Abstract

Cette étude examine le niveau de connaissance relative aux mécanismes de transmission du VIH et aux comportements à risque pour l'acquisition du VIH chez des immigrants turcs demeurant à Basel, en Suisse. De plus, l'efficacité des interventions de prévention de la part des médecins d'une clinique externe de médecine interne a été évaluée. Deux échantillons de convenance de 150 et 98 patients turcs à leur première visite à la clinique ont été recrutés à 6 mois d'intervalle. Le premier groupe a été renseigné, avec l'aide d'un interprète, sur la prévention du VIH; le groupe contrôle n'a reçu aucun enseignement. La connaissance des mécanismes de transmission et des comportements à risque pour l'acquisition du VIH a été évaluée par un questionnaire de 29 items à la première visite et lors d'une entrevue à la seconde visite. Après un an, 49% des patients ont pu être requestionnés. Dans l'ensemble, le pourcentage moyen de bonnes réponses au sujet de la transmission du VIH et des comportements à risque est passé de 49,3% à 60,0% (p>0,0001). L'amélioration du niveau de connaissance d'un groupe par rapport à l'autre a presque atteint le seuil de significantion (p=0,059). Avant tout intervention, une étude de population a montré que les patients turcs obtenaient des résultats significativement inférieurs au sujet de leurs connaissances à propos du VIH comparativement à un groupe de 148 patients suisses. Le modèle de cette étude et le faible pourcentage de patients revus à un an en limitent les conclusions. Copyright Birkhäuser Verlag 1997
