Depressive symptoms, HIV stigma, perceived social support and preoccupation with secrecy were assessed using the Nine\u2010item Patient Health Questionnaire, Berger HIV Stigma Scale, Medical Outcomes Study\u2014Social Support Survey, and Preoccupation with Secrecy Survey, respectively. Descriptive, correlational and bootstrap\u2010based path analyses were conducted using SPSS version 26.0.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the participants, 52% reported mild or above depressive symptoms. HIV stigma was associated with depression, and this relationship was mediated by perceived social support and preoccupation with secrecy. Specifically, the mediation model revealed three pathways: (1) the independent mediating effect of perceived social support (effect size\u2009=\u20090.077); (2) the independent mediating effect of preoccupation with secrecy (effect size\u2009=\u20090.161); and (3) the chain mediating effect of perceived social support and preoccupation with secrecy (effect size\u2009=\u20090.011). Notably, pathway 2 exhibited the largest relative effect (64.7%), followed by pathway 1 (30.9%) and pathway 3 (4.4%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study clarifies the pathway from HIV stigma to mental health, informing focused nursing strategies. Key nursing actions include fostering a non\u2010judgemental environment that encourages the observation and expression of feelings without criticism and is centred on understanding and acceptance, facilitating access to social support, and utilising techniques such as distraction, self\u2010affirmation or art\u2010based activities.
