The negative impact of stigma was particularly evident in domains related to physical health, psychological well-being, and spirituality. Participants who were married, had children, consumed alcohol, had comorbidities (particularly hepatitis B\/C), and lacked a history of drug use reported varying levels of correlation with QOL domains and stigma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>By identifying the intricate connections between stigma and QOL, the study provides valuable insights for designing comprehensive interventions that prioritize the well-being of HIV infected outpatients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/22799036241238667","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,28]],"date-time":"2024-03-28T22:35:50Z","timestamp":1711665350000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The relationship between HIV-related stigma and quality of life among HIV infected outpatients: A cross-sectional study in Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Van Thi Hai","family":"Hoang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, Ha Noi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8344-2888","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hai-Thanh","family":"Pham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, Ha Noi, Vietnam"},{"name":"Institute of Environmental Health and Sustainable Development (IEHSD), Ha Noi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Linh Thi Phuong","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, Ha Noi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ngoc-Anh","family":"Tran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, Ha Noi, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Va Quynh-Trang","family":"Le-Thi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nghe An Center for Disease Control, Nghe An, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-22799036241238667","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jep.13744"},{"key":"bibr2-22799036241238667","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18105424"},{"key":"bibr3-22799036241238667","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare9080962"},{"key":"bibr4-22799036241238667","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjgh-2018-001285"},{"key":"bibr5-22799036241238667","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2050312119869109"},{"key":"bibr6-22799036241238667","author":"Gamassa E","year":"2023","journal-title":"Res Sq"},{"key":"bibr7-22799036241238667","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09540121.2021.1891193"},{"key":"bibr8-22799036241238667","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09540121.2020.1752890"},{"key":"bibr9-22799036241238667","unstructured":"Unaids.
