The significance of formal and informal supports and barriers on the company level for combining employment and informal care for older adults has rarely been investigated. This is one of the main findings of a systematic literature review. This systematic literature review elucidates what can be learned from research on practices that have been de...

The research project investigated the needs and perceptions of HIV-positive people aged 50 and over regarding their future life in old age, and the extent to which these are shaped by the HIV infection and their biographical experiences. Based on 15 guided interviews with HIV-positive persons between the ages of 51 and 83, ideas on life in old age...

From March 2021 until May 2021 we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) of existing studies on the reconciliation of employment and informal caregiving of older relatives, followed by 15 qualitative expert-interviews in Switzerland and Austria, respectively, from October 2021 until January 2022, analyzed according to the principles of Grou...

Demographic development, women’s increasing participation in the labor market and pressures to postpone retirement age increasing demand for informal care for the aged. Therefore, knowledge about combining employment and informal care for the aged is growing of importance. Research shows that this involves more than financial considerations. The ma...

Aim The aim of this study was to determine the intention to use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) when available and to identify predictors of the intention to use PrEP among men who have sex with men (MSM) living in Switzerland. The theoretical model drew on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and considered additional variables r...

Der Artikel basiert auf der Evaluation des Präventionsprogrammes Afrimedia, die die Hochschule für Soziale Arbeit FHNW im Auftrag der Aids-Hilfe Schweiz von 2014 bis 2015 durchgeführt hatte. Im Rahmen dieser Evaluation erfolgte eine Dokumentenanalyse und es fanden Fokusgruppeninterviews mit Programmverantwortlichen in den Kantonen sowie mit Mediato...

Background: Almost half of the 500 to 700 HIV infections yearly diagnosed in Switzerland are among men who have sex with men (MSM). Although HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has not been approved in Switzerland, there is a discussion about its potential and adequacy as an additional prevention method especially for MSM. Therefore, the aim of the...

Due to the high proportion of newly diagnosed HIV-infections among men who have sex with men in high-income countries, the WHO recommended in 2014 offering oral PrEP to men who have sex with men (MSM). Although PrEP has not been approved in Switzerland, it is discussed as an additional prevention method for MSM. However, little is known about the a...

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify the living conditions and the quality of life of people aged more than 50 who were living with HIV in Switzerland. Participants were consecutively sampled through different HIV-specific sites. Seventy-two HIV-positive persons filled in an anonymous standardized questionnaire, either paper-pencil...

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is discussed as an additional HIV prevention method targeting men who have sex with men (MSM). So far, PrEP has not been approved in Switzerland and only little is known about the acceptability of PrEP among MSM living in Switzerland. Given the slow uptake of PrEP among MSM in the USA, the objectives of the study wer...

The authors investigated the circumstances of recent HIV infections in Switzerland. Their aim was to identify the interactions between individuals’ personal HIV protection strategies, their actual risk behavior, and situational factors during the high-risk event. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 32 recently infected persons aged 21–64...

Background In Switzerland, the HIV epidemic continues to concentrate on MSM. The increasing number of new diagnoses in MSM is attributed to decreasing condom use in this population. Studies suggest that some 20% of MSM do not use condoms consistently when having sex with casual partners. Considerable proportions of MSM who cannot or do not want to...

Background: Throughout Europe, differences in satisfaction with HIV-care of people living with HIV (PLHIV) persist, despite a tendency towards harmonisation of policy and management. Methods: A European sample of 1,549 PLHIV responded to an anonymous questionnaire assessing demographic background, general health, mental health, sexual health, and H...

Throughout Europe, differences in satisfaction with HIV-care of people living with HIV (PLHIV) persist, despite a tendency towards harmonisation of policy and management.

This prospective study applies an extended Information-Motivation-Behavioural Skills (IMB) model to establish predictors of HIV-protection behaviour among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) during sex with casual partners. Data have been collected from anonymous, self-administered questionnaires and analysed by using descriptive and backw...

Guided by a modified information-motivation-behavioral skills model, this study identified predictors of condom use among heterosexual people living with HIV with their steady partners. Consecutive patients at 14 European HIV outpatient clinics received an anonymous, standardized, self-administered questionnaire between March and December 2007. Dat...

This study on determinants of sexual protection behavior among HIV-positive gay men used the empirically tested information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model. HIV-specific variables were added to the model to determine factors decisive for condom use with steady and casual partners. Data were collected using an anonymous, standardized self-a...

Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and rights are important components of quality of life. This cross-sectional study describes HIV-positive women's SRH aspirations and needs and the predictive value of selected SRH factors on condom use with steady sexual partners. Data were collected in a European multi-centre study in 17 HIV centres in 14 Euro...

In einer qualitativen Studie mit 15 Sexarbeitern, die ihre sexuellen Dienste Männern anbieten, untersuchen die Autorinnen und Autoren, welche Konsequenzen verschiedene Situationsdefinitionen auf das HIVSchutzverhalten haben. Sie werten die Interviews mittels der Grounded Theory (Theoretisches Kodieren) aus und ziehen dabei die Rahmentheorie Hartmut...

The number of HIV-infected persons with children and caregiving duties is likely to increase. From this statement, the present study was designed to establish how HIV infected caregivers organise their parenting routines and to determine their support needs. A further aim was to ascertain caregivers' perception of conspicuous behaviours displayed b...

Aim Against the background of an upward trend in newly diagnosed HIV-infections and the increasing importance of heterosexual HIV-transmission in Europe and Switzerland, the theory of planned behaviour has been tested and extended in a prospective study on condom use in a community sample of heterosexual men. Methods 982 Swiss men between the ages...

Against the background of an upward trend in newly diagnosed HIV infections and the increasing importance of heterosexual HIV transmission in Europe and Switzerland, the theory of planned behaviour has been tested and extended in a prospective study on condom use in a community sample of heterosexual men. Nine hundred eighty-two Swiss men between t...

Given the increasing importance of heterosexual HIV-transmission in Europe and Switzerland, the present study tested the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in a prospective study on the HIV-protection behaviour in a community sample of heterosexual men. The study focused on condom use in sexual encounters with new partners. Participants were 982 Swi...

For the first time, the theory of planned behaviour has been tested in a prospective study on the HIV protective behaviour in a community sample of heterosexual men. It proved to be able to predict condom use in sexual encounters with new and casual partners in a sample of 982 Swiss men between the ages of 25 and 65. In accordance with the theory,...

Männer sterben früher, leben risikoreicher und achten weniger auf ihre Gesundheit als Frauen. Sie haben ein instrumentelles Verhältnis zu ihrem Körper, betrachten diesen als Maschine, die bei Störungen repariert werden kann. Aber ist der Umgang mit dem eigenen Körper tatsächlich eine Frage des Geschlechts? Anknüpfend an die Diskussion um soziale Un...

Methods: Verbal data was generated in 23 specific interviews with Swiss German men in the age between 25 and 65 years. The analysis was based on an integration of open coding and doc...
