Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 21, Issue 7
Abstract
This research investigates on the level of knowledge and use of preventive measures among teachers in Lutayan District 1, Lutayan Sultan Kudarat, about the Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS). HIV diagnoses have increased in the Philippines in recent years. This research employed qualitative and quantitative research designs. It described the HIV/AIDS awareness of teachers in terms of knowledge and attitudes in Lutayan District 1 in Sultan Kudarat. In the Philippines, there were projected to be 77,000 HIV-positive individuals by UNAIDS in 2020. To combat HIV/AIDS, the Philippine government has put in place a number of measures and programs, such as expanding access to services for prevention, treatment, and testing. Reaching important communities and overcoming societal stigma are still difficult tasks, though. The HIV/AIDS epidemic has been a major problem for the Philippines, and educators are vital in helping pupils become more aware of the disease and encourage preventive measures. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the teachers' attitudes regarding the illness as well as their knowledge of HIV/AIDS preventive strategies and transmission. The results of this study will highlight areas that need improvement and offer insightful information about how well teachers are currently being educated on HIV/AIDS. A safer and healthier learning environment for children and the larger community can be established by raising instructors' awareness and implementing preventive measures.
