In HIV care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), potential behavioural economic strategies that may be utilized alone or in conjunction with more traditional approaches include using choice architecture to exploit status quo bias and reduce the effects of cognitive load, overcoming the impact of anchoring and availability bias through tailored clinical training and clinical mentoring, reducing the effects of present bias by changing the cost-benefit calculus of interventions with few short-term benefits and leveraging social norms through peer comparison. As with any implementation strategy, understanding the local context and catalysts of behaviour is crucial for success.
As the focus of HIV care shifts beyond the goal of initiating patients on antiretroviral therapy to a more general retention in high-quality care to support longevity and quality of life, there is an increasing need for innovation to achieve improved care delivery and management. Clinical policies and implementation strategies that incorporate elements of behavioural economic theory, alongside local testing and adaptation, may increase the delivery of evidence-based interventions and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV in LMIC settings.
结论:在低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)的艾滋病毒护理中,可能单独使用或与更传统方法结合使用的潜在行为经济策略包括使用选择架构来利用现状偏见并减少认知负荷的影响,通过量身定制的临床培训和临床指导,克服锚定和可用性偏见的影响,通过改变短期收益很少的干预措施的成本效益计算,并通过同行比较利用社会规范来减少当前偏见的影响。与任何实施策略一样,了解当地环境和行为的催化剂对成功至关重要。
结论:随着艾滋病毒护理的重点从患者开始接受抗逆转录病毒治疗的目标转移到更普遍的高质量护理中,以支持长寿和生活质量,越来越需要创新来改善护理服务和管理。纳入行为经济理论要素的临床政策和实施策略,除了本地测试和适应,可能会增加循证干预措施的实施,并改善LMIC环境中艾滋病毒感染者的健康结果。
