艾滋病致孤儿童学习现状分析

目的了解艾滋病致孤儿童的学习现状，为进一步加强以家庭和学校为基础的支持提供线索。方法选取5个中国政府和联合国儿童基金会合作艾滋病致孤儿童关怀项目县，对251名6-14岁艾滋病致孤儿童进行问卷调查，并对其中10人进行个人深入访谈。结果23.1％的儿童没有上学，其中31.0％在父／母去世前辍学，主要原因是经济困难、给家里干活、照顾生病父母、跟不上学习等。上学儿童中，29．5％的儿童学习成绩在父母去世后下降，主要原因有父母生病去世期间缺课、担心父／母病情、生活困难导致家庭作业条件差，无人管教、家务活多、上课不能集中注意力等。结论父／母患艾滋病或死于艾滋病后儿童的学习情况发生了变化，他们在父母生病期间和父母去世后需要经济和社会心理支持。
