Experiences of Lay Counsellors in Addressing Stigma During Group
Support Psychotherapy and Its Relationship with Suicidal Behaviour
among Depressed Persons Living with HIV in Uganda: A Mixed
Methods Study
REFNo: HS7630ES
To address these gaps, this study adopts a mixed-methods, mechanism
focused design that integrates qualitative insights from lay counsellors
with secondary quantitative analysis of trial data.
Specifically, the study aims to:
i)
Explore how lay counsellors working in community settings in
Uganda understand, experience, and address stigma among their
clients, and to identify the psychosocial, relational, and practical
mechanisms through which their support facilitates coping,
engagement in care, and recovery.
ii)
iii)
Examine the baseline association between HIV-related stigma
and suicidality—operationalised as suicidal ideation and history
of previous suicide attempt—among depressed people living with
HIV.
Determine whether Group Support Psychotherapy reduces
suicidal ideation over time, particularly at 2 months (during
therapy) and 6 months (post-therapy), compared with the control
condition.
