Abstract

Attitude is one of the factors that influence drop-out behaviour. Attitudes influence behaviour through a careful and reasonable decision making process. In this study, researchers divided the drop-out into 2 types: positive drop-out and negative drop-out. It was said positive drop-out if the respondent no longer used any type of drug, while it was said negative drop-out if the respondent still used any type of drug. This study aimed to observe the effect of attitude towards HIV/AIDS transmission through the use of syringes and the type of drop-out among participants of Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT). This was a cross-sectional study. Among 69 respondents, most respondents had good attitudes toward HIV/AIDS transmission through the use of syringes of 49 people (72.5%). The mean attitudes score was 18.81 with a mean value of 20.00. The minimum score was 12, while the maximum score was 23. The analysis of the correlation between the respondents’ attitudes and drop-out among participants of Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) showed that respondents who had positive drop-out among respondents who had good attitudes was 98.0% higher than respondents who had a bad attitude of 57.9%. Based on the results of the multivariate analysis, attitudes toward HIV/AIDS transmission through the use of syringes obtained OR=20.091, this meant that a good attitudes toward HIV/AIDS transmission through the use of syringes allowed respondents to have positive drop-out 20.091 times compared to bad attitudes. There was a correlation between respondents’ attitudes toward HIV/AIDS transmission through the use of syringes and the type of drop-out among participants of Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) (p-value=0.000).
