Statistical analysis

Descriptive statistics of healthcare worker’s demographic characteristics and knowledge, challenges, and practices of disclosure were tabulated. Bivariate analysis was conducted using logistic regression in order to find the odds of all independent variables being associated with non-disclosure among the healthcare workers. The outcome variable of the study was HIV non-disclosure. The independent variables were: age, gender, work experience in ART, ART training, and professional group. These variables were selected following our review of previous studies [22, 23, 38–40] whose authors reported on healthcare workers’ perspectives on HIV disclosure. Variables with p-values of ≤0.25 in bivariate analysis [41] were then included in the multivariate logistic regression in order to find adjusted odds ratio of variables associated with non-disclosure The level of significance was set at p < 0.05.
