Abstract

Forgiveness, a process of relinquishment of resentment, hostility, and anger toward an offender or self, is understudied among people living with HIV. This study examined the experience and process of forgiving the person who allegedly transmitted HIV, among people living with HIV. In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 people living with HIV aged 25 or older, diagnosed at least three years before the study. Three main themes emerged: "Anger is a poison": between forgiveness and unforgiveness; "I gave up the drive to suffer": the meaning of forgiveness; and "Forgiving is like building a building": phases of the forgiveness process between forgiveness and unforgiveness. This study revealed cognitive and emotional processes and phases of forgiveness. Forgiveness-focused interventions for people living with HIV are suggested.

"我意识到我可以选择":艾滋病毒感染者的宽恕之旅。
宽恕是一种放弃对犯罪者或自己的怨恨、敌意和愤怒的过程,但对艾滋病病毒感染者的宽恕研究不足。本研究探讨了艾滋病病毒感染者原谅被指控传播艾滋病病毒者的经历和过程。研究人员对 14 名年龄在 25 岁或以上、在研究前至少三年确诊的 HIV 感染者进行了深入访谈。访谈中出现了三大主题"愤怒是一种毒药":介于宽恕与不宽恕之间;"我放弃了受苦的动力":宽恕的意义;以及 "宽恕就像盖楼":介于宽恕与不宽恕之间的宽恕过程的各个阶段。这项研究揭示了宽恕的认知和情感过程及阶段。建议对艾滋病毒感染者采取以宽恕为重点的干预措施。
