Abstract

Purpose: To explore nurses' experiences caring for older people living with HIV (OPLWH).

Method: Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 nurses to explore their perspectives, challenges, and insights related to providing care for OPLWH.

Results: Using thematic analysis, we identified seven themes that were further organized into four overarching domains to enhance coherence and alignment: (1) Health Care System and Structural Challenges, (2) Clinical and Functional Care Needs, (3) Psychosocial Care and Experiences, and (4) Workforce Capacity and Training. These domains reflect the interconnected nature of system-level, clinical, psychosocial, and provider factors influencing the care of OPLWH.

Conclusion: Findings highlight the importance of interdisciplinary care models, the integration of mental health and social needs assessments in nursing practice, professional education systems to address the intersection of aging and HIV, and advocacy by nurses to promote holistic and patient-centered care for OPLWH.

美国护士照顾社区居住的老年艾滋病毒感染者的经验：一项定性研究。

目的：探讨护理人员护理老年艾滋病毒感染者的经验。方法：对15名护士进行单独的半结构化访谈，探讨他们在为OPLWH提供护理方面的观点、挑战和见解。结果：通过主题分析，我们确定了七个主题，进一步组织为四个总体领域，以增强一致性和一致性：(1)卫生保健系统和结构挑战，(2)临床和功能护理需求，(3)社会心理护理和经验，以及(4)劳动力能力和培训。这些领域反映了影响OPLWH护理的系统级、临床、社会心理和提供者因素的相互联系的性质。结论：研究结果强调了跨学科护理模式的重要性，在护理实践中整合心理健康和社会需求评估，专业教育体系以解决老龄化与艾滋病毒的交叉问题，以及护士倡导促进OPLWH的整体和以患者为中心的护理。
