Abstract

Abstract Women living with HIV (WLWH) face stress and stigma due to their HIV status, and web-based support groups may provide a beneficial means for connection and education. This paper presents an exploratory study examining the feasibility and potential benefits of a professionally moderated, psychoeducational, web-based support group for WLWH. Ten women participated and the average number of weekly posts was 13.38. Active participants were more likely to be White and have a history of suicidality/self-harm. Findings suggest that future implementations may lead to improvements in depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic growth. Results substantiate prior research and provide a foundation for future interventions.
专业调节、心理教育、基于网络的艾滋病妇女支持:一项探索性研究
感染艾滋病毒的妇女(WLWH)因其艾滋病毒状况而面临压力和耻辱,基于网络的支持团体可能提供有益的联系和教育手段。本文提出了一项探索性研究,探讨了一个专业主持的、心理教育的、基于网络的WLWH支持小组的可行性和潜在效益。有10名女性参与,每周平均发帖数为13.38次。积极的参与者更有可能是白人,并且有自杀/自残的历史。研究结果表明,未来的实施可能会改善抑郁、焦虑和创伤后成长。结果证实了先前的研究,并为未来的干预提供了基础。
