Abstract

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine quality of life and its associating factors among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the hilly region of Myanmar. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the National AIDS Program and Integrated HIV Care Program in Myanmar. A total of 326 PLHIV were recruited, of whom 49.1% had high QOL. Adherence to ART (AOR: 5.18; 95% CI: 2.02–13.31), high social capital (AOR: 3.16; 95% CI: 1.85–5.38), being male (AOR: 2.21; 95% CI: 1.27–3.83), asymptomatic (AOR: 2.18; 95% CI: 1.24–3.83), low self-stigma (AOR: 2.85; 95% CI: 1.61–5.04), and time spent at the clinic less than 30 min (AOR: 2.17; 95% CI: 1.15–4.08) were significant predictors of quality of life (QOL) among PLHIV. This study revealed that social factors such as HIV stigma and gender issues are important determinants of QOL in addition to health service factors and clinical outcomes.
缅甸丘陵地区艾滋病毒感染者生活质量的决定因素
摘要本研究旨在确定缅甸丘陵地区HIV感染者的生活质量及其相关因素。在缅甸国家艾滋病规划署和艾滋病毒综合护理规划署进行了一项横断面研究。共招募了326名PLHIV患者,其中49.1%的患者生活质量较高。坚持抗逆转录病毒疗法(AOR:5.18;95%CI:2.02-13.31),高社会资本(AOR:3.16;95%CI:1.85-5.38 min(AOR:2.17;95%CI:1.15–4.08)是PLHIV患者生活质量(QOL)的重要预测因素。这项研究表明,除了卫生服务因素和临床结果外,艾滋病毒污名化和性别问题等社会因素也是生活质量的重要决定因素。
