Symptoms of anxiety and depression raise concern, and must be assessed for their severity and enduring qualities. Are these expressions evidence of moods that fluctuate over time even within a given day? Or are they reflective of full-blown syndromes enduring over time? Finally, are these reported and observable symptoms signs of current or imminent psychiatric disorders? Too frequently, episodes of anxiety and depression in persons with life-threatening illness are misdiagnosed where transient moods are given clinical relevance and syndromes are underestimated. Specificity in assessment is needed to derive the most appropriate intervention program.

This general neglect is particularly true of women living away from the HIV/AIDS epicenters. Using data collected in 1992-93, this paper examines the financial, physical, and emotional needs of 32 HIV-infected women living in southern Louisiana. These needs are then examined against the backdrop of the following psychosocial considerations: age, proximity to HIV/AIDS-related resources, ethnicity, disease progression, whether they have children living with them, and how they pay their bills (public vs. private). In addition, six feelings—sad, good, angry, scared, strong, and helpless—are explored. Implications for program development and counseling are discussed.","PeriodicalId":80390,"journal":{"name":"AIDS patient care","volume":"9 1","pages":"111-120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/APC.1995.9.111","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60796752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One such way is to take AIDS education into the streets by having small groups of nursing students and a faculty advisor manage information booths to educate the public about AIDS. The primary purpose is to provide information by distributing pamphlets and discussing the issues, with the intention of effecting a positive change in health-seeking and risk-taking behaviors of those stopping by the booth. A secondary purpose is to enhance the knowledge base of student nurses about HIV and AIDS. The eventual desired result is a decline in the number of reported HIV-positive cases. Such a program has the potential for becoming a national program for educating both the public and student nurses about HIV.","PeriodicalId":80390,"journal":{"name":"AIDS patient care","volume":"9 1","pages":"144-146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/APC.1995.9.144","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60797562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
