摘要

有限的研究调查了印度等中低收入国家感染艾滋病毒和艾滋病的妇女的心理健康状况。这项探索性研究调查了印度南部农村地区20名艾滋病毒阳性妇女的痛苦和应对情况。焦点小组以泰米尔语进行,并对主题内容进行编码。妇女被问及困难、来自社区的支持以及首选的应对方式。出现了几个主题,包括:社会和家庭排斥;难以满足基本需求;对儿童未来的关切;并且有兴趣帮助处于类似处境的人。与会者强调了药物依从性和社会支持在保持身心健康方面的重要性。未来的研究应该使用混合方法在该地区更大的艾滋病毒阳性妇女样本中调查这些主题。还应探索干预策略,以减少艾滋病毒耻辱,并增加社区对艾滋病毒相关社会排斥的个人的接受和社会支持。关键词:艾滋病毒/艾滋病;印度;心理健康;

They will not even give me a cup of water: Stress and coping among women living with HIV in Southern India
Limited research has examined the mental health of women living with HIV and AIDS in low and middle income countries such as India. This exploratory study examined distress and coping among twenty HIV positive women in rural southern India. Focus groups were conducted in Tamil, and coded for thematic content. Women were asked about hardships, support from the community, and preferred forms of coping. Several themes emerged including: social and familial rejection; difficulty meeting basic needs; concerns for the future of children; and interest in helping others in similar circumstances.  Participants highlighted the importance of medication adherence and social support in maintaining physical and mental wellbeing. Future research should investigate these themes in a larger sample of HIV positive women in the region using mixed methods. Intervention strategies should also be explored to reduce HIV stigma, and increase community acceptance and social support for individuals struggling with HIV-related social exclusion.   Key words: HIV and AIDS, India, mental health, women, stigma, coping.
