The objective of this article is to provide a qualitative analysis of the practical concerns that people with HIV/AIDS have with regard to their use of complementary therapies. In-depth semistructured interviews were conducted with a diverse range of people with HIV/AIDS (N = 46). An inductive grounded approach was used to collect and analyze the data. There were five central concerns: (a) selecting which therapies to use, (b) judging which therapies work, (c) combining Western medicine with complementary therapies, (d) assessing the safety of complementary therapies, and (e) dealing with the barriers to the use of complementary therapies. A better understanding of the practical dimensions of complementary therapy use highlights the treatment and care issues that people with HIV/AIDS face and offers insights into the role that nurses might play in addressing some of these issues.
本文的目的是对感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人在使用辅助疗法方面的实际关切进行定性分析。对各类感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人（N = 46）进行了深入的半结构化访谈。采用归纳性扎根方法收集和分析数据。有五个核心关切：（a）选择使用哪些疗法，（b）判断哪些疗法有效，（c）将西医与辅助疗法相结合，（d）评估辅助疗法的安全性，以及（e）应对辅助疗法使用的障碍。更好地理解辅助疗法使用的实际层面，凸显了感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人所面临的治疗和护理问题，并为护士在解决其中一些问题时可能发挥的作用提供了见解。
