Custody planning among parents living with HIV or AIDS (PLHAs) can buffer the negative impact of parental death. The formal and informal custody plans for 594 children by 253 PLHAs and the relationships among custody plans, parental health, and psychosocial status were examined. About one-half of the parents had no formal custody plan. Parents were more likely to make plans for younger children. In addition, formal custody planning was more likely to occur among parents who reported using positive action, withdrawal-depressive, passive problem solving, social support, or spiritual coping styles and who reported higher parental self-esteem. Parent's substance use and emotional distress were not significantly related to custody plans. These data suggest the need for interventions to encourage formal custody planning.
感染艾滋病毒或患艾滋病的父母(PLHAs)制定监护计划可以缓冲父母死亡带来的负面影响。研究了253名感染艾滋病毒或患艾滋病的父母为594名儿童制定的正式和非正式监护计划,以及监护计划、父母健康状况和心理社会状况之间的关系。约一半的父母没有正式的监护计划。父母更有可能为年幼的孩子制定计划。此外,正式监护计划更有可能出现在那些报告采用积极行动、退缩-抑郁、被动解决问题、社会支持或精神应对方式,且父母自尊较高的父母中。父母的物质使用和情绪困扰与监护计划没有显著关系。这些数据表明需要进行干预以鼓励制定正式的监护计划。
