This study examines how family support affects people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) in China. In-depth, semi-structured interviews (n=30) were conducted with people living with HIV/AIDS who were infected through different routes (e.g., intravenous drug use, sex) and of different age groups. Findings showed that all of the participants were in great need of help and the primary source of support came from their families. Family support included financial assistance, support in the disclosure process, daily routine activities, medical assistance, or psychological support. This study illustrates that the support provided by family makes multiple levels of positive impact on people living with HIV/AIDS, suggesting the importance of including families in HIV/AIDS interventions.
本研究探讨了家庭支持如何影响中国的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者。我们对通过不同途径(如静脉注射吸毒、性行为)感染且年龄各异的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者进行了30次深入的半结构化访谈。研究结果表明,所有参与者都非常需要帮助,而主要的支持来源是他们的家庭。家庭支持包括经济援助、信息披露过程中的支持、日常活动、医疗援助或心理支持。本研究表明,家庭提供的支持对艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者产生了多层次的积极影响,这表明将家庭纳入艾滋病毒/艾滋病干预措施的重要性。
