Several predictors of suicidal ideation found in older adults and adults with HIV are the same; synergistically, those aging with HIV may be at risk for suicidal ideation. Focusing on the concept of hardiness provides insight into mitigating suicidal ideation and accentuating successful aging with HIV. Some individuals may have hardy characteristics that counteract the detrimental effects of aging with HIV; others may require greater guidance to cope with the effects that lead to suicidal ideation. As these connections are examined, the concept of hardiness is examined in relation to aging with HIV. Implications for nursing are posited.
在老年成年人和感染艾滋病毒的成年人中发现的几种自杀意念预测因素是相同的；协同作用的是，那些感染艾滋病毒的老年人可能有自杀意念的风险。关注心理韧性的概念有助于深入了解减轻自杀意念，并突出感染艾滋病毒后的成功老龄化。一些人可能具有心理韧性特征，可抵消感染艾滋病毒后衰老的有害影响；另一些人可能需要更多指导来应对导致自杀意念的影响。随着对这些联系的研究，心理韧性的概念也与感染艾滋病毒后的衰老相关联进行了研究。并提出了对护理的启示。
