Adolescents/young adults with perinatally-acquired HIV infection experience a number of issues that impact developmental tasks. No study to date has described the process by which this occurs. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to describe the process by which HIV infection impacts adolescent/young adult development. Interviews were conducted and analyzed with 25 participants age 18 to 24. Six core categories emerged that were used to generate a theory, integration versus disintegration, that describes how perinatal HIV impacts participants' development. The results of this study provide unique clinical considerations for pediatric and adult clinicians providing care for this population.
围产期感染艾滋病毒的青少年/青年会经历许多影响发育任务的问题。迄今为止,尚无研究描述这一过程是如何发生的。这项扎根理论研究的目的是描述艾滋病毒感染影响青少年/青年发育的过程。对25名年龄在18至24岁之间的参与者进行了访谈并进行了分析。出现了六个核心类别,用于生成一个理论,即整合与解体,该理论描述了围产期艾滋病毒如何影响参与者的发育。这项研究的结果为为这一人群提供护理的儿科和成人临床医生提供了独特的临床考虑因素。
