Research shows that chronic illness patients encounter difficulties in the social sharing of emotions (SSE). Since most SSE studies focus on quantitative aspects, the present study, aimed, among others, to study the associations between the quality of SSE in people living with HIV/AIDS and patients' psychological and physical well-being. A total of 101 HIV/AIDS patients answered a questionnaire (Likert scale items) which assessed: shame, guilt, perceived stigma, reasons for non-disclosure of serostatus, physical health, mental health, SSE and quality of SSE. While no associations were found between quantitative aspects of SSE, physical health and mental health, the quality of SSE was negatively correlated to shame and guilt, and positively correlated to physical and mental health. Furthermore, mediation analyses showed the mediating role of the quality of SSE in the relationship between, on the one hand, shame and guilt; and on the other hand, physical and mental health. Findings suggest the importance of qualitative aspects of SSE in the emergence of positive outcomes linked to emotional expression in people living with HIV/AIDS.
研究表明，慢性病患者在情感的社会分享（SSE）方面存在困难。由于大多数SSE研究侧重于定量方面，本研究除其他目的外，旨在研究艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的SSE质量与患者心理和身体健康之间的关联。共有101名艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者回答了一份问卷（李克特量表项目），该问卷评估了：羞耻感、内疚感、感知到的耻辱感、不透露血清学状态的原因、身体健康、心理健康、SSE及SSE质量。虽然在SSE的定量方面、身体健康和心理健康之间未发现关联，但SSE质量与羞耻感和内疚感呈负相关，与身心健康呈正相关。此外，中介分析表明，SSE质量在一方面羞耻感和内疚感，与另一方面身心健康之间的关系中起中介作用。研究结果表明，SSE的定性方面对于艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者情感表达所产生的积极结果具有重要意义。
