The aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify the living conditions and the quality of life of people aged more than 50 who were living with HIV in Switzerland. Participants were consecutively sampled through different HIV-specific sites. Seventy-two HIV-positive persons filled in an anonymous standardized questionnaire, either paper-pencil or online. Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated. Quality of life was rated quite high ( = 14.9, = 4.14). The multivariate regression analyses showed that mental and physical health problems, long-term living with HIV, having a high degree of needed support, and financial problems decreased quality of life, and perceived available social support was an important predictor in maintaining quality of life. In addition to current offers to support mental health and social networks, efforts to integrate people of working age into the labor market and efforts to reduce stigma and the social marginalization of older HIV-positive people should be fostered.
这项横断面研究的目的是确定瑞士50岁以上感染艾滋病毒者的生活条件和生活质量。通过不同的艾滋病毒特定场所连续抽取参与者。72名艾滋病毒呈阳性者填写了一份匿名标准化问卷，问卷形式为纸质或在线。计算了描述性和推断性统计数据。生活质量评分相当高（平均值 = 14.9，标准差 = 4.14）。多元回归分析表明，心理和身体健康问题、长期感染艾滋病毒、需要高度支持以及经济问题会降低生活质量，而感知到的可用社会支持是维持生活质量的重要预测因素。除了目前提供的支持心理健康和社会网络的措施外，还应推动将适龄劳动者纳入劳动力市场的努力，以及减少对老年艾滋病毒呈阳性者的污名化和社会边缘化的努力。
