Although increasing attention is paid to HIV/AIDS, patients with HIV still experience several barriers to self-care. These barriers have been previously identified in small quantitative studies on women with HIV, but qualitative studies are required to clarify barriers to self-care.
We conducted our study using the grounded theory methodological approach. A total of 28 women with HIV and their family members, were interviewed. The data were analyzed with the Corbin and Strauss method (1998).
The key barriers to self-care in women with HIV/AIDS included social stigma, addiction, psychological problems, medication side-effects and financial problems.
Women with HIV/AIDS face several barriers to self-care. Therefore, when designing self-care models for these women, social and financial barriers should be identified. Mental health treatment should also be incorporated into such models and patients' access to health care services should be facilitated.
尽管对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的关注度日益提高,但艾滋病毒感染者在自我护理方面仍面临若干障碍。这些障碍先前已在针对感染艾滋病毒女性的小型定量研究中得到确认,但仍需要进行定性研究以阐明自我护理的障碍。
我们采用扎根理论方法进行研究。共对28名感染艾滋病毒的女性及其家庭成员进行了访谈。数据采用科尔宾和施特劳斯方法(1998年)进行分析。
艾滋病毒/艾滋病女性自我护理的关键障碍包括社会耻辱感、成瘾、心理问题、药物副作用和经济问题。
艾滋病毒/艾滋病女性在自我护理方面面临若干障碍。因此,在为这些女性设计自我护理模式时,应识别社会和经济障碍。心理健康治疗也应纳入此类模式,并应便利患者获得医疗保健服务。
