Posttraumatic growth after a diagnosis of HIV is positively associated with adjustment, yet stigma and disclosure regret are negatively associated with adjustment. Research into whether posttraumatic growth is experienced while perceiving stigma and disclosure regret is still growing. This study aimed to determine whether posttraumatic growth maintains a positive relation with life satisfaction after controlling for disclosure regret and perceived stigma. Using a cross-sectional design, a questionnaire measuring life satisfaction, health status, depression, posttraumatic growth, disease severity, perceived stigma, disclosure regret, and demographical information was completed by 73 people living with HIV (PLWH). Results showed that all participants had disclosed to at least one person. Regression results showed that after controlling for other variables, including stigma and disclosure regret, posttraumatic growth was positively associated with life satisfaction. The importance of the relation of posttraumatic growth with subjective measures of adjustment may be important for interventions aimed at supporting PLWH.
创伤后成长与 HIV 诊断后的调整呈正相关，而耻辱感和披露后悔则与调整呈负相关。关于在感知耻辱感和披露后悔时是否会经历创伤后成长的研究仍在不断发展。本研究旨在确定在控制披露后悔和感知耻辱感后，创伤后成长是否仍然与生活满意度保持积极关系。本研究采用横断面设计，通过问卷测量生活满意度、健康状况、抑郁、创伤后成长、疾病严重程度、感知耻辱感、披露后悔和人口统计学信息，共完成了 73 名 HIV 感染者（PLWH）的调查。结果显示，所有参与者都至少向一人披露了自己的 HIV 状况。回归结果表明，在控制其他变量（包括耻辱感和披露后悔）后，创伤后成长与生活满意度呈正相关。创伤后成长与主观调整测量指标的关系的重要性可能对旨在支持 HIV 感染者的干预措施很重要。
