Psychological treatments improve depressive symptoms in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Adaptation of treatments should be based on explanatory models of depression and other elements within the given context.
This study aimed to examine explanatory models of depression and acceptable approaches for implementation of group IPT in Northwest Ethiopia.
Qualitative data were collected from April to May 2019 from case managers, adherence supporters and service users using focus group discussion and analysed thematically.
PLWHA attributed depression to psychosocial problems, spiritual factors and biological factors. Depression had several impacts at individual and family level. Group-based interpersonal therapy (IPT) was acceptable if provided by trained peer counselors.
The current study findings informed how to conduct feasibility and acceptability trials of group IPT in the HIV population in Ethiopia.
心理治疗可改善艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（PLWHA）的抑郁症状。治疗方法的适应应基于抑郁的解释模型以及特定背景下的其他因素。
本研究旨在探讨埃塞俄比亚西北部抑郁解释模型以及可接受的实施团体IPT 的方法。
2019 年 4 月至 5 月，通过焦点小组讨论从个案经理、遵医嘱支持者和服务使用者处收集定性数据，并进行主题分析。
PLWHA 将抑郁归因于社会心理问题、精神因素和生物因素。抑郁对个人和家庭层面都有多种影响。如果由经过培训的同伴顾问提供，基于团体的人际心理治疗（IPT）是可以接受的。
本研究结果为在埃塞俄比亚的 HIV 人群中开展团体 IPT 的可行性和可接受性试验提供了信息。
