Diagnosis of HIV/AIDS infection can have adverse effects on the individual and may affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Numerous studies have previously assessed the HRQoL of persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) globally, but not in Jordan. The aim of the current study is to examine HRQoL among PLWHA residing in Jordan and to evaluate the effect of socio-demographic and disease-related factors on HRQoL.
An exploratory approach employing a cross-sectional design was applied. The study applied a semi-structured face-to-face interview followed by administration of self-reported questionnaire using the World Health Organization's Quality of Life HIV brief questionnaire (WHOQOL-HIV-BREF).
Results showed that unemployment, low income, non-disclosure status, single status (separated, divorced or widowed), and having comorbidities were connected with poor HRQoL.
PLWHA require more than just being provided with antiretroviral therapy to rebuild their lives.
艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染的诊断可能会对个人产生不利影响，并可能影响与健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）。此前，许多研究在全球范围内评估了艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（PLWHA）的生活质量，但在约旦尚未开展此类研究。本研究的目的是调查居住在约旦的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的生活质量，并评估社会人口学和疾病相关因素对生活质量的影响。
采用探索性方法，采用横断面设计。该研究采用半结构化面对面访谈，随后使用世界卫生组织的艾滋病毒生活质量简表问卷（WHOQOL-HIV-BREF）进行自我报告问卷调查。
结果显示，失业、低收入、未公开感染状况、单身状态（分居、离婚或丧偶）以及患有合并症与生活质量差有关。
艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者重建生活所需的不仅仅是抗逆转录病毒治疗。
