The COVID-19 pandemic poses a risk to mental health and may disproportionately affect people living with HIV (PLWH). This study examined the interaction of social support and resilient coping in predicting depressive symptoms among PLWH. PLWH residing in Buenos Aires, Argentina and in Miami, Florida (US) were asked to complete an anonymous survey on the impact of COVID-19. Statistical analysis included ordinary least squares regression. A total of 1,554 participants were included. Mean age was 47.30 years; 63.70% were men. A test of three-way interaction of social support × resilient coping × study site indicated differences by site (b = -0.63, p = 0.04, 95%CI [-1.24, -0.02]). In Argentina, higher levels of social support and resilient coping were associated with lower depressive symptoms. Lower levels of social support and resilient coping were associated with higher depressive symptoms. The impact of COVID-19 on mental health illustrates the need for developing innovative strategies to support resilience and to enhance coping with stress and adversity among PLWH.
新冠疫情对心理健康构成威胁,可能会对艾滋病毒感染者(PLWH)造成不成比例的影响。 本研究旨在探讨社会支持和弹性应对在预测 PLWH 抑郁症状中的交互作用。居住在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯和美国迈阿密的 PLWH 被要求完成一项关于新冠疫情影响的匿名调查。统计分析包括普通最小二乘法回归。共纳入 1554 名参与者。平均年龄为 47.30 岁;63.70%为男性。社会支持×弹性应对×研究地点三因素交互作用检验表明,地点之间存在差异(b=-0.63,p=0.04,95%CI [-1.24,-0.02])。在阿根廷,较高的社会支持和弹性应对与较低的抑郁症状相关。较低的社会支持和弹性应对与较高的抑郁症状相关。新冠疫情对心理健康的影响表明,需要制定创新策略,以支持 PLWH 的韧性,并增强他们应对压力和逆境的能力。
