There are limited reports on the relationship between spirituality and mental stress in PLWH in China, who may be subject to anti-religious pressures from the government. In this study, we aimed to understand whether spirituality influences Chinese PLWH's mental stress and, if so, at what level. We recruited 200 PLWHs from Beijing's Ditan Hospital to complete a cross-sectional survey inquiring about their practice of spirituality as well as their level of mental stress. The study found that PLWH who presented with a mid-level of spirituality have the highest mental stress when compared to those who have a low level of spiritual beliefs or a high level of spiritual beliefs. This study points to the utility of healthcare providers taking PLWH's potential spirituality into consideration, perhaps in particular for those with a moderate level of spirituality, in order to provide the most comprehensive care possible.
在中国，关于艾滋病病毒感染者（PLWH）的精神性与心理压力之间关系的报道有限，他们可能面临来自政府的反宗教压力。在本研究中，我们旨在了解精神性是否会影响中国艾滋病病毒感染者的心理压力，如果是，影响程度如何。我们从北京地坛医院招募了200名艾滋病病毒感染者，进行横断面调查，询问他们的精神性实践以及心理压力水平。研究发现，与精神信仰水平低或高的艾滋病病毒感染者相比，精神性处于中等水平的感染者心理压力最大。这项研究指出，医疗服务提供者应考虑艾滋病病毒感染者潜在的精神性，特别是对于那些精神性处于中等水平的感染者，以便提供尽可能全面的护理。
