Parental HIV disclosure, where parents living with HIV (PLH) communicate their diagnosis to their children, is crucial for family communication. This study assessed intervention effects of a parental HIV disclosure intervention on psychosocial factors, focusing on child's age impact. Data from a randomized controlled trial involving 791 PLH in China were analyzed at baseline (W1), 6-month (W2), and 12-month follow-ups (W3). The study measured effects on psychosocial factors (HIV disclosure knowledge, outcome expectancy, action self-efficacy, and action planning) using the proportional latent change score method. Among PLH with children aged 6-9, the intervention yielded significant intervention effects on knowledge ( = 0.190, = .004), action self-efficacy ( = 0.342, = .001), and action planning ( = 0.389, < .001) from W1 to W2. For PLH with children aged 10-12, the intervention significantly enhanced action self-efficacy ( = 0.162, = .003) and action planning ( = 0.367, = .001) from W1 to W2, but there was a reduction in perceived benefits ( = -0.175, = 0.024) from W2 to W3. For PLH with children aged 13-15, significant intervention effects were observed on action planning, both from W1 to W2 ( = 0.251, = .045) and from W2 to W3 ( = 0.321, < .001). These findings highlight the importance of tailoring interventions to consider psychosocial factors and children's developmental stages to enhance HIV disclosure practices.
父母艾滋病病毒(HIV)披露,即 HIV 感染者父母向子女透露其诊断结果,对家庭沟通至关重要。本研究评估了父母 HIV 披露干预对心理社会因素的干预效果,重点关注儿童年龄的影响。研究数据来自中国一项涉及 791 名 HIV 感染者的随机对照试验,在基线(W1)、6 个月(W2)和 12 个月随访(W3)时进行分析。该研究使用比例潜在变化得分法测量心理社会因素(HIV 披露知识、结果预期、行动自我效能和行动计划)的影响。对于年龄在 6-9 岁的儿童的 HIV 感染者,干预措施在知识( = 0.190, = .004)、行动自我效能( = 0.342, = .001)和行动计划( = 0.389, < .001)方面从 W1 到 W2 有显著的干预效果。对于年龄在 10-12 岁的儿童的 HIV 感染者,干预措施显著提高了行动自我效能( = 0.162, = .003)和行动计划( = 0.367, = .001),但从 W2 到 W3 时感知益处减少( = -0.175, = 0.024)。对于年龄在 13-15 岁的儿童的 HIV 感染者,干预措施在行动计划方面有显著的干预效果,无论是从 W1 到 W2( = 0.251, = .045)还是从 W2 到 W3( = 0.321, < .001)。这些发现强调了根据儿童发展阶段调整干预措施以增强 HIV 披露实践的重要性,同时需要考虑心理社会因素。
