In this study we examined the influence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related bereavement on psychological distress from 1985 through 1991. We predicted that this relation would be influenced by personal knowledge of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and symptoms consistent with HIV-related illness. Interview data collected each year on a cohort of 746 gay men included information on the deaths and illnesses of network members caused by AIDS, as well as on psychological distress, sedative use, HIV-related symptoms, and HIV infection status. Significant main effects of bereavement were found in each year after controlling for both losses occurring from 1 to 2 years previously and for AIDS and HIV health status. The intensity and duration of these bereavement effects diminished over time. Groups of men who were both bereaved and classified as having AIDS or were HIV positive reported the highest level of distress in every year compared with the 3 other groups.
在本研究中，我们调查了1985年至1991年期间与获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）相关的丧亲之痛对心理困扰的影响。我们预测这种关系会受到人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染的个人认知以及与HIV相关疾病相符症状的影响。每年收集的关于746名男同性恋者队列的访谈数据包括因艾滋病导致的社交网络成员死亡和疾病信息，以及心理困扰、镇静剂使用、HIV相关症状和HIV感染状况。在控制了1至2年前发生的损失以及艾滋病和HIV健康状况后，每年都发现了丧亲之痛的显著主效应。这些丧亲之痛效应的强度和持续时间随着时间的推移而减弱。与其他3组相比，既经历丧亲之痛又被归类为患有艾滋病或HIV呈阳性的男性群体每年报告的困扰程度最高。
