Questionnaires were administered to 105 HIV-positive men to assess their stressful life events, rated stress, unhealthy behaviours, and psychological adjustment. Two hypotheses about the effects of stressors and stress were tested. It was found that HIV-positive men experience high numbers of stressors and elevated levels of perceived stress and depression. Stressors in the areas of relationships, finances, and the illness of others were the most problematic and were associated with more depression. Rates of alcohol consumption, smoking, and unsafe sexual behaviours were fairly high. There were some modest, but significant positive correlations between stressors, stress, and risky behaviours. Number of stressors was associated with more alcohol consumption and perceived stress was positively related to more tobacco use and unsafe sexual behaviours. The high levels of stress and stressors and negative effects of stressors have both theoretical and practical implications.
对105名艾滋病毒呈阳性的男性进行了问卷调查，以评估他们生活中的应激事件、压力评分、不健康行为和心理调适情况。对关于应激源和压力影响的两个假设进行了检验。研究发现，艾滋病毒呈阳性的男性经历了大量的应激源，且感知到的压力和抑郁水平有所升高。人际关系、财务状况以及他人患病方面的应激源问题最大，且与更多的抑郁相关。饮酒、吸烟和不安全性行为的发生率相当高。应激源、压力和危险行为之间存在一些适度但显著的正相关。应激源的数量与更多的饮酒相关，而感知到的压力与更多的烟草使用和不安全性行为呈正相关。高水平的压力和应激源以及应激源的负面影响具有理论和实际意义。
