This naturalistic study reports the attitudinal approaches of long-term survivors of AIDS. Ethnographic interviewing techniques were employed to interview a purposive sample of 14 men and 6 women who had had AIDS for at least 3 years and who were living in the Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL, area. As part of a larger study on the phenomenon of surviving AIDS, participants reconstructed their lives within the context of AIDS. There were five dimensions involved in becoming a long-term survivor, and this article reports on the attitudinal dimension, labelled "focusing on living." Components of this dimension include having a positive attitude, planning for the future, and having a focus for one's energies. Implications for practice, theory, and research are discussed, and specific strategies are suggested for nurses to assist people in all stages of HIV disease.
这项自然主义研究报告了艾滋病长期存活者的态度取向。采用人种志访谈技术，对14名男性和6名女性进行了有目的抽样访谈，这些人感染艾滋病至少3年，居住在佛罗里达州坦帕/圣彼得斯堡地区。作为一项关于艾滋病存活现象的更大规模研究的一部分，参与者在艾滋病背景下重构了他们的生活。成为长期存活者涉及五个维度，本文报告了被标记为“关注生活”的态度维度。这个维度的组成部分包括拥有积极的态度、规划未来以及为自己的精力找到一个关注点。文中讨论了对实践、理论和研究的启示，并为护士提出了具体策略，以协助处于艾滋病毒疾病各个阶段的人们。
