Social Roles and Health in Women Living With HIV/AIDS: A Pilot Study
چکیده انگلیسی

The purpose of this report is to share results from a pilot study about the social role experiences and health of women living with HIV/AIDS. This pilot was designed as part of a larger study undertaken to ensure cultural competence of measures and methods proposed for testing a model of role quality and health in culturally diverse low-income women. Thirteen women participated in the study (69% African American; 77% less than $10,000 annual income; range of years since HIV diagnosis, 3-21). Measures of physical health, role quality, and psychological well-being previously used to test relationships among the variables in women with chronic illness were administered using a face-to-face interview format. Results indicated that the women experienced a number of HIV symptoms and coexisting health problems, moderate physical limitations, positive perceptions of their roles, moderate levels of well-being, and high depression scores. The pilot study represents the first step in the development of a theory-based approach to understanding linkages among health and role quality in women with HIV.
