.hiv / Aids Patients Quality Of Life And Medical Coping Modes Relations

Objective1. To find out HIV/AIDS status of patients with the quality of life and psychological coping styles.2.To explore the effect of coping styles on quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients, with a view to provide theoretical basis for improving the quality of life of patients with HIV/AIDS.MethodsIn depth interviews on the 49 HIV/AIDS patients to understand the status in their daily life and psychosocial status, "Brief Health Questionnaire (SF-36)" and "Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ)" were used for evaluating their quality of life and coping styles.Results1. The status of the patients with HIV/AIDS on quality of life.(1) Compared with the norm, the physiological function, physical function and bodily pain status of the HIV/AIDS patients has statistical significance (P<0.05). In other factors, the difference between the HIV/AIDS patients and the norm is not statistically significant(P>0.05).(2) Marital status from the point of view, in the quality of life factors on the bodily pain scale, a married person scores higher than the single person, with a statistical significance (P <0.05).(3) In the emotional function of the quality of life, Male scores higher than female in HIV/ AIDS patients, with a statistical significance (P<0.05).(4) The situation in the physical functioning is different among different CD4+HIV/AIDS patients. CD4+Group 2 scores higher than CD4+group 1, with a statistical significance (P<0.05).(5) Different educational levels of HIV/AIDS patients in mental health, middle school and higher educated person scores higher than the illiterate (P<0.05).(6) Two age groups in energy, the older group scores higher than the younger group, with a statistical significance (P<0.05).2. The characteristics of the HTV/AID patients on Medical Coping Modes(1) Different occupations, ages, marital statuses, education levels, CD4+groups in comparative study of several groups, have shown that in all the level of the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ), the difference among the groups is not statistically significant(P>0.05). (2) Different different genders of HIV/AIDS patients in the MCMQ on the yield to the score is different, female patients are more likely than men to yield, and with a statistical significance (P<0.05).3. The relationship between the quality of life and the coping style in HIV/AIDS patientsTo study the factors affecting the quality of life of the patients, we define the marital status, the number of symptoms, final diagnosis age, educational background, the number of family patients, medication age, CD4+physiological index, occupation, confrontation, avoidance and acceptance-resignation as independent variables for multi-factor stepwise regression. The multi-factor regression analysis on the quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients showed that:the number of family patients has a positive impact to the quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients (β=68.80). The acceptance-resignation, marital status and final diagnosis age have negative impacts to the quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients. In addition to, the greatest impact to the quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients is the acceptance-resignation (Beta=-0.41); the marital status, the number of family patients and the final diagnosis age are greater impacts on the quality of life (Beta=-0.41, Beta=0.28, Beta=-0.26).The number of AIDS symptoms, educational background, medication age, occupation and confrontation, avoidance affect the quality of life of patients with no significance(P>0.05).Conclusions1. The overall quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients is poor. Gender, age, marital status, education level, CD4+groups have major impacts to the quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients.2. The relationship between the age, marital status, education level, CD4+groups and Coping styles is poor, but different genders have different coping styles.3. Research shows that the main factors affecting the quality of life are the acceptance-resignation, marital status, the number of family patients and final diagnosis age. Among them, the greatest and negative impact to the quality of life is the acceptance-resignation in the coping styles. The research suggests that, in the process of improving the HIV/AIDS patient's quality of life, we should improve their coping styles as the main strategy, taking into account their living environment.
