Abstract

The burden of avoidable illness, accidents and impairments can be estimated by understanding the quality of life, and it can also offer important new insights into the connections between risk factors and the quality of life. This study assessed the quality of life of people living with HIV during the COVID-19 pandemic which would have caused substantial difficulties for such individuals. Data were collected using WHOQOL-BREF SCALE and FGD Semi-Structured Questionnaire. People living with HIV enrolled under TANSACS were included. Chi-square analysis was used to evaluate the association between the demographic variables and the domains of the quality of life. The quality of life was determined using 4 domains. The average score for each domain includes physical health, 54.39, psychological, 44.85, social relationships, 48.48 and environment 57.69. The average overall score for the quality of life was 51.35. The occupation variable is significant with all the domains; physical health (P = 0.030), psychological (P = 0.046), social relationships (P = 0.027) and environment (P = 0.023) and the gender variable is significant with physical health (P = 0.026), social relationship (P = 0.007) domains. COVID-19 worsened quality of life for HIV patients, impacting healthcare, support, jobs, and stigma. The employment status also significantly impacted.

COVID 时代加入 TANSACS 的艾滋病毒感染者的生活质量--一项混合方法研究。
通过了解生活质量,可以估算出可避免的疾病、事故和损伤所造成的负担,还可以为了解风险因素与生活质量之间的联系提供重要的新见解。这项研究评估了 COVID-19 大流行期间艾滋病毒感染者的生活质量。研究使用 WHOQOL-BREF SCALE 和 FGD 半结构式问卷收集数据。在 TANSACS 系统中登记的艾滋病毒感染者也包括在内。采用卡方分析法评估人口统计学变量与生活质量领域之间的关联。生活质量由 4 个领域决定。每个领域的平均得分包括身体健康 54.39 分、心理 44.85 分、社会关系 48.48 分和环境 57.69 分。生活质量的平均总分为 51.35。职业变量与所有领域都有显著关系:身体健康(P = 0.030)、心理(P = 0.046)、社会关系(P = 0.027)和环境(P = 0.023),性别变量与身体健康(P = 0.026)和社会关系(P = 0.007)领域有显著关系。COVID-19 恶化了艾滋病患者的生活质量,影响了医疗保健、支持、工作和耻辱感。就业状况也受到严重影响。
