Abstract

ABSTRACTMany older adults living with HIV face unique challenges, including comorbidities, loneliness, and isolation. This community-academic partnered study elicited viewpoints from older adults living with HIV about the characteristics of a digital environment ("Virtual Village") to combat against loneliness and isolation. We utilized Choice-Based Conjoint Analyses to determine preferred attributes of a Virtual Village. We also conducted focus groups and interviews with older adults living with HIV and used an iterative, data-driven approach to systematically identify emergent themes. Participants (N = 82) were aged 50-82 years and racially/ethnically diverse. The majority were men (78%), gay (66%), and lived with HIV for ≥15 years (83%). Cost was the factor that most drove participants' preference for joining a Virtual Village. Thematic concerns included lack of technological confidence, internet access, potential for harassment in digital environments, privacy, and preference for in-person interactions. Praises centered on convenience and making connections across geographic distances. Participants emphasized the need for purposive strategies to form a cohesive and supportive community for older adults living with HIV. A moderated environment was recommneded to create a safe, structured, and comfortable digital environment for older adults living with HIV. A Virtual Village should be viewed as a bridge to in-person interactions.

社区与学术界合作设计虚拟村,以满足感染艾滋病毒的老年人的需求。
摘要许多感染艾滋病病毒的老年人面临着独特的挑战,包括合并症、孤独和隔离。这项社区-学术合作研究征求了感染艾滋病病毒的老年人对数字环境("虚拟村")特性的看法,以消除孤独感和隔离感。我们利用基于选择的联合分析来确定虚拟村的首选属性。我们还与感染艾滋病病毒的老年人进行了焦点小组讨论和访谈,并采用迭代、数据驱动的方法系统地确定了新出现的主题。参与者(N = 82)年龄在 50-82 岁之间,具有种族/民族多样性。大多数为男性(78%)、同性恋者(66%),感染艾滋病病毒的时间≥15 年(83%)。成本是促使参与者选择加入虚拟村的最主要因素。关注的主题包括缺乏技术信心、互联网接入、在数字环境中受到骚扰的可能性、隐私以及对面对面互动的偏好。赞扬则集中在便利性和跨越地理距离建立联系方面。与会者强调,需要采取有目的的策略,为感染艾滋病毒的老年人建立一个有凝聚力和支持性的社区。建议为感染艾滋病毒的老年人创造一个安全、有序和舒适的数字环境。虚拟村应被视为人际互动的桥梁。
