| description | Introduction
Housewives with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection may experience decreased quality of life, especially due to transmission of infection through their partners. In order to improve their health management and increase quality of life, confidence is needed. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of belief and quality of life of HIV-infected housewives.
Material and methods
A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted at the AIDS Commission, Tulungagung Regency, East Java, between August and November 2020. A total of 101 HIV-infected housewives were recruited by total sampling. They were requested to complete a belief and health-
related quality of life questionnaire to measure each variable. Data were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression model, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
Results
Good quality of life had a significant association with belief indicators (depression management, therapy management, medication adherence, managing symptoms, communication with healthcare providers, and obtaining support). The strongest association was found in those HIV-infected housewives who were able to well-manage feelings of depression and clinical symptoms (PR: 9.12; 95% CI: 0.46-26.68%; p = 0.001, and PR: 8.38; 95% CI: 0.68-32.46%; p = 0.005, respectively).
Conclusions
The quality of life of housewives with HIV infection is related to their self-confidence, especially management of feelings of depression and clinical symptoms. The results of the study are expected to improve quality of life of HIV-infected housewives, to be more confident and productive. |
