| Abstract: |
Objective • To explore the influence of early psychological intervention on AIDS patients receiving hospital-led case management. Methods • Between December 2022 and May 2023, 100 cases of AIDS patients were gathered at the Fifth Hospital of Shijiazhuang. They were randomly assigned to either a psychological intervention group or a conventional intervention group. Each group consists of 50 individuals affected by AIDS. The conventional intervention group received care through traditional care models. In contrast, the psychological intervention group received immediate psychological support upon being screened positive for HIV antibodies, in addition to the conventional intervention group. The intervention period for both groups lasted 3 months, during which medication adherence, adverse emotional conditions, selfmanagement skills, and quality of life were compared. Results • During the intervention period, the psychological intervention group exhibited higher medication adherence than the conventional intervention group. Post-intervention, the levels of anxiety as assessed by the SAS and the degree of depression as evaluated by the SDS of the conventional intervention group were higher than those of the psychological intervention group. Additionally, the psychological intervention group demonstrated higher scores in 7 dimensions the total score on the self-management ability scale, and a higher score in the WHOQOL-HIV-BREF compared to the conventional intervention group. Conclusion • In the context of hospital-led case management for AIDS, early psychological intervention in patients has been shown to enhance medication adherence, reduce negative emotions, improve selfmanagement skills, and enhance overall quality of life.
