应对，社会支持和生活质量（QOL）进行了检查，在120个HIV+的人（平均年龄= 37）。样本来自多伦多的门诊诊所和救助中心：29%患有艾滋病，35%有艾滋病毒症状，35%无症状。资料收集自自填问卷。受访者有良好的社会支持水平，并使用各种应对策略。他们的行为和主观生活质量指标得分略低于平均水平。疾病相关的措施表明，他们的诊断有一个几乎中性的影响生活质量，并显示了几个领域的生活质量受到积极影响的数据，男性受试者（n = 107）进行了分析，使用分层块回归每个生活质量的措施。收入、情感性社会支持、问题导向应对和感知导向应对与生活质量呈正相关。情感取向应对与社会支持呈负相关，与症状严重程度无相关性。亲密的朋友提供了大多数类型的支持。虽然受访者对总体支持表示高度满意，但他们表示需要更多的情感支持。尽管参与者相对健康，受过良好教育，但失业率很高。
Coping, social support and quality of life (QOL) were examined in 120 HIV+ people (mean age = 37). The sample came from ambulatory clinics and drop-in centres in Toronto: 29% had AIDS, 35% were HIV symptomatic, and 35% were asymptomatic. Information was gathered from self-administered questionnaires. Respondents had good levels of social support and used a variety of coping strategies. Their scores on the behavioural and subjective measures of QOL were somewhat below average. The illness-related measure indicated that their diagnosis had an almost neutral effect on QOL and showed several areas where QOL had been positively affected Data from male subjects only (n = 107) were analysed using a hierarchical block regression for each QOL measure. Income, emotional social support, and problern-oriented and perception-oriented coping were positively related to QOL. Tangible social support and emotion-oriented coping were negatively related and symptom severity was not related at all. Close friends provided most types of support. Although respondents indicated high levels of satisfaction with support generally, they expressed a need for more emotional support. Unemployment was high despite participants being relatively healthy and well-educated.
