本研究的目的是在24名HIV阳性青年（年龄16-24岁）样本中测试成人HIV文献中一致确定的变量作为依从性（自我效能，社会支持和心理困扰）的预测因素。自我效能感和心理困扰与依从性有显著相关，而社会支持与依从性无显著相关。服用药物的社会支持与自我效能相关。在回归分析中，自我效能感和心理困扰都独立相关的依从性，并共同解释了47%的方差。结果表明，心理健康干预措施，提高自我效能和减少心理困扰，但需要复制更大的样本的潜力。
The purpose of this study was to test variables consistently identified in the adult HIV literature as predictors of adherence (self-efficacy, social support, and psychological distress) in a sample of 24 HIV-positive youth (ages 16-24). Self-efficacy and psychological distress were significantly correlated with adherence but social support was not. Social support specific to taking medications was correlated with self-efficacy. In regression analysis, both self-efficacy and psychological distress were independently related to adherence and together accounted for 47% of the variance. Results suggest the potential of mental health interventions that boost self-efficacy and reduce psychological distress but require replication with larger samples.
