本文研究了印度南部艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者生活质量(QOL)的性别差异,使用当地验证版本的WHO艾滋病毒生活质量量表(WHOQOL- HIV 120)。参与者(N=109)是参与队列研究的HIV 1 C分支感染的男性和女性。在CD 4计数或抗逆转录病毒治疗的使用方面没有性别差异。在生活质量的29个方面中,男性在积极感受、性活动、经济资源和交通方面的生活质量显著高于女性,而女性在宽恕和责备方面的生活质量显著高于男性。在生活质量的六个领域中,男性在环境领域的生活质量更好,而女性在精神/宗教和个人信仰领域的得分更高。了解这些性别差异可能提供有用的信息,定制干预措施,以提高艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的生活质量。
This paper examined gender differences in Quality of Life (QOL) among people living with HIV/AIDS in South India using the locally validated version of the WHO Quality of Life Instrument for HIV (WHOQOL- HIV 120). Participants (N=109) were men and women with HIV1 Clade C infection participating in a cohort study. There was no gender difference in CD4 counts or use of antiretroviral therapy. Of the 29 facets of QOL, men reported significantly higher QOL in the following facets- positive feeling, sexual activity, financial resources and transport, while women reported significantly higher QOL on the forgiveness and blame facet. Of the six domains of QOL, men reported better quality of life in the environmental domain while women had higher scores on the spirituality/religion and personal beliefs domain. Understanding these gender differences may provide potentially useful information for tailoring interventions to enhance QOL among people infected with HIV/AIDS.
