介绍
艾滋病毒的诊断，就像任何其他慢性疾病一样，改变了家庭的动态。虽然整个家庭都受到影响，但通常只有一名成员是病人的主要照顾者。感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的儿童和青少年需要根据其生理、心理和社会需要得到照顾，需要负责任的照顾者保持适当的身心健康。
目的
描述在Pedro Kouri热带医学研究所被诊断患有艾滋病毒/艾滋病的古巴儿童和青少年的主要照顾者的一般心理健康特征。
方法
2009年11月至2010年3月进行了描述性研究。26名照顾者符合纳入标准，13名参与。对每个照顾者的心理健康进行了心理评估，包括外部评估和自我报告的与身体或心理问题相关的因素。临床访谈和观察，精神科检查和各种心理测试。一个简单的描述性分析的照顾者的特点，定性信息和测试结果。
结果
大多数照顾者是妇女，她们自己也感染了艾滋病毒/艾滋病，没有工作，也没有伴侣。他们表现出焦虑症状，但没有临床精神病诊断。研究小组报告了对家庭功能和伴侣关系的不满，以及与艾滋病毒和就业前景不佳有关的问题。
结论
研究的照顾者描述了受艾滋病毒感染影响的复杂的内部和人际生活动态。通过结合客观和主观因素对他们的心理健康状况进行评估，揭示了一个复杂的现实，表明需要对照顾者的保健采取更全面和有效的办法，将对身心健康的关注结合起来。
INTRODUCTION
An HIV diagnosis, like that of any another chronic illness, alters family dynamics. Although the whole family is affected, usually only one member is the primary caregiver of the sick person. Children and adolescents with HIV/AIDS need care according to their physical, psychological and social needs, requiring responsible caregivers who maintain adequate physical and mental health.
OBJECTIVE
To describe general mental health characteristics of primary caregivers of Cuban children and adolescents from across the country diagnosed with HIV/AIDS at the Pedro Kourí Tropical Medicine Institute.
METHODS
A descriptive study was carried out from November 2009 through March 2010. Twenty-six caregivers met inclusion criteria and 13 participated. A psychological assessment was made of each caregiver's mental health, including both externally evaluated and self reported factors associated with physical or psychological problems. Clinical interview and observation, psychiatric examination and various psychological tests were used. A simple descriptive analysis of caregiver characteristics, qualitative information and test results was made.
RESULTS
Most caregivers were women, infected with HIV/AIDS themselves, unemployed and without a partner. They presented symptoms of anxiety but no clinical psychiatric diagnoses. The study group reported dissatisfaction with family functioning and partner relationships, as well as problems related to HIV and poor employment prospects.
CONCLUSIONS
Caregivers studied described complex intra- and interpersonal life dynamics influenced by their HIV infection. Their mental health status, evaluated through a combination of objective and subjective factors reveals a complex reality, indicating the need for a more comprehensive and efficient approach to caregivers' health care, integrating attention to both physical and mental health.
