目标.我们研究了父母感染或死于艾滋病的青少年中社会支持与心理和行为结果之间的关系。家庭(感染艾滋病毒的父母和他们的青少年子女)被随机分配到应对技能干预组或标准护理组。干预结束后,对家长和青少年进行为期2年的评估。有更多的社会支持提供者的青少年抑郁水平显着降低,更少的行为问题;青少年有更多的负面影响,从榜样报告更多的行为问题。抑郁、多重问题行为和品行问题的减少与更好的社会支持显著相关。我们的研究结果强调了社会支持与受艾滋病毒/艾滋病影响的青少年的心理和行为结果之间的复杂关系。未来的预防方案必须侧重于增加社会支持,以减少受艾滋病毒/艾滋病影响的青少年的负面结果,以及减少负面榜样影响的必要性。
Objectives. We examined the associations between social support and mental and behavioral outcomes among adolescents whose parents were infected with or died of HIVAIDS.Methods. Families (parents who were HIV infected and their adolescent children) were randomly assigned to a coping skills intervention or a standard care group. After completing the intervention, the parents and adolescents were assessed for 2 years.Results. Adolescents who had more social support providers reported significantly lower levels of depression and fewer conduct problems; adolescents who had more negative influence from role models reported more behavior problems. Reductions in depression, multiple problem behaviors, and conduct problems were significantly associated with better social support.Conclusions. Our findings underscore the complex relations between social support and mental and behavioral outcomes among adolescents affected by HIV/AIDS. Future prevention programs must focus on increasing social support to reduce negative outcomes among adolescents affected by HIV/AIDS as well as the need to reduce influence from negative role models.
