NURSING--SELF-CARE AND HIV DISEASE

虽然自我保健是一个中心概念，在卫生保健是众所周知的， 日常自我照顾的做法，特别是当个人正在处理 一种威胁生命的慢性疾病(Dodd，1988）。艾滋病毒/艾滋病是一种 以流行病的比例发生的威胁生命的慢性疾病 在美国了解个人的自我护理实践， 他们在艾滋病毒疾病谱中的支持者将加强 护理工作。本项目的研究目的是 拓宽人们对自我保健轨迹的理解， 四种不同程度的艾滋病毒疾病;处于危险中，轻度，中度和重度。 该项目研究部分的具体目标是：（1） 描述四组男性中每一组的自我护理经验， 他们的其他支持者（处于危险中，轻度，中度和重度）;（2）比较 四组男性中每一组的自我护理经验， （3）描述一组妇女的自我护理经验， 艾滋病患者与支持他们的他人;（4）自我保健比较 艾滋病毒感染妇女的自我保健经验 从男性艾滋病患者;（S）描述的总体轨迹 自我护理;（6）描述自我护理管理的症状困扰，使用 以疲劳为原型;（7）开展理论护理 支持艾滋病毒自我护理的干预措施。 该项目培训部分的总体目的是加强 研究者作为独立研究者和学者的发展。 该项目培训部分的具体目标是：（1） 扩展研究者的研究方法和计算机知识 应用数据分析;（2）检查疲劳及其 评估和管理;（3）检查当前的自我保健知识， 艾滋病患者的护理;（4）完善自我护理工具 活动报告量表，并建立其心理测量学特性;（5） 以理论为基础的干预措施， 艾滋病。为了实现这些目标，研究人员将与 艾滋病、自我保健、定性研究领域的知名专家 方法和分析，研究设计和方法，症状困扰， 疲劳、仪器和临床研究。

Although self-care is a central concept in health care is known about the daily practices of self-care, particularly when individuals are coping with a chronic, life-threatening illness.(Dodd, 1988). HIV disease/AIDS is a chronic life-threatening illness that is occurring in epidemic proportions in the United States. Understanding self-care practices of individuals and their supportive others across the spectrum of HIV disease will strengthen nursing efforts. The research purpose of this proposed project is to broaden the understanding of the trajectory of self-care among people at four different levels of HIV disease; At Risk, Mild, Moderate and Severe. The specific aims of the research component of this project are to: (1) describe the experience of self-care for each of four groups of men and their supportive others (At Risk, Mild, Moderate, and Severe); (2) Compare the self-care experiences of each of the four groups of men with one another; (3) describe the experience of self-care of a group of women with HIV disease, and their supportive others; (4) compare the self-care experience of women with HIV with the trajectory of self-care developed from men with HIV disease; (S) describe the overall trajectory of self-care; (6) describe self-care management of symptom distress, using fatigue as a prototype; (7) develop theoretically based nursing interventions that support self-care in HIV. The overall purpose of the training component of this project is to augment the investigator's development as an independent researcher and scholar. The specific aims of the training component of this project are to: (1) expand the investigator's knowledge of research methods and computer application for data analysis; (2) examine knowledge of fatigue and its assessment and management; (3) examine current knowledge of self-care and nursing for persons with HIV disease; (4) refine the instrument, Self-Care Activities Report Scale, and establish its psychometric properties; (5) pilottest theory based interventions for enhancing self-care practices in HIV disease. To achieve these aims the investigator will work with well known experts in the area of HIV disease, self-care, qualitative research methods and analysis, research design and methods, symptom distress and fatigue, instrumentation, and clinical research.
