DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Spirituality is an important resource used to maintain psychological well-being, physical health, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among women with HIV/AIDS. Few studies have examined the relationships among spirituality, health, and HRQOL in women with HIV. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between spiritual well-being (SWB), depression, immune status, and HRQOL and to examine the contribution of spirituality to HRQOL beyond what is explained by psychological and physiological factors among women with HIV. A secondary data analysis will be conducted on data from 2 NIH-funded behavioral trials conducted at an Infectious Disease clinic. A sample of approximately 125 HIV+ women will be included in the analysis of SWB, depression, CD4 cell count, and HRQOL scores. Hypotheses will be tested using Pearson correlation statistics and hierarchical regression analysis. Focus group sessions and individual interviews about HIV-positive women's spiritual experience will also be conducted with 12-16 women. Interview data will be content-analyzed for emerging themes. The results of this study may facilitate future research on holistic interventions to promote the health and HRQOL of women with HIV.

描述（由申请人提供）：精神性是一种重要的资源，用于维持艾滋病毒/艾滋病女性的心理健康，身体健康和与健康相关的生活质量（HRQOL）。很少有研究研究艾滋病毒女性的灵性，健康和HRQOL之间的关系。这项研究的目的是研究精神福祉（SWB），抑郁，免疫地位和HRQOL之间的关系，并检查精神对HRQOL的贡献，超出了HIV女性的心理和生理因素所解释的贡献。将对来自传染病诊所进行的2项NIH资助的行为试验的数据进行二次数据分析。大约125名HIV+女性的样本将包括在SWB，抑郁，CD4细胞计数和HRQOL评分的分析中。假设将使用Pearson相关统计和分层回归分析进行检验。焦点小组会议和有关艾滋病毒阳性女性精神经验的个人访谈也将与12-16名女性一起进行。面试数据将用于新兴主题的内容分析。这项研究的结果可能会促进对整体干预措施的未来研究，以促进艾滋病毒妇女的健康和HRQOL。
