Nurses provide vital psychological support for patients with HIV/AIDS through various interventions. This review confirms these psychosocial approaches significantly improve patients' quality of life and overall health outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Psychology
- Public Health
Background:
- Nurses traditionally provide psychological support to patients with HIV/AIDS.
- Existing literature shows diverse nursing interventions, but no comprehensive summary is available.
- A systematic review is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these psychosocial interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review interventional studies on the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions delivered by nurses to HIV/AIDS patients.
- To synthesize findings on the impact of nursing-led psychological support on patient outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review following Cochrane's handbook and PRISMA guidelines.
- Searched databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Scopus, WHO) from January 2009 to December 2022.
- Included nine studies, using Cochrane data extraction and modified Jadad scale for quality assessment.
Main Results:
- Interventions included educational programs, motivational interviewing, case management, and follow-up care.
- These interventions significantly improved quality of life, disease management, adherence, and mental health.
- Positive effects were observed across physical, psychological, behavioral, and laboratory health indicators.
Conclusions:
- Psychosocial interventions by nurses positively impact multiple health domains in HIV/AIDS patients.
- Diverse nursing interventions, even those purely psychological, yield significant physical, mental, and behavioral benefits.
- This review highlights the crucial role of nursing in comprehensive HIV/AIDS patient care.
