Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Older adults living with HIV co-designed a virtual care model to improve access to geriatric care. The model prioritizes personalized communication, user-friendly technology, and culturally responsive practices for better health outcomes.
Area Of Science
- Geriatric Medicine
- HIV/AIDS Care
- Digital Health
Background
- Older adults living with HIV experience significant barriers in accessing specialized geriatric care.
- Virtual care models present a potential solution but require careful consideration of their limitations for this population.
Purpose Of The Study
- To co-design a culturally appropriate virtual care model specifically for older adults living with HIV.
- To ensure the model addresses the unique needs and preferences of this demographic.
Main Methods
- Employed a qualitative, experience-based co-design approach with 19 older adults living with HIV.
- Utilized interviews, questionnaires, focus groups, a workshop, and a world café format across three phases.
- Analyzed data through thematic content analysis to identify key themes and requirements.
Main Results
- Developed a virtual care model prototype addressing needs for personalized communication, simplified technology, and culturally responsive care.
- Highlighted participant priorities including privacy, flexible scheduling, and integrated support for HIV and aging conditions.
- The co-designed model aims to enhance inclusivity, accessibility, and patient-centeredness in virtual geriatric care.
Conclusions
- Successfully co-designed a virtual geriatric care model with direct input from older adults living with HIV.
- The model represents a promising, patient-centered approach to overcoming service gaps for this vulnerable group.
- Further research is recommended to evaluate the efficacy and implementation of this novel care model.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
