Abstract

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the human immune system, leading to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS emerges after the HIV virus has attacked the immune system for five to ten years or more in individuals affected by HIV. One of the factors related to HIV/AIDS is quality of life, which is essential for the well-being of People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Peer group support is one of the factors influencing quality of life. This study aims to explore the relationship between Peer Group Support and Quality of Life among individuals with HIV/AIDS in the city of Bandung. The research was conducted in July 2023, with a sample size of 49 respondents selected using purposive sampling technique. Data was analyzed using the chi-square test, resulting in a p-value of 0.03, indicating a significant relationship between peer group support and quality of life among individuals with HIV/AIDS. Peer support groups can impact the quality of life of PLWHA, as they require external factors to enhance their quality of life, one of which is derived from peer group support. Further research is expected to analyze various variables to identify factors influencing the quality of life of individuals with HIV/AIDS.

Abstract

Psychological Well-Being describes individual functioning through self-acceptance. At every stage of human development, there will be changes both physically and psychologically that require a process of self-adjustment. Women approaching menopause are considered as women heading towards premature aging. During the phase before menopause a woman will feel the signs of menopause which vary depending on the amount of estrogen levels in the body. One of the prominent psychological complaints during menopause is loneliness. A subjective experience experienced by individuals when hopes and expectations regarding an interpersonal relationship do not match reality. This experience is often felt by women approaching menopause. The study aims to analyse the relationship between loneliness and psychological well being. The research method used is correlational with a cross sectional approach in 100 female populations approaching menopause. The sample technique used was purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 and RYFF'S Pyschological Well-Being. Statistical analysis used with Pearson correlation test (Product Moment). The independent variable in this research is loneliness, while the dependent variable is the psychological well being of women approaching menopause. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between Lonelinees and Psycological well being of women before menopause. Women before menopause who have a high level of psychological well being, almost all are in a low level of loneliness.
