Abstract

Introduction: Adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) treatment is one of the most critical factors in the successful management of HIV patients. Family support significantly influences treatment adherence, as family members are closest to the patient and are expected to provide motivation and monitor adherence to ARVs. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family support and ARV adherence among HIV patients. Methods: This study employed an analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population comprised HIV patients undergoing treatment in the Treatment Support Care Room (PDP) at Bhayangkara Indramayu Hospital, with an average monthly visit rate of 375 patients. A sample of 190 respondents was selected using the Z formula. The sampling technique employed purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Results: The findings revealed that 97 respondents (51.1%) reported good family support, and 146 respondents (76.8%) were compliant with taking ARV medication. The statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.006 (α < 0.05). Conclusion: There is a relationship between family support and adherence to ARV medication in HIV patients. It is recommended for nurses to educate families to provide support to HIV patients in ARV treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: While new HIV infections among key populations have declined, infections among women traditionally considered low-risk, particularly housewives, have increased. The problem that arises in housewives with HIV is the tendency to keep their disease status secret, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment, which leads to an increase in HIV transmission. However, factors related to HIV incidence in housewives have not been sufficiently explored. This study aims to analyze factors associated with HIV/AIDS incidence among housewives.Methods: This study used a sequential explanatory mixed methods design. A total of 323 respondents were involved in the quantitative study, while the qualitative study involved 6 housewives and 4 triangulation informants, including family members, nurses, counselors, and non-governmental organization leaders. The sampling technique used was purposive, based on the inclusion criteria. This study was conducted at a hospital in Indramayu Regency. Data analysis used the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS).Results: Structural model analysis showed that predisposing factors and sexual behavior have a significant direct effect on HIV incidence, while precipitating factors have an indirect effect through sexual behavior.Conclusion: HIV incidence among housewives is influenced by predisposing factors, precipitating factors, and risky sexual behavior. HIV incidence among housewives is not only influenced by individual behavior, but also by social, economic, cultural, and gender relations within the household. Therefore, HIV prevention must be carried out comprehensively, taking these aspects into account.
