Abstract

HIV/AIDS remains one of the significant global health challenges that require long-term management for viral suppression. Antiretroviral therapy is considered the cornerstone of treatment. However, while ART has proved effective, there is limited data regarding the effectiveness of peer support on viral load outcomes. The paper, therefore, seeks to describe changes in viral load among PLHIV who received peer support over six months. We used a descriptive quantitative approach in this study; the data source was obtained from secondary data by the Ministry of Health through its SITRUS system and monitoring ART treatment in PLHIV patients. A total of 58 participants with ART treatment in health facilities with PSS were used in this study. Data were collected from several healthcare facilities and then analyzed descriptively to review the distribution of changes in viral loading within six months of treatment. Results showed that the success of viral suppression varied depending on the kind of ART treatment. However, the viral load values were lower across the board due to peer support. Therefore, peer support influenced adherence to therapy by participants irrespective of individual personalities and personal traits. Despite various treatment response rates, the general trend of the findings in this study was that peer support contributed to PLHIV's adherence to their regimes. This can be interpreted into generally better health conditions, including less viral load as a critical attribute essential for low levels of HIV transmission and the procreation of slow-onset diseases. These findings emphasize how important peer support is to increase ART adherence and viral suppression, which is key in the control of HIV according to public health strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the application of behaviorism theory in improving students' discipline and basic cognitive abilities in science learning in elementary schools. The study focuses on stimulus-response-based learning strategies, particularly through repeated practice (drill), direct reinforcement, and providing rapid and specific feedback. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method. Data were collected through searching scientific documents obtained from various sources such as Tandfonline, Routledge, ERIC, Google Scholar, Academia, and national repositories, with the keywords "behaviorism in elementary education", "reinforcement of positive behavior in the classroom", and "basic cognition in science learning". A total of 14 relevant documents were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman & Saldana model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity testing was carried out using the criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability according to Moleong. The results of the study indicate that the behaviorist approach can be applied effectively to form disciplined learning habits and strengthen students' understanding of basic science concepts. With appropriate reinforcement, students show increased attention, responsibility, and active involvement in the learning process. These findings recommend the use of contextual behaviorist principles in science learning in elementary schools to shape positive and constructive learning behavior.
