Abstract

People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) face various challenges, including physical health issues, social stigma, time constraints, and the need to balance physical and emotional well-being. These challenges often lead to emotional distress as PLWHA strive to maintain stability. This study aimed to analyze the emotion regulation strategies employed by PLWHA using the process model of emotion regulation, specifically examining the application of situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change, and response modulation in regulating emotions. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight key informants, five key informant companions, and one expert informant, as well as Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving four peer companions. Data triangulation, both by source and technique, was used to ensure validity, and thematic content analysis was applied for data interpretation. Findings revealed that PLWHA sought supportive environments to minimize negative emotions, used distraction strategies, and employed perspective-taking and emotional reassessment to manage emotions. However, response modulation produced mixed outcomes, with some informants engaged in maladaptive behaviors such as excessive coffee and cigarette consumption, alcohol use, and same-sex relationships, while others turned to religious practices. This study highlights that emotional instability occasionally leads to risky behaviors, including sexual activities aimed at intentionally spreading the virus. These results emphasize the urgent need for targeted emotional support interventions to improve the PLWHA’s well-being, helping them develop healthier emotion regulation strategies to strengthen resilience and quality of life.

Abstract

Background: People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) face numerous physical and psychological challenges that often lead to the emergence of negative emotional states. These emotional difficulties are frequently exacerbated by social stigma and discrimination, which can lead to diminished quality of life, decreased treatment adherence, and social withdrawal. Understanding how PLWHA manage their emotional responses is critical in developing supportive interventions. Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors that influence emotional regulation among PLWHA, with a focus on understanding the role of social and environmental support systems. By identifying key influences, the study seeks to inform strategies that foster better mental health outcomes in this vulnerable population. Methods: A qualitative case study approach was employed to obtain a deep understanding of the emotional experiences of PLWHA. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 1 key informant, 8 PLWHA informants, and 5 additional informants including close family members and peers. Furthermore, Focused Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted with 6 peer companions to enrich the data and validate individual findings. Thematic content analysis was used to identify recurring patterns and themes across the data. Result: Emotional regulation among PLWHA is significantly influenced by environmental acceptance and the availability of social support, particularly from family and peer companions. Positive social interactions contribute to increased motivation to pursue medical treatment and improve life satisfaction. On the other hand, ongoing stigma and discrimination were found to trigger negative emotional responses, including anxiety, shame, and social isolation. Conclusion: Emotional regulation in PLWHA is shaped by multiple interconnected factors, such as environmental support, traumatic past experiences, and physical changes associated with the illness. Interventions that focus on reducing societal stigma and enhancing the role of family and peer support are essential to promote resilience and positive emotional well-being among PLWHA.
