Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus patients often face stigma, discrimination, and psychological stress that can lead to a loss of enthusiasm for life. Few studies have specifically focused on how peers can revitalize their enthusiasm for life through therapeutic communication. This study aims to analyze the role of peers in fostering the enthusiasm for life of Human Immunodeficiency Virus patients at a Humanitarian Foundation in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach that focused on the supportive role of peers in fostering the enthusiasm for life of people living with HIV/AIDS. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with twelve informants, consisting of the foundation director, a program manager, three peer supporters, two counselors, a doctor, and five individuals living with HIV/AIDS. This was complemented by observations and documentation of the foundation's activities. The results of this study found that therapeutic communication conducted by peer supporters has a significant influence on increasing self-acceptance and enthusiasm for life in people living with HIV/AIDS. Eight main roles are carried out, namely an empathetic approach, a non-judgmental attitude, gradual communication through social media, face-to-face meetings, maintaining trust, using language appropriate to emotional conditions, providing emotional support, and therapeutic education. These findings are useful as a reference for health practitioners, social institutions, and the community to strengthen emotional support and therapeutic communication for people living with HIV/AIDS. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of the role of peer supporters in improving the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS.
