Abstract

The resilience process plays a crucial role in the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), enabling them to adapt positively and avoid various risks, including substance abuse and risky sexual behavior. Preventing exposure to these risks is closely associated with improvements in their overall health. The objective of this study is to describe resilience among people living with HIV/AIDS at the Victory Plus Foundation in Yogyakarta. This study employs a qualitative case study approach, conducted at the Victory Plus Foundation in Yogyakarta. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with informants, namely people living with HIV/AIDS. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, presentation, and verification. The results of the qualitative analysis indicate a high level of resilience among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) at the Victory Plus Foundation in Yogyakarta. The participants' children and spiritual influences were identified as the primary factors enabling PLWHA to persevere and recover in the face of stigma and discrimination. Participants were able to regulate their emotions and withstand the effects of stigma and discrimination. The resilience process in PLWHA was also very good, enabling them to endure difficult periods and maintain positive emotional regulation.
