    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACT The study examined the influence of stigma consciousness (a belief or feeling that one will be negatively stereotyped by others) and coping strategies (social support, information and problem) on the CD4 counts (measure of immune system) of People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Anambra state. 430 PLWHA (men=148 & women=282), age (M=35.73, SD=8.4) years served as participants.

According to Carver (1998, as cited in Chukwudozie, 2008) such differences in perception could be among the strongest determinants of how individuals fare in situations of stressful or life-threatening experience, for example living with HIV/AIDS. These may determine how PLWHA fare with regards to their health as measured by ... Continue reading---

Research is needed in this direction. Of course, this is the interest of this study.   Other coping strategies Other coping strategies for living with HIV/AIDS may include information coping and problem coping. Evidence has shown that people who tend to actively seek information in their environment are more likely to come to their doctor with more minor c ... Continue reading---

Four-way analysis of variance is appropriate statistic for a complex design study that adopts 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 - factorial design.   In the second analysis, analysis of covariate (ANCOVA) was used and treatment was entered as a covariate. Hinkle, Wiersma and Jurs (1998) stated two assumptions and their alternative for using ANCOVA as statistical control. The conditions are that relationship between the dependent variable and indepe ... Continue reading---

Similarly, stigma consciousness was significant in influencing CD4 counts of PLWHA, F(1,413) = 36.83, P = .001. Also, social support produced significant real effect on CD4 counts of PLWHA, F(1,413) = 28.35, P =.001. Information coping was also significant, ... Continue reading---

         

      CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]Furthermore, this study found that there was strong evidence to support that problem coping exerts influence on immunity of people living with HIV/AIDS. Those people living with HIV/AIDS that focus on problem tended towards having more immunity when their CD4 counts were compared with those who avoid problem. The implication is that focusing on problem is beneficial to people living with HIV/AIDS. People living with HIV/AIDS should focus on problem by following plans of actions as provide ...
