The study will be conducted in 3 phases.~Phase 1: The PI conducted a secondary qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews to further illuminate the sociocultural and family context of HIV+ Chinese women. The data were obtained from three previous projects conducted in China from 2005 to 2011.~Phase 2: The PI developed and adapted a theory-driven, culturally sensitive and feasible intervention to improve the quality of life and clinical outcomes of HIV+ Chinese women and their families.~Phase 3: The PI conducted a feasibility, compliance, and acceptability study for a self- and family-management intervention with HIV+ women and of their family members.
This project is to develop a culturally sensitive and feasible self- and family-management intervention that will assist HIV+ Chinese women and their families to manage the illness and improve quality of life and clinical outcomes.
