Abstract

In this study, focus groups were conducted with 16 rural women living with AIDS (WLA) from Andhra Pradesh, India, who had previously participated in a clinical trial wherein 68 WLA were randomized into either an Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA)-Life (AL) intervention or a usual care program. Findings are discussed in terms of (a) mental health issues, (b) perceived stressors, (c) individual resources for coping with mental health issues, and (d) role of ASHA support in coping with mental health issues. These findings highlight the salience of mental health issues in the lives of WLA and the role played by ASHA in addressing some of these issues. The discussion section makes a case for increased emphasis on mental health care in future community-based interventions for this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

A community-based participatory research study was conducted using focus groups with 39 women living with AIDS (WLA) in the rural setting of Andhra Pradesh, India. In addition, three nurses, two physicians, and five reproductive health accredited social health activists (ASHAs) took part in focus groups. The WLA offered insight into the benefits of HIV-trained ASHAs including emotional support, assistance with travel to health care providers and antiretroviral therapy medication adherence. Health care providers also identified benefits of using HIV-trained ASHAs and suggested modalities for how to train these individuals. These findings will contribute to the design of a future program of care involving HIV-trained ASHAs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
