남성 HIV 감염인의 에이즈 환자 간병경험 = Experience of People Living with HIV Working as Caregivers for AIDS Patients

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate in-depth and to understand the experience of people living with HIV who work as caregivers for patients with AIDS. Methods: Data were collected from December 2010 to April 2011 through focus group and in-depth interviews. Ten people with HIV who work as caregivers for patients with AIDS participated in the research. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi`s method (1978). Results: The results showed the important themes to be ``feelings of sympathy``, ``burden of caregiving``. ``identifying one`s own self-worth` and ``hoping for a meaningful future``. People with HIV experienced deep empathy with patients with AIDS, and, even though they suffered physical and emotional distress from the caregiving process, they felt a sense of self-worth and found their existence connected with the world. Furthermore, they were taking more active care of themselves and hoping for a meaningful future. Conclusion: For successful social adaptation of people with HIV currently in job-seeking activities, various vocational rehabilitation services are necessary. The results of this study could be used in developing effective social support services for people living with HIV attempting workforcere-entry.
