ABSTRAK HIV merupakan masalah kesehatan global dan penyebab kematian terbesar didunia. Sampai saat ini tidak ada obat yang bisa menyembuhkannya, yang baru muncul yaitu terapi dengan pemberian antiretroviral yang dapat menurunkan angka kematian dan meningkatkan umur harapan hidup. Klien HIV (+) yang menggunakan ART akan merasakan dampak dari penggunaan ART sedangkan pada klien HIV (+) yang tidak menggunakan ART akan merasakan dampak dari penurunan kondisi kesehatannya akibat HIV yang akan menyertainya sepanjang hidup. Kondisi tersebut akan berpengaruh terhadap kualitas hidupnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan dimensi kualitas hidup klien HIV (+) yang menggunakan dan tidak menggunakan ART. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif komparatif. Teknik sampling menggunakan Convenience Sampling. Sampel yang diteliti terdiri dari  klien HIV (+) yang mengggunakan ART sebanyak 42 orang dan klien HIV (+) yang tidak menggunakan ART sebanyak 41 orang. Hasil penelitian dianalisis secara deskriptif dengan tabel ditribusi frekuensi, mean dan standar deviasiny, dilanjutkan dengan perhitungan statistik menggunakan Uji F, dan dilanjutkan dengan uji beda menggunakan Uji t. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa dimensi kesehatan fisik, dimensi hubungan sosial dan dimensi lingkungan klien HIV (+) yang menggunakan ART lebih baik dibandingkan klien HIV (+) yang tidak menggunakan ART. Sedangkan untuk dimensi psikologisnya tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan.  Dengan mengetahui perbedaan kualitas hidup klien HIV (+) yang menggunakan dan tidak menggunakan ART,  diharapkan dapat menjadi bahan masukan bagi perawat dan lembaga swadaya masyarakat yang bergerak dalam pencegahan dan penangggulangan HIV dalam meningkatkan mutu pelayanannya sehingga mampu membantu mempertahankan dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup Klien HIV (+) baik yang menggunakan ataupun tidak menggunakan ART seoptimal mungkin. Kata kunci: Antiretroviral Therapy, HIV, & Kualitas Hidup  ABSTRACT HIV is a global public health issues and caused large number of death. There is no cure that can treat or kill the disease, but only antiretroviral drugs are available to reduce mortality and improve their life expectancy. HIV-infected persons who receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) will have impact on their quality of life as well as those who are not receiving such treatment yet. The purpose of this study was to compare domain of quality of life of people who receiving ART with those without ART. This is a comparative cross sectional study with convenience sampling. A total of 84 people living with HIV, including 42 who receiving ART and 42 were not under ART yet. Quality of life was measure using WHOQOL-HIV in brief version. Data were analyzed using independent t test and F test. The results of this study showed that people who receiving ART had significantly higher score of physical, social, and environmental domains of quality of life as compare to those without ART. However, we did not found statistically significant for psychological dimension between two groups. The results of this study can be considered for health care professional to improve quality of care for people living with HIV in Indonesia. Keywords: Antiretroviral therapy, HIV & Quality of life.

AbstractBackgroundQuality of life is an important element of surveillance in people living with HIV/AIDS. WHO has developed an HIV specific quality of life tool (WHOQOLHIV-Bref) for assessing Quality of life of HIV individuals. This tool takes into account the different cultural variations that exist worldwide and hence enable assessment of the quality of life across different cultures. Despite its preliminary sound validity and reliability from several studies, the developers recommend it to be validated in different cultures to fully assess its psychometric properties before its adaptation.ObjectivesTo evaluate the validity and reliability of WHOQOLHIV-Bref questionnaire in Tanzanian culture among people living with HIV/AIDS.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study of 103 participants interviewed using a Kiswahili WHOQOLHIV-BREF questionnaire. Of, these participants 47 participants were enrolled to repeat an interview two weeks later. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were analyzed. Validity was assessed through analysis of translational, concurrent, convergent and discriminant validity while the model performance was assessed by Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 40.5 ± 9.702 years. Translation validity was assessed through the WHO translational protocol and was found to be good. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the Kiswahili version of WHOQOL-HIV BREF were excellent: Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.89-0.90, and ICC of 0.92 p < 0.01 respectively. Concurrent valid was excellent, significant correlations were noted across all domains (correlation coefficient r > 0.3) except for physical and spiritual domains. Confirmatory factor analysis found that the six domain produced an acceptable fit to the data. The convergent and divergent validities were satisfactory.ConclusionKiswahili WHOQOLHIV-Bref was found to be reliable and valid questionnaire among Tanzanian people living with HIV/AIDS. These findings provide support for the use of this tool in assessing the quality of life in Tanzania.

Background: There is evidence that Quality of Life (QoL) of People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) has a significant role in ART retention, treatment adherence, and survival. As a result, QoL is becoming increasingly important for policy- makers, program implementers, and researchers. However, factors associated with QoL, in a culturally diverse country like Cameroon are unknown. Objective: We aimed to assess the QoL of PLHIV on ART and assess the extent to which physical, psychosocial, environ- mental, and spiritual factors drive QoL. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 394 PLHIV aged >21 in North-West Cameroon from April to July 2019. Data were collected using WHO-QOL BREF questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, bivariate, and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed. Results: Majority (34.5%) of participants were in the age range of 41-50, with 73% females. The average QoL of the re- spondents was “good” with mean score of 3.57 on 5 and 71.4% agreed to have satisfactory QoL. Bivariate regression anal- yses revealed that all six proposed predictors were significantly associated with QoL. Psychological factors made the greatest impact (β = 0.213; p<0.003), followed by physical factors (β = 0.19; p<0.001). Conclusion: PLHIV fairly agreed to have good QoL. The QoL was driven by mainly psychological and physical factors and not level of independence. However, the mean score perceptions for the investigated domains were low. Mental health ser- vices should consider these predictors when designing strategies to improve the QoL of PLHIV. While this study provides useful insights, other possible drivers of QoL among PLHIV should be investigated. Keywords: Quality of life and associated factors; HIV patients; antiretroviral therapy; Cameroon.
