IMPLEMENTASI BIMBINGAN DAN KONSELING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN SELF ESTEEM PASIEN PENYAKIT TERMINAL DI KELOMPOK DUKUNGAN SEBAYA (KDS) RSUP DR. KARIADI SEMARANG

HIV / AIDS patients experience complex problems both physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Psychosocial problems experienced include depression, anxiety, despair, and worry, and affect the destruction of social life such as isolating themselves and getting stigmatized. These various problems make HIV / AIDS patients feel useless and worthless. In dealing with psychological problems such as low self-esteem, HIV / AIDS patients desperately need social support from both partners, parents, children, friends, counselors and health teams. Unfortunately during this time the expected social support, rarely HIV / AIDS patients were found, including from their own families. To facilitate these needs, hospitals that become a reference center for HIV / AIDS patients form Peer Support Groups (PSG). PSG activities include group guidance and peer counseling for HIV / AIDS patients. These activities provide opportunities for HIV / AIDS patients to increase knowledge about their illness, exchange experiences with each other, even help each other solve problems. The various positive benefits of peer support groups in turn can increase the self-esteem of HIV / AIDS patients. ****Pasien HIV/AIDS mengalami problem yang kompleks baik fisik, psikologis, sosial, dan spiritual. Problem psikososial yang dialami antara lain depresi, cemas, putus asa, dan khawatir, serta berpengaruh pada rusaknya kehidupan sosial seperti mengisolasikan diri dan mendapat stigmatisasi. Berbagai masalah tersebut membuat ODHA merasa tidak berguna dan tidak berharga. Dalam menghadapi problem psikologis seperti rendahnya harga diri, ODHA sangat membutuhkan dukungan sosial baik dari pasangan, orang tua, anak, teman, konselor dan tim kesehatan. Sayangnya selama ini dukungan sosial yang diharapkan tersebut, jarang ODHA didapatkan termasuk dari keluarganya sendiri. Untuk memfasilitasi kebutuhan tersebut, rumah sakit yang menjadi pusat rujukan bagi ODHA membentuk Kelompok Dukungan Sebaya (KDS). Kegiatan KDS diantaranya bimbingan kelompok dan konseling sebaya bagi ODHA. Kegiatan tersebut memberikan peluang bagi ODHA untuk menambah pengetahuan tentang sakitnya, bertukar pengalaman dengan sesamanya, bahkan saling membantu memecahkan masalah. Berbagai manfaat positif KDS tersebut pada gilirannya mampu meningkatkan harga diri ODHA.

Hiv Aids

Housewives with HIV/AIDS are faced with internal problems because the virus continues to invade their bodies and external problems such as caring for their husbands and children infected with HIV/AIDS, stigma and discrimination, maintaining family integrity and even taking responsibility for economic problems when the husband dies. They need social support. One of the most important sources of social support is peers, especially for those who have not done open status to the family. Peer support can be obtained through Peer Support Groups (KDS) through counseling, education, and information. This qualitative research using the methodology approach tries to explore the social support that is obtained by housewives with HIV/AIDS through peer support groups that they participate in General Hospital Dr. Kariadi Semarang. Research involving 15 informants shows that peer support groups can provide social support for them, including information support about the treatment and development of HIV/AIDS; emotional support, self-esteem support, and network support such as intensive communication and strong friendships; and real assistance: venture capital assistance, business skills, and assistance in accessing treatment

The population was HIV-positive patients with antiretroviral therapy. Data collection conducted through medical records and interview to patients. Results: Out of a total of 89 respondents, 66.29% were males and 71.91% were aged between 26-45 years. We found significant correlations for diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, opportunistic infections, time since HIV diagnosis, duration of ARV therapy, social support, modes of transport, sex, age, and marital status with the quality of life. Multivariate analysis obtained by each variable showed the strongest association with the quality of life was time since diagnosis, social support and duration of ARV therapy. Conclusion: The quality of life was better for those who have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS ≥ 32 months, with social support, and who have been undergoing antiretroviral therapy ≥ 29 months. Improved counseling in the early days of ARV therapy is necessary to always maintain the treatment and provide support for their social life.

Network Intervention

The aim of this study was to assess outcomes from a multilevel social network intervention to promote the health of Black men. Through a community–academic collaboration and using a participatory research approach, we implemented the intervention over 4 years in a 110-block area of an urban neighborhood. The project aimed to implement a neighborhood peer outreach and leadership network to strengthen social support of Black men and increase community and family engagement. Intervention activities included three 12-month intergenerational peer support groups ( N = 46), a door-to-door outreach campaign ( N = 186), media and communication efforts, and a community partner network. Primary outcomes for the peer support groups were measured using a pretest/posttest cohort design and included social support, perceived stress, social capital, and global self-esteem. Primary outcomes for the door-to-door outreach campaign were measured using a repeated cross-sectional design and included a sense of community, neighborhood social interaction, perceived neighborhood control, and self-rated health status. Significant findings from the peer support groups included an increase in social support overall ( p = .027), driven by improvements in guidance, reliable alliance, and reassurance of worth; and an improvement in perceived stress ( p = .047). Significant findings from the door-to-door outreach campaign included increases in neighborhood social interaction ( p < .0001) and perceived neighborhood control ( p = .036). This project provides evidence that a participatory approach to planning and delivering a health promotion intervention aimed at creating positive social spaces and enhancing social connections can result in significant outcomes and successful engagement of Black men.

Professional Perspective

AbstractHealth care and health outcomes for adolescent mothers and their children may be a result of a complex interaction between socioeconomic, psychological, and familial factors. To examine a health professional perspective on the important issues in providing health care for adolescent mothers, transcripts of seventeen interviews with health professionals were analysed. Social support was considered an important aspect influencing the health of adolescent mothers and their children. This included family support, peer support and organisational support. Opportunities for health professionals to promote good social support for young mothers include role modelling supportive care and supporting adolescents' decision making, providing referrals to peer support groups, and understanding barriers to accessing organisational support. The best outcome for adolescent mothers is when their role as mother is supported by the family and wider support network.

Peer Social Support

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) emerging adults often seek support from their peers if they lack support from their family of origin. We predicted that peer social support would moderate the link between negative family relationships and psychosocial adjustment, such that in the context of family rejection, experiencing more peer support would predict lower levels of anxiety, depression, and internalized homonegativity (IH) and higher self-esteem. Sixty-two (27 females) LGB individuals (ages 17–27, M = 21.34 years, SD = 2.65) reported on their families’ attitudes toward homosexuality, experiences of family victimization, peer social support, anxiety and depression symptoms, IH, and self-esteem. Results showed that peer social support moderated the link between negative family attitudes and anxiety and also moderated the link between family victimization and depression. The moderating effects suggest that having a supportive peer group may protect against mental health problems for LGB emerging adults who lack support from their family of origin.
