Abstract
"Introduction: People living with HIV (PLWH) often experience a plethora of severe mental health problems. Positive psychology's theory of sense of benefit offers valuable perspectives and pathways to enhance the mental well-being of PLWH, thereby promoting their overall physical and mental health. However, the current qualitative evidence on PLWH's sense of benefit is limited in terms of systematicity and generalizability.
Objectives:The aim of this review is to synthesize qualitative evidence of the benefit finding of PLWH to provides new insight and reference for the development of positive psychology for PLWH and a theoretical basis for future research.
Methods: Computerized searches of Chinese and English databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL (EBSCO), Web of Science Core Collection, ProQuest, CNKI, and Wanfang were conducted to collect qualitative studies on benefit findings in PLWH with a search time frame of January 1, 1996 - May 19, 2023 The methodological quality of the included literature was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research (2020 Edition) in Australia, the original findings were integrated using a pooled integration approach, and the paper was written in accordance with the guidelines for improving the transparency of synthetic reporting of qualitative research.
Results: A total of 13 eligible qualitative studies were included, and three integrative outcomes were identified: PLWH have improved health literacy; PLWH have improved quality of interpersonal relationships; and PLWH have personal growth.
Conclusions: PLWH should be educated and inspired to discover the benefits of the disease, encouraged to engage in interpersonal interactions, and interventions should be made to promote a sense of disease benefit among PLWH, thereby improving their health outcomes."
