Complex problems, care demands, and quality of life among people living with HIV in the antiretroviral era in Indonesia

People living with HIV (PLWH) suffer from physical and psychological distress that palliative care could alleviate. Our cross-sectional study identified HIV-related problems and demands for palliative care at different disease stages, and their interactions with quality of life (QOL) in 215 PLWH from a referral hospital and an AIDS non-government organization in Indonesia. A brief survey of demographic information, the Bahasa version of Problems and Needs of Palliative Care, and the WHOQOL- HIV BREF (Cronbach ’s alpha = .89), were used for data collection.
