“…Our scoping review findings are consistent with those of Muessig et al (2017) and Cooper et al (2017), in which internet-based interventions for PLWHA showed to have a significant impact on health outcomes. Additionally, our results are in line with the literature supporting the effectiveness of peer support interventions for PLWHA[19][20][21][22][23]25,26,[34][35][36][37]39,40,[42][43][44][45].…”

“…Specifically, in PLWHA, peer support interventions have shown to properly address internalized stigma [26,[34][35][36][37], reduce depressive symptomatology [25] and stress [19][20][21][22][23], enhance the quality of life and wellness [38] and improve treatment adherence [36,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45] In fact, peer support interventions are recommended in official health guidelines such as the Center for Disease and Prevention [46] and the British HIV Association [47].…”

Peer support interventions for people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) are widely effective, but their associated time and material costs for the recipient and the health system make them reachable for only a small proportion of PLWHA. Internet-based interventions are an effective alternative for delivering psychosocial interventions for PLWHA as they are more accessible and offer anonymity.Currently, no reviews are focusing on internet-based interventions with peer support components. This study aims to map the existing literature on psychosocial interventions for PLWHA based on peer support and delivered through the internet. We conducted a systematic scoping review of academic literature following PRISMA guidelines. Nine articles met our criteria, and we summarized them using a narrative synthesis method. We found internet-based peer support interventions for PLWHA are feasible and acceptable to participants and healthcare workers. We conclude that internet-based peer support interventions for PLWHA are a promising alternative to those in person.

“…Another limitation is about sample is not a clear representation of the small PLHIV population. This study shows that although peer groups have not been able to significantly reduce the stigma of society, having a peer group can increase the confidence of HIV / AIDS patients with the support of peer groups of HIV / AIDS patients (Chime et al, 2019).…”

The development of nursing, especially related to the nursing intervention approach, is running so fast. This can be seen from the use of peer group support in nursing interventions in individual humans. The purpose of this literature is to find the impact of implementing nursing interventions using a peer group support approach. This literature review method uses JBI and Prisma on 120 articles taken from journal databases, namely Scopus, PubMed and ScienceDirect. From the articles analyzed, it was found that the application of peer groups can improve individual abilities both in psychological and behavioral aspects. The application of the peer group approach is able to be one of the approaches in the world of nursing in carrying out nursing actions today.

“…As in our study, support groups for both patients and caregivers are recommended as an integral part of PLWHA care and treatment programs, these groups serve to address the psychosocial needs of patients, who usually feel alone, isolated from society and with a strong perceived stigma [33]. In these groups they can share their emotions and experiences with others, share recommendations about their treatment, it is recommended that these groups should be coordinated by professionals specialized in HIV and in a fully clinical setting [34,35].…”

Introduction. The participation of psychologists in the therapeutic care of people living with HIV (PLWHA) is not clear, since their functions are only focused on accompaniment and not on pharmacological and therapeutic adherence, and care is only provided in case the patient requires it and is not part of the treatment scheme for HIV control. Objectives. To describe the professional characteristics of psychologists who provide services to PLWHA in specialized public treatment centers, and to determine which variables are linked to professional backgrounds that are associated with good clinical practice. Methods. Through an exploratory, cross-sectional, and descriptive study, an online survey was applied to inquire about the professional profile, current practices and clinical activities performed. Results. Most psychologists have several years of experience working with PLWHA, however, almost half of the psychology staff do not have any formal certification, nor have they received training in either psychopathology or HIV issues in the last year. Having clinical certification and training in substance use and mental health was identified as increasing the likelihood of performing most activities related to best practices. Discussion and Conclusions. The staff has experience in HIV, in addition to continuing education courses, although there is a need for an ongoing training and certification plan to homogenize the practices of the entire staff of psychologists.
