“…We found that older PLWHA with higher HIV stigma and lower social support have lower hope levels. Hope was also found to be positively associated with social support in other studies ( 24 , 25 ). Older PLWHA have limited social networks, and in the cultural context of family responsibilities in China, family support is an important resource for older adults, who rely heavily on their families for psychosocial, financial, and caregiving support ( 6 ).…”

BackgroundIn China, little is known about the hope level of older people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).1 This study was to examine the hope level of older PLWHA in China and identify related factors.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Sichuan province in China among older PLWHA.2 A standardized self-report questionnaire, the Herth Hope Index, was adopted. Multiple linear regression was used to identify factors influencing hope level. p-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant.ResultsThere were 314 participants with an average age of 64.5 (SD ± 8.7). Most of the participants were males (72.6%), primary school and below (65.9%), rural household registration (58.6%) and married (64.3%). More than half of the older adults had pension insurance, had a monthly income of more than RMB 1,000 and considered themselves to be in good health. About 80% confirmed being diagnosed for more than a year and disclosed their HIV status to family and friends. The majority of the population had low medium social support (79%). More than 80% had moderate and severe HIV stigma. Many older PLWHA had medium and high levels of hope, with an average score of 34.31 (SD ± 4.85). Multiple linear regression showed that having pension insurance (β = 1.337, p = 0.015), longer diagnosis (β = 0.497, p = 0.031), better self-reported health (β = 1.416, p<0.001) and higher levels of social support (β = 2.222, p < 0.001) were positively associated with higher levels of hope. HIV stigma (β = −1.265, p < 0.001) was negatively correlated with hope level.ConclusionThe hope level of older PLWHA is good, but there is still room for improvement, and its hope is related to multiple factors. Therefore, the AIDS-related healthcare sector should pay special attention to the hope of older PLWHA, help them to improve their health, provide financial assistance and social aid to those with financial difficulties, and take measures to reduce HIV stigma, improve family support for the older adults, and guide the older adults to adopt a positive approach to life.

Background Cancer is a significant public health concern in the healthcare landscape. Amidst this challenging journey, the levels of hope, spiritual well-being, and resilience in patients with cancer have emerged as pivotal factors influencing the healing process. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hope and spiritual well-being in cancer patients and the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between hope and spiritual well-being levels. Methods This study is a descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational study. The study included 152 cancer patients undergoing treatment. A patient information form, the 12-item Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Spiritual Well-Being (FACIT-SP-12) Scale, the Dispositional Hope Scale, and the Brief Resilience Scale were used to collect study data. Results Positive and meaningful correlations were observed between the Dispositional Hope Scale and FACIT-SP-12, Brief Resilience Scale, and FACIT-SP-12 (r = 0.390, P < .05; r = 0.246, P < .05). Mediation analysis indicated that Brief Resilience Scale scores partially mediated the relationship between the Dispositional Hope Scale and FACIT-SP-12 Scale scores; the indirect effect of hope on spiritual well-being through resilience was 0.351 (P < .05). Conclusion The study has indicated a direct relationship between hope and spiritual well-being, and resilience partially mediated the relationship between hope and spiritual well-being. Implications for Practice It is significant to provide psychosocial care to cancer patients to increase their resilience levels and to support their hope and spiritual well-being.
