“…In the HIV literature, although many studies use the Ways of Coping or the COPE (e.g., Ashton et al, 2005; Blaney et al, 2004; Carels, Baucom, Leone, & Rigney, 1998; Deschamps et al, 2004; Folkman, Chesney, Pollack, & Coates, 1993), others have developed scales specific to coping with HIV (e.g., Moneyham et al, 1998; Murphy, Rotheram-Borus, & Marelich, 2003). Even though these scales were developed specifically to measure coping with HIV, they have subscales that are similar to the Ways of Coping and the COPE.…”

Knowledge of effective ways of coping with HIV is critical to help individuals with HIV maintain the best possible psychological and physical well-being. The purpose of the present article is to determine, through meta-analysis, the strength of the evidence regarding 2 questions: (a) Which types of coping are related to psychological and physical well-being among people with HIV? and (b) Do contextual (pre?post introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapies [HAART]; time since diagnosis), measurement (HIV-related event vs. generic prompts for coping measurement), or individual (gender) variables affect the extent to which coping is related to physical and psychological well-being? The authors' analysis demonstrates that Direct Action and Positive Reappraisal were consistently associated with better outcomes in people coping with HIV across affective, health behavior, and physical health categories. In contrast, disengagement forms of coping, such as Behavioral Disengagement and Use of Alcohol or Drugs to Cope, were consistently associated with poorer outcomes. The findings also indicate that in some cases, coping effectiveness was dependent on contextual factors, including time since diagnosis and the advent of HAART.

“…Low-income racial minority people with a history of illicit drug use are disproportionately affected by constellations of factors that contribute to their resource needs and their psychological distress (Carels, Baucom, & Leone, 1998). Such factors include poverty and unemployment, illicit drug use, racial discrimination, crime and violence, social stigma, and HIV/AIDS and other chronic or life-threatening illnesses (Dohrenwend & Dohrenwend, 1969;Katon & Sullivan, 1990;Kosten & Rounsaville, 1986;Lyketsos et al, 1996;Regier et al, 1990;Vilhjalmsson, 1998).…”

“…In fact, only two heterosexual men and 15 women were included in the analysis; therefore, any assumptions about gender or sexual orientation based on these results are tentative at best. Previous researchers have found that sexual orientation influences the association between perceived social support and psychological well-being (Carels et al, 1998) but little is known about how sexual orientation or gender might affect the association for available social support.…”

The effect of perceived and actual social support on the mental health of HIV-positive persons

The purpose of this paper is to compare the ways in which perceived and actual social support affect the mental health of gay men, straight or bisexual men, and women living with HIV/AIDS. Participants included 125 women and 232 men with an HIV-positive or AIDS diagnosis involved in three larger investigations of HIV, disclosure and mental health. Results suggest each sub-group experienced perceived social support as significantly predictive of better mental health while the effect of actual social support was minimal.
