- Abstract
HIV infection is a globally recognized health issue, characterized by the invasion of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, leading to the development of AIDS. People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) encounter multifaceted challenges encompassing bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions. The pivotal role of self-acceptance emerges as a critical factor influencing the social interaction and overall quality of life for PLWHA. Despite its complexity, self-acceptance poses a significant barrier to decision-making and the formulation of health solutions for both PLWHA and healthcare professionals. This study aims to elucidate and analyze the intricacies of self-acceptance in PLWHA, employing Walker and Avant’s (2019) framework. The attributes of self-acceptance in PLWHA are delineated as attitudes of self-respect and respect for others. Through the examination of antecedents, consequences, cases analysis and empirical references, this research provides clarity on the concept. The definition derived from this study holds implications for clinical practices and future research, fostering a deeper understanding of the link between self-acceptance, social interaction, and the quality of life for PLWHA. Health officers are anticipated to leverage these insights to deliver comprehensive health services and advocate for the successful integration of self-acceptance, thereby enhancing the quality of life for PLWHA.
