Abstract

Introduction: Until now, the rejection experienced by people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is still widely felt. This rejection can cause negative feelings in PLWHA but can be prevented by applying self-compassion. Self-compassion is the ability to be compassionate, caring, and understanding of oneself when experiencing an unpleasant situation, for example when suffering from an illness. Individuals with self-compassion usually have a desire to improve their well-being, one of which is by undergoing treatment, in order to avoid worsening the condition. Quality of life refers to how humans measure the “goodness” of various aspects of their lives. Research on self-compassion and its relationship to quality of life in people living with HIV/AIDS was conducted because similar studies had never been conducted in Surakarta before. Method: This study was an observational analytic study with cross sectional study design, which was conducted on July 4, 2022 in KDS Solo plus Surakarta. The subjects were 50 people living with HIV/AIDS who were included in the inclusion criteria. Samples were taken using probability sampling technique of simple random sampling. The dependent variable is quality of life and the independent variable is self-compassion. Quality of life data were obtained from filling out the WHOQOL-HIV Bref questionnaire and self-compassion data were obtained from filling out the Indonesian version of the SCS questionnaire. The data will then be calculated using SPSS software and analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Result: There is a significant correlation with sufficient correlation strength and a positive direction between self-compassion and quality of life level in PLWHIV in KDS Solo plus Surakarta. Conclusion: There is a correlation between self-compassion and quality of life in People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in KDS Solo plus Surakarta.
