“…This difference is statistically significant in the emotional and social domains only. Our findings showed that disclosure of parental HIV/AIDS status to the child affected the HRQOL of their children in the emotional, social and school domains (table 3) similar to that reported by Tao Xu et al (3) and Rotheram-Borus et al (6).…”

Objective: To study the health and health related quality of life of children living with HIV infected parents using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) ™ 4.0 Generic Core Scales. Methods: The study was conducted from January 2013 to October 2014 at S. N. Medical College, Agra , ART centre and pediatrics OPD. The Pedsql generic core version 4.0 was administered to 300 children in the age group of 8-18 years living with HIV infected parents and 300 controls who visited the pediatric OPD for minor ailments. Results: In this study it was found that children living with HIV infected parents had lower mean weight(26.89 vs 30.76 kg), height(1.09 vs 1.35metres) and body mass index (15.73 vs 17.16) compared with controls. The percentage of children not attending the school for more than six months was also significantly higher in the study group (32% vs 15% in controls. Their Pedsql scores were lower in emotional, social and school domains as compared with the controls. Conclusion: These findings are along expected lines, it is vital to establish a baseline of socioeconomic and physical parameters of such children in Indian context. This knowledge is vital to plan a meaningful policy intervention and to measure its efficacy. These findings can guide in the development of future interventions that promote care and support of children living in HIV/AIDS affected families. we feel more such studies are required in future to realise the big picture.

This article analyzes the efficacy of the Together for Empowerment Activities (TEA) intervention in decreasing depressive symptoms and improving social support for persons living with HIV (PLH) and their family members. A total of 79 families, consisting of 88 PLH and 79 family members, were recruited from Anhui province, China, and randomized to the TEA intervention (n = 38) or a control condition (n = 41). The intervention was delivered at three levels: 1) TEA Gathering (small group for PLH and family members); 2) TEA Time (home-based family activities with children that accompany each TEA Gathering); and 3) TEA Garden (community events that build social integration). Face-to-face interviews were administered at baseline, 3, and 6 months. Mixed effects regression models and kernel density estimation were used for data analysis. PLH and their family members in the intervention reported significant improvements in depressive symptoms, social support, and family functioning at the 3-month and 6-month follow-up assessments compared to those in the control condition. Heterogeneous intervention effects on social support and family functioning were indicated at the 6-month follow-up. The intervention could have various effect patterns for different subgroups within the intervention condition. This study provides preliminary data to support the feasibility and efficacy of a multilevel intervention.
