“…Parents reported a broad range of competing needs as well. Our study and other studies have indicated that HIV-infected parents may have only limited social support from families and friends [32][33][34][35] ; by comparison, previous studies conducted with physically ill and general samples found that only 2% of the people had no close friends or relatives. 36,37 About 20% of the children lived with neither the respondent nor the other parent.…”

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine the number, characteristics, and living situations of children of HIV-infected adults. METHODS: Interviews were conducted in 1996 and early 1997 with a nationally representative probability sample of 2864 adults receiving health care for HIV within the contiguous United States. RESULTS: Twenty-eight percent of infected adults in care had children. Women were more likely than men to have children (60% vs 18%) and to live with them (76% vs 34%). Twenty-one percent of parents had been hospitalized during the previous 6 months, and 10% had probably been drug dependent in the previous year. Parents continued to have children after being diagnosed with HIV: 12% of all women conceived and bore their youngest child after diagnosis, and another 10% conceived before but gave birth after diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical and support services for people affected by the HIV epidemic should have a family focus.

“…Seven studies had sample size over 1000 [16, 17, 19–23], while four studies had sample size below 100 [24–27]. Except for one study only collecting data from caregivers [28], all the other studies collected data from children, among which seven studies recruited caregivers as an additional source of information [12, 24, 29–33]. …”

“…All identified records (n = 288) were initially screened to exclude citations that did not provide quantitative data for children affected by HIV/AIDS (n =124), or that did not focus on psychological well-being of children (n = 71) (e.g., studies on children’s physical development, nutrition, school enrollment, and caregivers’ health), or that did not include a desired comparison group (n = 45). We also hand-searched the reference sections of the previous literature reviews and other relevant articles [3, 7–9] and retrieved three additional articles [10–12]. The search resulted in 51 eligible articles reporting data from a total of 30 studies.…”

Impact of Parental HIV/AIDS on Children’s Psychological Well-Being: A Systematic Review of Global Literature

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review examines the global literature regarding the impact of parental HIV/AIDS on children’s psychological well-being. Fifty one articles reporting quantitative data from a total of 30 studies were retrieved and reviewed. Findings were mixed but tended to show that AIDS orphans and vulnerable children had poorer psychological well-being in comparison with children from HIV-free families or children orphaned by other causes. Limited longitudinal studies suggested a negative effect of parental HIV on children’s psychological well-being in an early stage of parental HIV-related illness and such effects persisted through the course of parental illness and after parental death. HIV-related stressful life events, stigma, and poverty were risk factors that might aggravate the negative impact of parental HIV/AIDS on children. Individual coping skills, trusting relationship with caregivers and social support were suggested to protect children against the negative effects of parental HIV/AIDS. This review underlines the vulnerability of children affected by HIV/AIDS. Culturally and developmentally appropriate evidence-based interventions are urgently needed to promote the psychological well-being of children affected by HIV/AIDS.

“…For example, it appears that adolescents whose mothers are HIV-infected tend to exhibit higher rates of externalizing behaviors, whereas younger children of seropositive parents may evidence higher rates of internalizing problems (Esposito et al, 1999;Forsyth et al, 1996;Forehand et al, 1997;Forehand et al, 1998;Forehand et al, 2002), of externalizing problems (Esposito et al, 1999;Forehand et al, 1998), or of both (Bauman et al, 2002;Forehand et al, 1998;Esposito et al, 1999). It is unclear, however, whether this pattern is due to sampling characteristics (i.e., mothers vs. fathers; child age), methodological differences (i.e., failing to measure multiple domains of child functioning and/or measuring them in different ways and from different sources), or some combination Child Psychosocial Adjustment 5 thereof.…”

“…Similarly, studies that have investigated whether parental HIV/AIDS is associated with youth adjustment problems seem to suggest that non-infected children living in families affected by parental HIV/AIDS demonstrate higher rates of maladjustment relative to children living in families not coping with parental illness (Bauman, Camacho, Silver, Hudis, & Draimin, 2002;Esposito et al, 1999;Forehand et al, 1997;Forehand Child Psychosocial Adjustment 4 et al, 1998;Forsyth et al, 1996;Lester, Stein, & Bursch, 2003;Rotheram-Borus & Stein, 1999).…”

Child adjustment and parenting were examined in 23 9-through 16-year-old youth from families affected by maternal HIV infection and 20 same-age peers whose mothers were not infected.Children whose mothers were seropositive reported significantly more externalizing problems.Infected mothers reported less age-appropriate supervision/monitoring relative to non-infected mothers. Better mother-child relationship quality and less impairment in parental supervision/monitoring of age-appropriate youth behaviors were associated with fewer externalizing difficulties among the HIV-positive group only. Similarly, only among HIV-infected mothers was refraining from engaging in inconsistent disciplinary tactics associated with lower reports of internalizing and externalizing problems. These data highlight the promise of programs targeting parenting skills to prevent or ameliorate child difficulties.
