“…Such a promising benefit may be that a single intervention programme that incorporates the predictors together could potentially mitigate psychological distress and promote healthy functioning in the study population. Quantitative findings thus aligned with related studies that have demonstrated that these predictors are imperative for reducing psychological distress (Brion et al, 2014;Deko et al, 2016;Hulsbosch et al, 2020;Ristriyani et al, 2018). Further, the quantitative findings are a theoretical consensus with the social mentality theory of self-compassion, meaning in life theory, and relational frame theory that guided this study (Frankl, 1976;Gilbert, 2017;Hayes et al, 2001;Hermanto & Zuroff, 2016).…”

“…Therefore, the mixed-method design implies that the experiences of psychological distress place limitations on the normal functioning of pregnant women living with HIV, and the significant predictors in this study may help mitigate the experiences of psychological distress among them. Additionally, the findings from this mixed-method design are argued to have endorsed the data reported in other parts of the world given the consensus in findings with studies from the Netherlands (Hulsbosch et al, 2020), Indonesia (Ristriyani et al, 2018), Brazil (Bastos et al, 2019), and the United Kingdom (O'Donovan et al, 2015).…”

“…The predictor variables in the current study were self-compassion, meaning in life, and acceptance of illness. The predictors were selected because, in related studies where they were each compared against the psychological health of various subgroups of PLWHAs, there were often limited conclusions due to the small sample sizes of these studies (Deko et al, 2016;Ngocho et al, 2019;Ogueji & Okoloba, 2020;Ristriyani et al, 2018). Therefore, studying the predictor variables on psychological distress in a representative sample is significant for providing further data and informing a wider intervention against psychological distress.…”

“…Penedo et al ( 2003 ) showed that avoidant coping, which is the opposite of acceptance of illness, increased psychological distress in men living with HIV/AIDS. Ristriyani, Rachmawati, and Afiyanti ( 2018 ) found that acceptance of illness significantly determined status disclosure, distress, and coping among 235 women living with HIV/AIDS in Indonesia.…”

Objectives. To explore the experiences and predictors of psychological distress in pregnant women living with HIV. Design. A mixed-methods research design. Methods. A representative randomly sampled 840 (age range 22-46 years) HIVpositive pregnant women in Akwa Ibom, Benue, and Rivers States of Nigeria enrolled for the study. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires and in-depth interviews for 4 months and 3 weeks in 6 HIV treatment centres. Collected data were analysed using IBM SPSS statistics (v. 22.0) and thematic analysis. Results. The mean score on psychological distress was 17.07 AE 5.86. Multiple regression analysis found a significant joint prediction of meaning in life, self-compassion, and acceptance of illness on psychological distress, R = .64, R 2 = .41; F (3,828) = 186.18; p = .000, with 41% variance explained. Further, there was a significant independent prediction of each predictor at meaning in life (b = À.19, t = À5.08; p = .000), self-compassion (b = À.23, t = À5.59; p = .000), and acceptance of illness (b = À.30, t = À7.23; p = .000), with acceptance of illness exerting the greatest independent predictive impact. Socio-demographic variables (age, length of living with HIV, high-risk state, highest education attained, marital status, and religious affiliation) had no significant contribution to psychological distress. Qualitative analysis found 'anxious concerns', 'depressive reports, loneliness, and regrets', 'self-blame and guilt feelings', as the experiences of psychological distress, and these experiences were determined by respondents' socio-cultural contexts. Conclusion. These findings emphasize the importance of psychosocial care for HIVpositive pregnant women. Statement of Contribution What is already known about this subject? Pregnant women living with HIV are often psychologically distressed from being pregnant and living with HIV at the same time. Understanding the experiences and predictors of psychological distress can contribute to inform targeted interventions for this population. However, the possible experiences of and factors predicting psychological distress in this population remain scant.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the response of the elderly in dealing with chronic diseases. Methods: This study uses a descriptive phenomenology method. The population in this study were elderly who lived in Makassar City and had a chronic disease. This study illustrates the experience of 13 older adults aged 60-78 years who experience chronic disease. Results: A response felt by the elderly with chronic diseases for years, a series of grieving processes. The grieving process felt by the elderly is a psychological reaction from the suffering experienced due to symptoms and complaints of chronic illness. The series of grieving process reactions that are displayed are denial, anger, bargaining, despair, and resignation. Conclusion: The old experience with denial, anger, bargaining during chronic illness is normal. Also, the elderly could experience a desperate reaction during chronic illness due to the prolonged treatment process, and resignation reaction was a sign that the elderly were aware of the disease condition which they experienced. Recommendation: nursing intervention is needed related to grieving issues that include aspects of self, physical, social and spiritual for elderly with chronic illness.
