Why is it important?
Studies indicate that the prevalence of stress, hopelessness, and depression among people living with HIV is nearly twice that of the general population. Improving hope is among the non-pharmacological interventions that can reduce stress, depression and cope among people living with HIV. There is limited information oh how people living with HIV perceive hope
Perspectives
This paper helps elaborate some other domains of hope different from the hope scales used globally that people living have, including the aspect of quality of health care services. The implementors need to know HIV care services quality are important for people living with HIV to remain hopeful and have the good quality of life if the services are not good and they are not improving then losing hope and despair occurs hindering adherence to care and treatment
