Abstract

 This study was based on the fact that people living with HIV/AIDS are about twice as likely to experience mental health disorders as the general population. HIV/AIDS is a stigmatized disease. Discrimination, stigmatization, and depression are the expected outcomes of HIV/AIDS, affecting life in families, communities, workplaces, schools, and health care settings. There is a need to know the various aspects of psychological problems faced by HIV/AIDS patients due to stigma in the society, along with their medical needs.

The present study was undertaken by the investigator with twin objectives: for identifying relationship between depression and stigma in patients with HIV/AIDS on the one hand and to seek their relationship with selected factors on the other, with a view to develop self-instructional module for “coping strategies for depression & stigma among HIV/AIDS patients”
 
Keywords: Coping Stretegies; Depression; Stigma; HIV/AIDS; Self Insturctional Module.
