ABSTRACT:

Objectives

People living with HIV are aging. This study aimed to assess the factors influencing the requirements for geriatric nursing of older adults living with HIV (OALHIV).

Methods

Convenience sampling was used to conduct a survey on the 295 OALHIV aged over 50 in Luzhou, China.

Results

OALHIV had few needs for living care needs. Most people indicate a requirement for reducing medical costs. Regarding psychological comfort needs, disease privacy and confidentiality were the greatest requirement. Multivariable regression analyses found that social support had a positive influence on the requirements for geriatric nursing.

Conclusion

It is necessary to provide more social support for OALHIV. Most importantly, China should incorporate OALHIV into national pens
