Coleman and Ball (2007) studied perceived barriers to condom use during sexual encounters among HIV-infected men who were African-American, middle aged or older, and living in the USA. The biggest barriers to condom use in this group were having fewer symptoms and being single. The researchers concluded that in order to increase condom use, HIV prevention efforts in the USA and abroad should be customized for this particular population. Disclosure of a person’s HIV diagnosis to others also may have an impact on how the individual responds to treatment recommendations.
Theory and nursing science 29 A theory is a statement of knowledge about a topic based on the available evidence. For example, evidence supports the notion that turning patients frequently and keeping them in a dry bed reduces the risk of skin breakdown. The theory addresses patients at risk for skin breakdown in the context of an environment where there is a specific illness condition, and also addresses the potential for a nursing intervention. Nursing theory is different from other kinds of theory in that it focuses on nursing actions or interventions.
Evidence-based guidelines for symptom management have been outlined (Holzemer 2002). Miles et al. (2003), who have worked with low-income African-American women, studied another approach to managing the symptoms of HIV: a cognitive reframing protocol that provided information about the disease and self-care symptom management. Such women, they found, delay seeking medical care and present with advanced disease. The researchers applied the protocol in women’s homes in an effort to overcome the stigma that often is associated with an HIV diagnosis and that can stifle participation in such a study.
