AB With improved medical treatments, children with human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) infection are surviving for many years and need to be
integrated into the mainstream of life. Caregivers need to be aware of
psychosocial issues of children living with HIV; however, minimal
research concerning children relates to psychosocial aspects of HIV
infection or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This article describes
the current state of psychosocial research related to pediatric HIV
infection and suggests directions for future research. A model for
organizing research on pediatric HIV infection comes from models
developed for other chronic childhood illnesses. Using an interactionist
model of chronic illness, we group existing research into studies
relating to the child's environment and family and those concerning the
child. Emerging areas of psychosocial research concerning resiliency and
coping, family concerns, and intervention research are described.
Additional researchable areas concerning psychosocial aspects of
pediatric HIV are suggested. Finally, barriers to conducting
psychosocial research with HIV-infected children are identified.
