| dc.description.abstract | Adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) are considered to be at
heightened risk for developing mental health problems in comparison to
their peers due to the burden of living with a stigmatized condition and
managing a chronic condition. Poorer mental health outcomes among ALHIV
are associated with lower rates of adherence to anti-retroviral therapy (ART).
It is necessary to improve mental wellness among ALHIV as this acts as a
buer against developing mental health problems which, if left untreated
can evolve into mental health disorders. Research on mental wellness
concepts among ALHIV is underdeveloped which is associated with a lack of
appropriate measures of mental wellness. We conducted an integrative review
to conceptualize mental wellness and consider the critical components for
measuring mental wellness in ALHIV. | en_US |
