SELF-EFFICACY MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (MSM) PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS

Abstract

People living with HIV/AIDS who have a high level of self-efficacy could enhance their psychosocial structure and lead productive lives. The purpose of this study was to identify the self-efficacy description. The descriptive cross-sectional research design was used, with a total sample of 142 man sex men. The findings revealed that this group was able to manage pressure and mood, manage therapy and medication adherence, manage symptoms, communicate with healthcare providers, receive support from others, and manage fatigue. To improve the health status of this group, they require confidence to tell health providers about their actual issues, ensuring that the interventions are effective for them.
