|
This study has attempted to make a program intervention through the cognitive behavioral therapy in order to obtain an elevation of the self-esteem and of the infected with HIV/AIDS, and used AB Plan to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. All of the three clients who had agreed to participate in this study completed the 5 week basic-line course and the 5 week intervention course. The multiple- measurement principle was utilized to elevate the validity of the results. The collected data throughout the two courses were analyzed with both visual and statistical methods. The visual analysis, using a tendency line and a tendency index, shows that all of the three clients had come to increase their self-esteem and physical function. The effectiveness of the intervention was also significantly revealed from the three clients for whom the analysis by the 3 standard deviation band approach, which is statistical analysis, was utilized. It means that the cognitive behavioral therapy has contributed to the synergy between the elevation of the self-esteem and the increase of the physical function of the infected with HIV/AIDS together, causing much better results. This exploratory study may take a special place as it is providing the infected with HIV/AIDS with a guide for life while studies on the infected with HIV/AIDS or experimentation plans are lacking in Korea. This study also shows that a variety of social services for the infected with HIV/AIDS, who suffer from bias and discrimination in this country, are needed, and that the more effective the services for the infected with HIV/AIDS, the better the quality of their lives.
