Abstract

Virus humane imunodeficijencije (HIV) uzročnik je kronične progresivne bolesti koja uništava imunološki sustav zaražene osobe i traje sve do njene smrti. Ovaj rad daje pregled epidemiološke slike HIV-a u Hrvatskoj i fokusira se na poteškoće kod suočavanja s dijagnozom u okviru mentalnog zdravlja i na prilagodbu života osoba s HIV-om. Iako je informiranost o HIV-u bolja nego u počecima pojave infekcije, u Hrvatskoj, ali i diljem svijeta, još su uvijek sveprisutne stigma, diskriminacija i socijalna isključenost osoba koje žive s HIV-om. U što lakšim strategijama suočavanja i prilagodbi na reorganizaciju života, veliki značaj ima psihosocijalna podrška. Psihosocijalna podrška osobama koje žive s HIV-om pomaže u povećanju njihovih sposobnosti da odgovore na izazove bolesti s kojima se svakodnevno suočavaju. U radu se opisuju aktivnosti psihosocijalne podrške te uloga socijalnog radnika i organizacija civilnog društva u pružanju psihosocijalne podrške i suzbijanju stigme i diskriminacije prema osobama koje žive s HIV-om.

Abstract (english)

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the cause of a chronic progressive disease which destroys the immune system of an infected person and lasts until his or her death. This paper provides an overview of the epidemiological picture of HIV in Croatia and focuses on the difficulties in coping with a diagnosis in scope of mental health and adjusting to the life of a person with HIV. Although HIV awareness is more enhanced than at the onset of the infection, in Croatia, but also around the world, stigmas, discrimination and social exclusion of people living with HIV are still ubiquitous. For the easiest possible way for coping skills and adjusting to the reorganization of life, psychosocial support is of great importance. Psychosocial support for people living with HIV helps to increase their abilities in responding to the challenges of the disease they face on a daily basis. The paper describes the activities of psychosocial support and the role of a social worker and civil society organizations in providing psychosocial support and combating stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV.
