- W1936558937 abstract "Background. HIV/AIDS and suicidal behaviour are major public health concerns. Objective. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between hopelessness, depression and suicidal ideation in HIV-‐infected persons. Methods. The sample consisted of all adult volunteers attending a VCT clinic at a university-‐affiliated state hospital. Suicidal ideation and depression were measured using BHS and BDI, respectively, at two intervals, viz. 72 hours and 6 weeks after HIV diagnosis. Results. Of the 156 patients who tested positive for HIV, 32 (20.5%) had a hopelessness score of 9 or above on BHS and 130 patients (82.8%) were depressed according to BDI at 72 hours after diagnosis. Of the 109 patients assessed 6 weeks after diagnosis, 32 (28.8%) had a hopelessness score >9 on BHS and 86 (78.2%) were depressed according to BDI. A moderately positive correlation at both time periods was found between hopelessness and depression. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed optimal sensitivity, indicating that the HIV-‐positive depressed patients were at risk for suicidal behaviour. Conclusion. The significant correlations between hopelessness, depression and suicidal ideation are important markers that should alert healthcare professionals to underlying suicide risks in HIV-‐positive patients. Early recognition of this and suicide prevention strategies should be incorporated into the treatment offered at VCT clinics." @default.
