The medicine that kept infants born with HIV alive for years is now
threatening their existence in adolescence. Antiretroviral
medications decrease in efficacy and boost the virus if not
administered perfectly. Attachment issues due to maternal
depression, addiction, and death, are rampant in these adolescents.
Attachment trauma contributes to depression and depression prompts
nonadherence. In this book, Dr. Erin Leonard shows how using a
mixed methodology approach, this study analyzed adherence,
attachment histories, and level of depression in a randomly
selected sample population of 20 perinatally HIV-infected
adolescents aged 14 to 18. The purpose of this investigation was to
examine the relationship between the qualities of attachment,
depression and medication adherence in adolescents with HIV-1
infection. Early disruptions in attachment relationships are
significantly correlated with depression among adolescents with
perinatally acquired HIV infection. Attachment relationship
disruptions and depression are significantly related to high rates
of nonadherence to antiretroviral medication regimens during
adolescence. This study evaluates the quality of attachment
relationships, symptoms of depression, and medication adherence.
Family history, demographic information, and health information
were also examined. Psychological factors that were related to
medication adherence and nonadherence were identified and analyzed
in order to derive an understanding of the dynamics that deter an
adolescent from adherence. This is an important book for
collections in Adolescent Studies, Public Health, Psychology, and
HIV studies.
