Abstract
- Parental HIV disclosure, where parents living with HIV (PLH) communicate their diagnosis to their children, is crucial for family communication. This study assessed intervention effects of a parental HIV disclosure intervention on psychosocial factors, focusing on child's age impact. Data from a randomized controlled trial involving 791 PLH in China were analyzed at baseline (W1), 6-month (W2), and 12-month follow-ups (W3). The study measured effects on psychosocial factors (HIV disclosure knowledge, outcome expectancy, action self-efficacy, and action planning) using the proportional latent change score method. Among PLH with children aged 6–9, the intervention yielded significant intervention effects on knowledge (<italic>β</italic> = 0.190, <italic>p</italic> = .004), action self-efficacy (<italic>β</italic> = 0.342, <italic>p</italic> = .001), and action planning (<italic>β</italic> = 0.389, <italic>p</italic> < .001) from W1 to W2. For PLH with children aged 10-12, the intervention significantly enhanced action self-efficacy (<italic>β</italic> = 0.162, <italic>p</italic> = .003) and action planning (<italic>β</italic> = 0.367, <italic>p</italic> = .001) from W1 to W2, but there was a reduction in perceived benefits (<italic>β</italic> = −0.175, <italic>p</italic> = 0.024) from W2 to W3. For PLH with children aged 13–15, significant intervention effects were observed on action planning, both from W1 to W2 (<italic>β</italic> = 0.251, <italic>p</italic> = .045) and from W2 to W3 (<italic>β</italic> = 0.321, <italic>p</italic> < .001). These findings highlight the importance of tailoring interventions to consider psychosocial factors and children's developmental stages to enhance HIV disclosure practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
