Healthcare Experiences and Needs of Older Adults Living With HIV: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of clinical nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo explore the healthcare experiences and needs of older adults living with HIV in Sweden.
designA phenomenological study using qualitative thematic analysis.
methodsData were gathered through semistructured qualitative interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. A purposive sample of individuals ageing and living with HIV was recruited for this study.
resultsA total of 22 participants aged 65 years and older, with a mean age of 75 years, participated in the study. Living with HIV meant a need to rely on consistent healthcare and treatment over the course of one's lifetime. The experiences of older adults were described under four themes: relying on access to health care, desiring involvement and shared decision-making, the importance of trust and confidentiality and experiences of stigma in healthcare visits.
conclusionLiving and ageing with HIV involved recurring exposure and vulnerability in healthcare encounters, and experiences of being exposed to HIV-related stigma, especially outside HIV clinics. Continuity and being seen as a person in healthcare encounters were important. Enhancing HIV knowledge alongside fostering supportive attitudes and approaches of healthcare professionals is critical for ensuring high-quality and nondiscriminating health care. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Meeting the needs of older adults living with HIV requires a person-centred approach, including active involvement and shared decision-making between patients and healthcare providers. IMPACT: This study describes the healthcare experiences and needs of older adults, aged 65 years and older, living with HIV, a population that is not typically investigated in qualitative research. Living and ageing with HIV means a vulnerability where the attitudes of professionals and the active involvement of the patient become significant for quality care. The findings can help with the implementation of policies and practices for the care of older adults living with HIV. REPORTING
methodThe Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Studies (COREQ) was used. PATIENT AND PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patient representatives were involved in discussions on data collection and the development of the interview guide.
