HIV/AIDS is a chronic condition that has negative health outcomes. Latinos living in the U.S. are also affected by HIV/AIDS. Acceptance and mindfulness are coping strategies that have been associated with better health outcomes in different medical populations, including people living with HIV/AIDS. To the researcher's knowledge, this is the first meta-analytic review to explore the relationships among acceptance, mindfulness, and health outcomes in people living with HIV/AIDS, including HIV-positive Latinos. Results indicate that pre to post treatment effect sizes for mindfulness and acceptance interventions are moderate and reliable for self-report measures of distress, quality of life, and stable HIV biomarkers. Treatment control comparisons at post treatment yielded small effect sizes for self-report measures. For correlational studies, a similar pattern of results was found. Mindfulness and acceptance predicted lower self-reported distress, improved quality of life, and healthier HIV biomarkers. This pattern of results indicates that acceptance andmindfulness are effective for the psychological treatment of HIV/AIDS. Results alsoindicate that Latinos are underrepresented in the HIV literature. 2014-08-08 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1404401086 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1404401086 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
