| مستخلص: | HIV and mental illness comorbidity presents significant healthcare challenges, especially in low- and middle-income countries where healthcare systems often address individual conditions rather than comorbidities. This results in poor coping, increased vulnerability and diminished health-related quality of life. This study investigated coping strategies, challenges and potential interventions for individuals with HIV-mental illness comorbidity in Southwestern Uganda. The study included purposively selected people with HIV and mental illnesses seeking care in health facilities across Southwestern Uganda. Data from in-depth, semi-structured interviews were transcribed verbatim and entered into ATLAS.ti-7 for analysis. Thematic analysis was employed, generating codes from the transcripts to develop themes. The data revealed three categories: coping strategies, challenges and potential interventions. Three key coping strategies emerged: conscious avoidance of emotional stressors, maintaining emotional stability through social interactions and reliance on prayer. Challenges included social isolation, financial crises, vulnerability to abuse and medication management issues. Respondents recommended scaling up mass educational programmes to increase awareness of causes, preventive measures and association between the two comorbidities, together with implementing financial aid initiatives as viable interventions. These findings highlight the importance of addressing comorbidities together for improved emotional stability and underscore the value of the proposed potential interventions for healthcare systems and policymakers. |
