Abstract

Having a good quality of life is a hope of everyone. Some factors are suspected to affect the quality of life such as adjustments to family and personal life, interpersonal relationship, and internal factors such as self-concept. This study aims to examine empirically the relationship between individual adjustment and life quality of people with HIV / AIDS. The research design employed was correlational quantitative. The subjects who were involved in this research were 73 people with HIV / AIDS (37 males and 36 females). The measuring instrument used was Sack Sentence Completion Test (SSCT) to measure family adjustment problem, self-concept problem, sexual adjustment problem, interpersonal relationship problem and World Health Organization Quality of Life Bref Version (WHOQOL-BREF) to measure quality of life. Analyzed using multiple regression, the data showed that problems of family adjustment, adjustment of sexual area, adjustment of interpersonal relationship, and self-concept problem simultaneously do not correlate significantly with quality of life. While partial correlation analysis resulted self-concept has significant correlation with quality of life. It resumed 9.5% of participants experienced family adjustment problems, 12.3% experienced problem with adjustment of sexual areas, and 5.5% experienced self-concept problem. Their quality of life in average is well and there are no significant differencies between male and female both in quality of life and individual adjustment.
