AB The article reports the self-care activities of long-term survivors of
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). A naturalistic, descriptive
study design using ethnographic interviewing techniques was employed to
interview 14 men and 6 women who had AIDS for at least 3 years. The
self-care activities reported were globally labeled as taking care of
oneself. Discontinuing negative health habits, undertaking
health-promoting activities, being responsible for one's health, and
decreasing stress were reported by participants as behaviors allowing
them to survive and thrive with AIDS. This study offers nurses
strategies to assist people in all stages of human immunodeficiency
virus disease to find health within the context of their illness.
