Abstract:
Patients with HIV & AIDS may have various types of psychological response, so it is a very difficult situation for them. Difficulty can be measured with Adversity Quotient. So nurses are expected to give extrinsic motivation to bring back the quality of life for patients with HIV & AIDS. The objective of this study was to identify the presence of the effect of extrinsic motivation on Adversity Quotient in patients with HIV & AIDS in the Infectious Disease Intermediary Treatment Unit, Dr Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. This study used a quasi-experimental design. The population was taken from ambulatory patients. Samples were taken using purposive sampling, in which the patients involved were those who only met the inclusion criteria, with the total sample of 16 individuals. The independent variable in this study was extrinsic motivation, which was presenting as social support, and the dependent variable was Adversity Quotient. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews, and
were subsequently analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann-Whitney Test with a significance value of 0.05. Results revealed that the Adversity Quotient of the patient indicated the effect of extrinsic motivation on Adversity Quotient of patients with HIV & AIDS (p = 0.017). The extrinsic motivation was found to have an effect on control response (p = 0.027) and origin response (p = 0.028), while there was no influence on ownership response (p = 0.334), reach (p = 0.129), and endurance (p = 0.161). The extrinsic motivation with intervention of social support has a positive effect on the improvement of Adversity Quotient in patients with HIV & AIDS. The level of Adversity Quotient in these patients may have an effect on the attitude in dealing with the recovery of their disease. Further study should measure the effectiveness of Adversity Quotient training on acceptance response in patients with HIV & AIDS
