Our findings support a framework for understanding
happiness in the context of social interactions among older
HIV+ adults.
While participants became more tired and had increasing
reports of pain over the course the day, they experienced
greater happiness when spending time with others compared
to being alone.
Clinical interventions that promote social engagement and
strategies to reduce the presence of pain and fatigue may
positively impact well-being in this growing population. |
