L’objectif
The overall experience of people living with HIV (PLWH) who use drugs while admitted to hospital directly influences their treatment engagement. However, little discussion in the research literature articulates the self-reported experiences of PLWH who use drugs specific to their time spent in hospital.
Constatations/points à retenir
Participants identified two sets of rules that influence their hospital admission; personal rules, used for navigating the admission, and hospital rules (i.e., “their rules”). Participants indicated that healthcare providers’ use of a constructed difficult patient identity shaped their experiences while admitted as hospital in-patients.
