English Abstract
Purpose was to explore HIV/AIDS clients‘ experience with health care providers and if the client-provider relationship influenced medication adherence.
Using a longitudinal qualitative design and empowerment framework, clients were interviewed prior to beginning a newly prescribed medication and at their follow up appointment.
A purposive sample of 46 men and 34 women participated.
Interviews were content analyzed.
From 1195 significant words, phrases, and sentences, eight themes emerged.
Themes are organized into two categories: Positive Relationships (Caring with the Heart, Competent Provider, Sat Down with Me, and Clients‘ Commitment), and Negative Relationships (Uncaring Practices, Incompetent Provider, Poor Communication, and Client Distancing.) Health care providers who were perceived as client-centered empowered participants to feel positive, take medications, and keep appointments.
