Abstract

Although people with HIV/AIDS have to routinely have a medical checkup, there are empirical studies that show that they also need psychological treatment. People with HIV/AIDS need social support in their surrounding environment. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Rexcentra's counselling model as a psychological treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS. The design of this study used a pre-posttest control group design. The respondents used were 12 people consisting of HIV recipients, people living with AIDS (i.e People Living with HIV/AIDS-PLWHA) and people who were at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. Data was collected using a questionnaire and interview method. Evaluation of the success of the Rex-centra counselling model is known through changes in attitudes of PLWHA patients collected with attitude scale instruments and the data can be in the form of intervals. Data on the results of the research on the effectiveness of the Rex-centra counselling model was analysed using ttest. The findings indicate that the Rex-centra counselling model is effectively used as a psychological treatment for people living with HIV. So psychologically they are also helped to be able to move like other normal people. This research is limited to testing the effectiveness of Rexcentra's counselling model as a psychological treatment that is implemented in with PLWHA and people who were at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. The results of this study have implications as one of the alternative references for making local policies in promoting life health and community behaviour, as well as a reference for developing the Guidance and Counselling curriculum as a place of service for young people in schools and in tertiary institutions. The Rex-centra counselling model is a research finding based upon the results of research on the developing stigma of people living with HIV. The Rex-centra counselling model has also not been applied by other researchers as a psychological intervention
