艾滋病孤儿是社会中的弱势群体,他们不仅承担着生活重负,而且还承受着无形的心理压力。国内外多项研究显示,艾滋病孤儿存在孤独、自卑、自我封闭和偏激逆反等不良的心理问题,若不能给予足够的重视和有效的干预,该群体势必将成为严重的社会和公共卫生问题。全社会都应加大对艾滋病孤儿的关注,开展更多的心理关怀活动,促进艾滋病孤儿全面健康成长。 AIDS orphans are the disadvantaged groups in society, they not only bear the heavy burden of life, but also bear the invisible psychological pressure. Many studies at home and abroad show that AIDS orphans have some unhealthy psychological problems such as loneliness, inferiority, self-enclosure and extreme reaction. If not enough attention and effective intervention are given, the group is bound to become a serious social and public health problem. The whole society should increase its attention to AIDS orphans, carry out more psychological care activities and promote the comprehensive and healthy growth of AIDS orphans.
