ABSTRACT
The quality of life of mothers with positive Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a concern due to a lack
of family support. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between family support and the
quality of life of mothers living with positive HIV in Surabaya. This was a descriptive correlational study
with a cross sectional approach. The subjects were 30 mothers with positive HIV from two public health
care facilities in Surabaya who were already confirmed to have positive HIV by healthcare professionals
without manifestation of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Family Support Questionnaires
used were family support and World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) HIV for quality of
life. The data was analysed using Spearman’s Rho correlation test with P value < 0.05. The result showed
that the majority of respondents are in early adulthood (26-35 years). Some respondents had HIV for less
than 4 years and used anti retro viral (ARV) for 2 years. There was a moderate positive correlation between
family support and quality of life of mothers with positive HIV (P = 0.026, Spearman’s rho = 0.48). The
better the family support, the higher the quality of life which may be achieved by the clients.
In Surabaya, there are four public health care life and general health conditions. The questionnaire is
