This study evaluated the effectiveness of a time-limited psychoeducational group intervention for cohabiting partners and spouses of persons with HIV/AIDS. The goals of the intervention were to decrease feelings of depression, anxiety, perceived stress, and stigma and to increase perceived social support. A pretest-posttest, quasi-experimental research design was used. A total of 19 partners or spouses received treatment, and 9 partners or spouses were on a waiting list. Multivariate analysis of covariance provided inconclusive evidence of the model’s effectiveness for noninfected spousal and partner caregivers. Despite these results, treatment effect and power analyses support the viability of this treatment method.
