The primary aim of this study was to examine coping strategies among families of HIV-infected children and how they relate to medical, central nervous system (CNS) and family environment factors. Caregivers of HIV-positive children (N=52) completed a family coping measure (F-COPES) and provided information regarding family environment. Data regarding medical and CNS status were obtained from patient records. Results indicated that families' passive coping and spiritual support were among the coping techniques used most often, and social support was used least often. Medical variables were unrelated to any coping styles. Families of children with CNS impairment endorsed more passive coping techniques than families of children with no apparent deficits. A trend was found for non-biological caregivers to seek out more community resources and support than biological caregivers. Findings suggest the need to target families least likely to utilize resources, and to teach them to effectively seek out and benefit from social and community supports
