Abstract
Aims: The study examined self-esteem, life
satisfaction and hopelessness as predictors of
meaning in life among people living with HIV/
AIDS. Methods: Two hundred patients; 126
females and 74 males, aged between 17 and 70
years were used for the study. Their mean age
was 38.9 years with a standard deviation of
10.2 years. Results: The findings revealed that
self-esteem, life satisfaction and hopelessness
significantly predicted meaning in life and they
are important constructs in assessing meaning
in the lives of PLWHAs. Conclusion: Therefore,
it was recommended that meaning centered
therapy programs should be put in place by health
care givers and other stakeholders dealing with
PLWHAs to increase patient’s meaning in life
