Abstract:

The lifetime prevalence of clinical depression in patients living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is approximately 22% compared to 3% to 10% in the primary care population. The nursing practice problem at the project site concerned nurses' lack of knowledge and understanding of procedures to help ensure that all patients living with HIV/AIDS were properly screened for depression and referred for further evaluation and treatment. The purpose of this project was to implement a staff education module to address the use of the PHQ-9 screening tool t

Abstract:

People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are 4 times more likely to have a diagnosis of depression than persons without HIV. The specific problem at a rural clinic in a southern region of the United States, was a lack of continuity in the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) screening procedures that made sure that PLWHA were screened, identified, and referred. Early identification and treatment can help patients cope with barriers that affect health outcomes. The purpose and goal of this project was to develop and implement an evidence-based depression screening protocol to improve clinical staf

Abstract:

As the HIV epidemic ages, health systems globally are faced with the reality that infected persons whom, at the height of the epidemic and pre-ART, were not expected to live long now have to negotiate aging with HIV and associated complications. With increasing success in treating HIV, people are living well into later life with HIV, the bulk of which are in the developing world, particularly the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region. Although there has been some interest in this topic, policies and interventions have not been forthcoming. HIV as it relates to older adults specifically remains large

Abstract:

Background: Emerging adulthood (18 to 29 years old) is a critical age group in relation to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) epidemic and to mental health. A major public health concern globally, in management of HIV, is that emerging adults have suboptimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, yet they are the largest group initiating ART. In addition, common mental disorders (CMDs), including depression and anxiety have their peak incidence during this period and they have been found to increase risk of non-adherence to ART. Those with CMDs may have different types of barriers than th

Transitioning to adulthood is a challenging experience for all young adults, but especially for those who are living with HIV/AIDS and residing in low income, urban areas.

High caffeine consumption (>250 mg. per day or the equivalent of >4 cups of brewed coffee) may also affect general functionality, adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART) and HIV care.

In addition to any loss of function related to physical trauma, psychological trauma i.e. fear of falling, may also produce a decline in levels of physical and social activity which is self imposed.

Objective: People living with HIV (PLWH) commonly report sleep disturbances which are associated with long-term health consequences, including disease progression.

Therefore, we examined whether internalised HIV-stigma was indirectly related to poorer sleep quality through higher levels of loneliness and depressive symptoms.

Abstract:

We examined the links between HIV-stigma, loneliness and sleep quality in 181 people living with HIV (PLWH) who completed an online self-report questionnaire. Results suggested that the indirect effect of stigma on poorer sleep through increased loneliness was significant. Researchers will address implications for research on stigma and health.

Abstract:

This research tests and refines a middle range theoretical model about unitary developmental patterns in aging adults and dying adults. The primary aim was to explore the relationships among four unitary patterns of Health (power, personal death awareness, perceived symptoms in transition, and well-being) and three unitary patterns of Spirituality (self-transcendence, spiritual perspective, and meaning and purpose in life and death). A secondary aim was to explore the personal meanings of death for participants. A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used to answer the research questions. T

Abstract:

This qualitative research study focuses explicitly on understanding the experiences and perceptions of urban Aboriginal women living with HIV/AIDS. Stigmatizing attitudes and language have serious impacts upon the lives of HIV-positive Aboriginal women. The ways our society presently addresses the women needs to change. With the insights and assistance of four Aboriginal women living with HIV, this project adds to the presently sparse qualitative literature in this research area. Current research indicates that there are many factors associated with urban Aboriginal women being at higher risk

Abstract:

Portugal has traditionally had the highest HIV incidence in Western Europe, currently standing at 0.6% (UNAIDS, 2011). In addition, men in Portugal are disproportionately infected with HIV. Portuguese men are traditionally expected to initiate sexual activity earlier than women and not to worry about safer sex. However, little is known about how prevailing norms of masculinity may influence their experiences of living with HIV. Informed by an interpretivist epistemology and utilising multiple methods, data were gathered from in-depth interviews with 20 men living with HIV and 10 professionals
