The aim of this study was to describe the relationships among home-based physical activity, fatigue, sleep, gender and quality life in people living with HIV/AIDS BACKGROUND: Fatigue is a common distressing symptom HIV/AIDS. Few interventions exist that effectively reduce fatigue population. Physical activity has shown promise other populations, but its impact on not yet been explored.
While benefits of greenness to health have been reported, findings specific child respiratory are inconsistent.We utilized a prospective birth cohort followed from age 7 years (n = 617). Residential surrounding was quantified via Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) within 200, 400, and 800 m distances geocoded home addresses at birth, years, across childhood. Respiratory outcomes were assessed including asthma lung function [percent predicted forced expiratory volume in the first...
Objective: To examine the effect of a lifestyle behavior intervention (SystemCHANGE) on physical activity and diet quality among sedentary people living with HIV (PLHIV). All participants expressed desire to improve health behaviors. Methods: One hundred seven HIV+ adults were randomized either (6, in-person, standardized group sessions focusing improving behaviors) or control condition (general advice AHA exercise guidelines). wore an ActiGraph accelerometer completed 24-hour dietary...
The hormone cortisol is typically assessed in saliva, serum, or urine samples. More recently, has been successfully extracted from hair, including humans. advantage of hair concentration that it reflects a retrospective representation hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function over time, much like hemoglobin A1C represents glycemic control. However, obtaining samples can be challenging, due to the cultural beliefs and care practices minority participants. For example, African...
Fatigue is a subjective, unpleasant, potentially disabling symptom rooted in physiological, psychological, and behavioral causes. People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are population highly affected by fatigue because of risk factors associated HIV infection, treatment, psychosocial disease burden. longer facing the challenge trajectory. Palliative nurses expertise management can play crucial role helping people to engage health behaviors that prevent or mitigate fatigue. In...
Lifestyle physical activity (ie, moderate during routine daily activities most days of the week) may benefit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive adults who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease.
We conducted a cross-sectional secondary analysis of baseline data from the SATURN-HIV study (N = 147; 78% male, 68% Black, median body mass index [BMI] 26.72 kg/m
WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Depression affects 1 in 20 Americans, and people living with HIV experience depression at 2-3 times the rate of general population. Recent research has shown that a person's level social connectedness (e.g., networks) is important to understanding their health ability get help when they need it. The scientific rationale this work determine whether there direct relationship between levels measure who are higher than normal risk depressive symptoms. THIS PAPER...
Background: Summer bridges facilitate the transition from high school to college. Although many schools employ summer bridges, few have published outcomes. This article's purpose is share preconceptions of college by underrepresented and disadvantaged nursing students describe important elements long-term impact a bridge, component Leadership 2.0 program. Method: A longitudinal study design was used collect baseline, short-term, post-summer bridge data. Methods included pre- postsurveys,...
Background: People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) are at an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness in PLHIV poorly understood. Objective: The aims of this study were to describe physical by sex age examine the association between PLHIV, controlling covariates. Methods: Seven hundred two participated a cross-sectional completed validated measures self-reported (7-day Activity Recall) (6-minute walk test)....
Abstract Aim To examine the association between symptoms severity and treatment burden in people living with HIV. Design Correlational, secondary analysis of data from participants diagnosed HIV enrolled a descriptive, cross‐sectional study examining physical activity patterns. Methods We analysed 103 men women using self‐report collected March 2016 ‐ February 2017. Our primary statistical analyses consisted explanatory multivariate modelling individual PROMIS‐29 scores representing symptom...
While physical activity can mitigate the metabolic effects of HIV disease and medications, many HIV-infected persons report low levels activity. Purpose: To determine if there were differences between subjective objective assessments while controlling for sociodemographic, anthropometric, clinical characteristics. Setting/sample: A total 810 participants across eight sites located in three countries. Measures: Subjective instruments two subscales Self-efficacy Exercise Behaviors Scale:...
This study sought to explore HIV-related stereotypes and norms that impact HIV-status communication with potential sexual partners. A series of focus groups in-depth interviews were conducted (N = 59) HIV-positive HIV-negative MSM (75%) Heterosexuals (25%). Findings indicate HIV stigma remain as barriers discussion. Differences also emerged across groups: 1) more likely report engaging in communication, 2) described inconsistent reported concealing their status at times, 3) being least...
An intervention was conducted providing access to clinic-verified HIV test results via a secure, web-based informatics platform facilitate sexual partner HIV-status communication. Participants (N = 28) were men who have sex with (MSM; HIV− n 8, HIV+ 8) and heterosexuals (Non-MSM, 12). Focus groups same-group members explored interest in using the baseline attitudes practices relevant serosorting. HIV-negative participants overwhelmingly expressed interest, regardless of MSM status. Interest...
Abstract People frequently use the internet to obtain information, including information about health, but we lack understanding of how people living with HIV (PLHIV) in their care and treatment decisions. In this secondary analysis, interviews 23 individuals who initiated at an urban, Midwestern medical center mentioned were analyzed using qualitative content analysis explore they used during process initiating care. had been by sample from less than one month three years post‐diagnosis....
exercise test; HIV; physical fitness; walk test People living with HIV (PLWH) develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) earlier and more often than those not infected (Freiberg et al., 2013).When adjusted for Framingham risk factors, co-morbidities, substance use, PLWH have a 50% greater of acute myocardial infarction 2013).This population also has higher due to HIV-specific factors including antiretroviral medications chronic immune activation (Duprez 2012).Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is the...
Data repositories are a strategy in line with precision medicine and big data initiatives, an efficient way to maximize utility form collaborative research relationships. Nurse researchers uniquely positioned make valuable contribution using this strategy. The purpose of article is present review the benefits challenges associated developing repositories, describe process we used develop maintain repository HIV research. Systematic planning, collection, synthesis, sharing have enabled us...
