Abstract Background: Sleep disturbance is a common complaint in people living with HIV/AIDS. Despite the influence of sleep disturbance on treatment adherence, quality of life, work productivity, risk of chronic illness, it remains under-recognized and under-studied in Ethiopia. Therefore it is necessary to produce scientific evidence to fill the knowledge gap and areas of management. The current study aimed to assess sleep quality and its associated factors among people living with HIV/AIDS. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was utilized among 408 participants who were selected by a systematic random sampling technique at Zewditu memorial hospital from April to May 2018. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire was used to measure sleep quality. Ethical clearance was obtained from the joint ethics committee of the University of Gondar and Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital. Oral informed consent was obtained from each participant. Binary and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted. Odds ratios (OR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was computed. Results: The magnitude of poor sleep quality was 55.6%. Being female [AOR=3.40, 95% CI: (1.80, 6.41)], depression [AOR =3.52, 95% CI: (1.95, 6.32)], CD4count ≤ 200 cells/mm3 [AOR=3.18,95%CI: (1.65,6.13)], duration of HIV/AIDS diagnosis [AOR=3.43,95% CI: (1.61,7.29)], current use of tobacco [AOR=5.69, 95% CI: (2.04,15.9)] and chat or caffeinated drinks [AOR=2.65, 95% CI: (1.06,6.64)] and poor sleep hygiene [AOR=3.55, 95% CI: (1.85, 6.78)] were significantly associated with poor sleep quality.Conclusions: More than half of the study participants were found to have poor sleep quality. A range factors influence quality of sleep of people with HIV/AIDS. Routine screening of sleep condition among people living with HIV/AIDS and early intervention based on the findings is suggested.

Abstract Background: Sleep disturbance is a common complaint in people living with HIV/AIDS. Individuals with it are less likely to adhere to their treatment, have decreased quality of life, have decreased work productivity, and have increased risk of psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular morbidity, and disease progression. However, sleep condition remains under-recognized by clinicians and is not well studied in Ethiopia. Therefore it is necessary to produce scientific evidence to fill the clinical knowledge gap and recommend the focus area of management. The aim of the study was to assess sleep quality and its associated factors among people living with HIV/AIDS. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was utilized among 408 participants who were selected by a systematic random sampling technique at Zewditu memorial hospital from April to May 2018. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire was used to measure sleep quality. Ethical clearance was obtained from the joint ethics committee of the University of Gondar and Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital. Oral informed consent was obtained from each participant. Binary and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted. Odds ratios (OR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was computed to assess the strength of the association. Results: The magnitude of poor sleep quality was 55.6%. Being female [AOR=3.40, 95% CI: (1.80, 6.41)], depression [AOR =3.52, 95% CI: (1.95, 6.32)], CD4count ≤ 200 cells/mm3 [AOR=3.18,95%CI: (1.65,6.13)], duration of HIV/AIDS diagnosis [AOR=3.43,95% CI: (1.61,7.29)], current use of tobacco [AOR=5.69, 95% CI: (2.04,15.9)] and chat or caffeinated drinks [AOR=2.65, 95% CI: (1.06,6.64)] and poor sleep hygiene [AOR=3.55, 95% CI: (1.85, 6.78)] were significantly associated with poor sleep quality. Conclusions: More than half of the study participants were found to have poor sleep quality. A range factors influence quality of sleep of people with HIV/AIDS.

Abstract Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly reduced mortality and morbidity of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA); however, the nature of infection and treatment associated with adverse drug reactions often adversely affect patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The purpose of this study was to assess the HRQoL and its associated factors among PLWHA in Ethiopia.Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among patients taking HAART at Zewditu Memorial General Hospital in Addis Ababa. A face-to-face interview was performed using the HIV/AIDS targeted quality of Life (HAT-QoL) instrument. Patients who met eligibility criteria were approached consecutively while they came to the pharmacy for a medication refill. Descriptive statistics were used to present patient characteristics and HRQoL profiles. Independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were carried out to identify predictors for HRQoL. All statistical tests considered significant at p-value < 0.05.Results: A total of 300 participants were interviewed. The mean age of patients was 41.47 ± 9.45 years and the majority (63.13% ) were females. More than two-thirds (69.7%) of patients were adherents to their medication. The highest HAT-QoL mean score was observed in the overall function domain (84.96±19.87) followed by life satisfaction (83.02±14.61) and physician trust (80.53±20.79). Moderate mean scores were reported in the domains of health worries (71.90±27.00), medication worries (69.44±21.53) and disclosure worries (63.65±30.94) had moderate mean scores, while HIV mastery (56.94±32.52), financial worries (48.81±44.64), and sexual function (12.57±45.56) recorded lower mean scores. Being female, higher educational status, older age, low household income, taking prophylactic therapy, low CD4+ count, and non-adherence were significantly associated with HAT-QoL domains.Conclusions: Overall, HIV/AIDS patients in Addis Ababa had an average level of HRQoL. This study demonstrated that several sociodemographic and clinical variables contribute to reduced HRQoL. Hence, healthcare providers should be paid attention to associated factors that contributed to reduced HRQoL.

Background:HIV care of people living with HIV /AIDS (PLWH/A) is critical for fruitful HIV inhibition, treatment and provision of quality of life. The goal of Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) is to suppress viral replication, lessen morbidity and death, and improve patients’ quality of life. The quality of life of HIV/AIDS patients is not well appraised in the study area beforehand. Therefore, this study assessed the health-related quality of life and associated factors among people living with HIV /AIDS followed by ART Clinic in Jimma University Specialized Hospital, Southwest Ethiopia.Methods:We used facility based cross-sectional study design and 351 samples selected by systematic random sampling from Jimma University Specialized Hospital ART clinic in March-2014. Data were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires and analyzed by using SPSS version 20.0 software. Descriptive analysis (frequency and percentage) was calculated. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify associated factors. The association between the explanatory and dependent variables was assessed at p-value of less than 0.05. The results were presented in a narrative form, tables and graphs.Results:From the total respondents, 143 (40.7%) of them have low quality of life in general. Of these, 238 (67.8%) of them had low psychological domain, 136 (38.7%) had low physical domain and 223 (63.5%) low social domain. The age ≤ 39 years (AOR = 2.381 [95% CI = 1.238, 4.579]), Currently employed (AOR= 3.509 [95% CI = 1.900, 6.482]), current CD4 count ≥ 250 cell/ml (AOR = 2.663 [95% CI = 1.363,5.203]), current WHO Stage I-II (AOR = 4.772 [95% CI = 2.308, 9.865]), good general health condition (AOR = 2.609 [95%CI = 1.372, 4.961]), no comorbidity (AOR = 7.737 [95% CI = 4.146, 4.438), friendly social relationship (AOR = 5.395 [95% CI = 2.781, 10.467]), other persons reminded their drugs took time (AOR = 3.363 [95% CI = 1.629, 6.943]) and drunk alcohol (AOR = 1.915[95% CI = 1.039, 3.529]) were identified as the predictors of health related quality of life.Conclusion:Findings of this study indicate that the significant number of participants exists on low-level- of health related quality of life in general. The age, occupation, current CD4 count level, current WHO stage status, general health conditions, comorbidity conditions, status of their social relations, their conditions due to lack of support, reminder of drugs taking time, and alcohol drinking status have been observed to have a statistically significant association with their health-related quality of life status.

Abstract Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) and its associated factors among people living with HIV referring to two referral centers for HIV infected people in the southeast of Iran.Methods: Using a convenience sampling, 104 HIV-infected people were recruited. Data were collected using the HIV/AIDS-Targeted Quality of Life (HAT-QoL) instrument with 42 items divided into 9 fields: overall activity, sexual activity, disclosure worries, health worries, financial worries, HIV mastery, life satisfaction, and medication concerns and provider trust. The higher score indicated the higher QoL. Bivariable and multivariable linear regressions were performed to analysis the data.Results: The average QoL score was 52.5 (standard deviation [SD] 13.9) (range 0 to 100). In the multivariable regression model, those who experienced higher external stigma score (B= -1.9; 95% CI-2.6; -1.1) and higher internal stigma score (B=-1.1; 95%CI=-1.5; -0.6) and those who were emplyed (B=-5.9; 95% CI=-9.7; -2.1) reported lesser QoL. However, divorced or widowed people versus single people (B=6.9; 95% CI=0.7; 13.1) reported a higher QoL.Conclusions: Studying the QoL among HIV infected patients and its correlated factors and trying to improve that could reduce the problems of HIV infected patients. This study showed, QoL among this population is a multidimensional and several factors (internal and external stigma, job and marital status) could affect it.
