The relationship between neurocognitive impairment and employment in a cohort of 130 predominantly symptomatic individuals with HIV-1 infection was examined. Participants were classified as employed (full or part-time for pay) or unemployed (N = 64) and administered a neuropsychological test battery. When covarying for CD4 count, age, and physical limitations, the results revealed that unemployed men performed below that of employed participants on tasks of memory, set shifting-cognitive flexibility, and psychomotor speed. The results are discussed within the context of similar findings in other illnesses.
对130名主要为有症状的HIV-1感染者队列中的神经认知障碍与就业之间的关系进行了研究。参与者被分为就业者(全职或兼职有薪)或失业者(N = 64),并接受了一套神经心理学测试。在对CD4细胞计数、年龄和身体限制进行协变量调整后,结果显示,失业男性在记忆、定势转换-认知灵活性和精神运动速度任务上的表现低于就业参与者。将在其他疾病的类似研究结果背景下对这些结果进行讨论。
