To measure biopsychosocial domains related to tobacco use in persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs).
Cross-sectional interview study of 60 PLWHA smokers randomly selected from an HIV clinic.
Participants averaged 14.4 cigarettes daily. Sixty-five percent were moderately or highly nicotine dependent, and most were motivated to quit. Substance use and depression were very common. Most reported that smoking helped them cope with depression, anxiety, and anger. Twenty-seven percent thought (mistakenly) that smoking raised their T-cell counts and/or helped fight infections. Referrals to quitlines or cessation programs were uncommon.
Smoking among PLWHAs is a challenging problem requiring targeted intervention strategies.
测量与艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者(PLWHA)吸烟行为相关的生物心理社会领域。
对从一家艾滋病毒诊所随机选取的60名感染艾滋病毒的吸烟者进行横断面访谈研究。
参与者平均每天吸14.4支烟。65%的人有中度或高度尼古丁依赖,且大多数人有戒烟意愿。物质使用和抑郁情况非常普遍。大多数人报告称吸烟有助于他们应对抑郁、焦虑和愤怒情绪。27%的人(错误地)认为吸烟能提高他们的T细胞计数和/或有助于抵抗感染。转介至戒烟热线或戒烟项目的情况并不常见。
艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者吸烟是一个具有挑战性的问题,需要有针对性的干预策略。
