BACKGROUND: The provision of Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) was started in Myanmar in 2005 in collaboration with the National AIDS Program and the private sector. Successful clinical management of HIV-infected patients is subject to optimal adherence. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of adherence to ART and identify factors associated with non-adherence to ART among HIV infected adults registered in a private sector setting in Mon State, Myanmar. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted with adults living with HIV receiving ART at an HIV outpatient clinic between April and May 2016. A total of three hundred People Living with HIV(PLHIV) were interviewed using a pretested and structured questionnaire. The 30 days Visual Analog Scale (VAS) adherence instrument was used to assess the level of adherence. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine factors associated with non-adherence to ART. RESULTS: Among 300 patients (male 37.7% and female 62.3%, with a mean age of 41.3 years, standard deviation 8.7), 84% reported ≥95% adherence to ART in the past month. Among 16% of those reporting non-adherence, major reasons for skipping the medication were being busy (23%), being away from home (17.7%) and being forgetful (12.3%). In multivariable logistic rgeression, low behavioural skills on ART adherence (OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.10-0.94), tobacco use (OR = 3.22, 95% CI:1.28-8.12), having disclosed their HIV status (OR = 0.07, 95% CI: 0.01-0.69), having a partner who was not on ART (OR = 4.25, 95% CI: 1.70-10.64) and among men, having erectile dysfunction (OR = 15.14, 95% CI: 1.41-162.66) were significant associated with ART non-adherence. CONCLUSION: Non-adherence to ART was associated with individual moderating factors and behavioral skills. Priority measures such as addressing risk behaviour and behavioural change communication tailored to individual patients' lifestyles requires comprehensive interventions to improve adherence.
背景:2005年,缅甸与国家艾滋病项目及私营部门合作,开始提供抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)。对感染艾滋病毒患者的成功临床管理取决于最佳依从性。本研究的目的是确定在缅甸孟邦一家私营机构登记的成年艾滋病毒感染者中,ART的依从率,并确定与ART不依从相关的因素。 方法:这项横断面研究于2016年4月至5月期间,在一家艾滋病毒门诊诊所对接受ART治疗的成年艾滋病毒感染者进行。使用经过预测试的结构化问卷,共对300名艾滋病毒感染者(PLHIV)进行了访谈。采用30天视觉模拟量表(VAS)依从性工具评估依从水平。多变量逻辑回归分析用于确定与ART不依从相关的因素。 结果:在300名患者中(男性占37.7%,女性占62.3%,平均年龄41.3岁,标准差8.7),84%的患者报告在过去一个月中对ART的依从率≥95%。在报告不依从的16%的患者中,漏服药物的主要原因是忙碌(23%)、离家在外(17.7%)和健忘(12.3%)。在多变量逻辑回归中,ART依从性方面的低行为技能(OR = 0.31,95%CI:0.10 - 0.94)、吸烟(OR = 3.22,95%CI:1.28 - (此处原文有误,应为8.12))、已披露其艾滋病毒感染状况(OR = 0.07,95%CI:0.01 - 0.69)、伴侣未接受ART治疗(OR = 4.25,95%CI:1.70 - 10.64)以及男性中的勃起功能障碍(OR = 15.14,95%CI:1.41 - 162.66)与ART不依从显著相关。 结论:ART不依从与个体调节因素和行为技能有关。诸如针对个体患者生活方式解决风险行为和进行行为改变沟通等优先措施,需要全面干预以提高依从性。
