Fatigue is a subjective, unpleasant, potentially disabling symptom rooted in physiological, psychological, and behavioral causes. People living with HIV are a population highly affected by fatigue due to risk factors associated with HIV-infection, treatment, and psychosocial disease burden. People with HIV are living longer, and are facing the challenge of a longer disease trajectory. Palliative nurses with expertise in symptom management can play a crucial role in helping people with HIV to engage in health behaviors that prevent or mitigate fatigue. In this paper we present a definition and overview of fatigue, describe the problem of fatigue in people living with HIV, and present a case study that illustrates the role of the palliative nurse in helping a person with HIV to cope with fatigue.
疲劳是一种主观的、令人不适的、可能导致残疾的症状,其根源在于生理、心理和行为方面的原因。由于与艾滋病毒感染、治疗及心理社会疾病负担相关的风险因素,艾滋病毒感染者是受疲劳影响极大的人群。艾滋病毒感染者的寿命在延长,他们面临着疾病病程变长的挑战。在症状管理方面具备专业知识的姑息治疗护士,在帮助艾滋病毒感染者采取预防或减轻疲劳的健康行为中可发挥关键作用。在本文中,我们给出了疲劳的定义和概述,描述了艾滋病毒感染者的疲劳问题,并呈现了一个案例研究,该案例说明了姑息治疗护士在帮助一名艾滋病毒感染者应对疲劳方面所起的作用。
