Depression and anxiety, which may influence antiretroviral therapy (ART) medication adherence, are prevalent among persons living with HIV (PLWH) in China. This parallel two-arm clinical controlled trial aimed to examine the effects of a nurse-delivered cognitive behavioral intervention (CBI) on depression, anxiety, and ART medication adherence in Chinese PLWH. Using in-person and online recruitment, 140 PLWH ages 18 years and older who were undergoing ART and had a Patient Health Questionnaire-4 score of ≥2 were assigned to the 10-week-long CBI group or the routine follow-up group according to their preference. Outcomes were measured at baseline, postintervention, and 6-month follow-up. Results showed significant intervention effects on depression maintained until the 6-month follow-up. Although anxiety and ART medication adherence did not show robust effects between conditions, amelioration trends for these outcomes were also found. Our study demonstrated that the nurse-delivered CBI could help Chinese PLWH ameliorate depression.
抑郁和焦虑,可能会影响抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)药物的依从性,在我国 HIV 感染者(PLWH)中很常见。本项平行、双臂的临床对照试验旨在研究护士提供的认知行为干预(CBI)对中国 PLWH 的抑郁、焦虑和 ART 药物依从性的影响。通过面访和在线招募,140 名年龄在 18 岁及以上、正在接受 ART 治疗且患者健康问卷-4 评分≥2 的 PLWH 根据自身偏好被分配到为期 10 周的 CBI 组或常规随访组。在基线、干预后和 6 个月随访时评估结局。结果显示,干预对抑郁的影响一直持续到 6 个月随访。虽然焦虑和 ART 药物依从性在组间没有显示出显著的效果,但也发现了这些结局的改善趋势。我们的研究表明,护士提供的 CBI 可以帮助中国 PLWH 改善抑郁。
