Cognitive health is a significant concern for people aging with HIV/AIDS. Psychosocial group therapies may help people aging with HIV who experience cognitive challenges cope with their symptoms. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed in-person group therapies need adaptation for technology-mediated delivery. Peer-led focus groups discussed adapting cognitive remediation group therapy (CRGT) as an online intervention. CRGT combines mindfulness-based stress reduction and brain training activities. Purposive sampling recruited people aging with HIV (40+) who self-identified cognitive concerns and resided in one of two Canadian provinces. Thematic content analysis was employed on transcripts by seven independent coders. Ten, 2-hour focus groups were conducted between August and November 2022. Participants (n=45) responded favorably to CRGT's modalities. Alongside support for its continued implementation in-person, participants requested online synchronous and online asynchronous formats. Preferred intervention facilitators were peers and mental health professionals. We also discuss how to adapt psychosocial HIV therapies for technology-mediated delivery.
认知健康是老年艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的一个重大关注点。心理社会群体疗法可能有助于那些有认知挑战的艾滋病毒感染者应对他们的症状。COVID-19 大流行表明,面对面的群体疗法需要适应技术介导的交付。由同伴领导的焦点小组讨论了将认知矫正团体治疗(CRGT)作为一种在线干预措施进行调整。CRGT 将正念减压和大脑训练活动结合在一起。目的抽样招募了有认知问题且居住在加拿大两个省份之一的老年艾滋病毒感染者(40 岁以上)。通过七名独立编码员对转录本进行了主题内容分析。2022 年 8 月至 11 月期间,共进行了 10 次 2 小时的焦点小组讨论。参与者(n=45)对 CRGT 的模式表示欢迎。除了支持其继续以面对面的形式实施外,参与者还要求提供在线同步和在线异步格式。首选的干预措施协调人是同伴和心理健康专业人员。我们还讨论了如何为技术介导的交付来调整艾滋病毒的心理社会治疗方法。
