BACKGROUND
Approximately one-half of all adults with HIV experience chronic pain. Needed are nonpharmacological approaches to improve pain management in this population.
METHODS
For this study, we conducted in-depth qualitative interviews (n = 20) with thirteen adults with HIV and 7 HIV care providers regarding their perceptions of Tai Chi for chronic pain management. The interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, double-coded, and analyzed using applied thematic analysis.
RESULTS
HIV patients had limited prior exposure to Tai Chi and had not previously considered this practice for pain management. However, after viewing a brief video demonstration of Tai Chi, patients recognized potential benefits, including relaxation, stress reduction, and pain lessening. Patients were surprised by the gentle nature of Tai Chi and expressed enthusiasm to learn more about Tai Chi. HIV healthcare providers similarly had limited knowledge of Tai Chi for pain management. HIV care providers shared several helpful insights on the potential implementation of Tai Chi with this population.
CONCLUSIONS
Adults with HIV and healthcare providers were optimistic that Tai Chi would reduce stress and ease chronic pain. These data suggest that Tai Chi would be of interest to HIV patients and care providers as a novel pain management strategy.
背景
约一半感染艾滋病毒的成年人患有慢性疼痛。需要采用非药物方法来改善该人群的疼痛管理。
方法
在本研究中，我们对13名感染艾滋病毒的成年人和7名艾滋病毒护理提供者进行了深入的定性访谈（n = 20），了解他们对太极拳用于慢性疼痛管理的看法。访谈进行了录音、转录、双重编码，并使用应用主题分析法进行分析。
结果
艾滋病毒患者以前对太极拳的接触有限，并且以前没有考虑过用这种方法来管理疼痛。然而，在观看了一段简短的太极拳视频演示后，患者认识到了潜在的益处，包括放松、减轻压力和缓解疼痛。患者对太极拳动作轻柔的特点感到惊讶，并表示有兴趣更多地了解太极拳。艾滋病毒医疗服务提供者对太极拳用于疼痛管理的了解同样有限。艾滋病毒护理提供者就太极拳在该人群中的潜在应用分享了一些有用的见解。
结论
感染艾滋病毒的成年人和医疗服务提供者都乐观地认为，太极拳将减轻压力并缓解慢性疼痛。这些数据表明，太极拳作为一种新颖的疼痛管理策略，会引起艾滋病毒患者和护理提供者的兴趣。
