: The aim of this study was to assess sleep quality in people living with HIV (PLWH), and to examine how the sleep sphere interacts with mental health, quality of life and internalized stigma. A total of 250 PLWH were consecutively enrolled during routine outpatient visits. Each participant completed a 67-item questionnaire. Sleep disturbances were measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used to measure the mental health status. The Short Form 12 (SF-12) questionnaire was used to measure participants' quality of life. Internalized HIV-related stigma was evaluated using the modified six-item internalized AIDS-related stigma scale. : Many of the PLWH were male (69.2%) and the time between HIV diagnosis and first antiretroviral therapy (ART) was over 10 years (69.2% and 64%, respectively). The PSQI component most-cited as problematic by PLWH was habitual sleep efficiency (52.4%). In multivariate analysis models, a higher mean in the PSQI total score was significantly associated with internalized stigma (mean change 1.10), depression (mean change 6. 20), anxiety (mean change 12.15), stress (mean change 6.24), physical (mean change 7.54) and mental (mean change 3.56) quality of life, health status (mean change -6.04), ART adherence (mean change -5.08) and physical activity (mean change -6.20). : Our results confirm the role of sleep quality in both mental and physical health and suggest that sleep disorders might also be a significant indicator of psychosocial challenges faced by PLWH.
本研究旨在评估人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者(PLWH)的睡眠质量,并探讨睡眠领域如何与心理健康、生活质量和内化耻辱感相互作用。在常规门诊就诊期间,共连续招募了250名PLWH。每位参与者完成了一份67项问卷。使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)测量睡眠障碍。使用抑郁、焦虑和压力量表(DASS-21)测量心理健康状况。使用简短健康调查12项问卷(SF-12)测量参与者的生活质量。使用改良的六项内化艾滋病相关耻辱感量表评估与HIV相关的内化耻辱感。许多PLWH为男性(69.2%),HIV诊断与首次抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)之间的时间超过10年(分别为69.2%和64%)。PLWH最常提及存在问题的PSQI成分是习惯性睡眠效率(52.4%)。在多变量分析模型中,PSQI总分较高与内化耻辱感(平均变化1.10)、抑郁(平均变化6.20)、焦虑(平均变化12.15)、压力(平均变化6.24)、生理(平均变化7.54)和心理(平均变化3.56)生活质量、健康状况(平均变化-6.04)、ART依从性(平均变化-5.08)和身体活动(平均变化-6.20)显著相关。我们的结果证实了睡眠质量在心理和身体健康中的作用,并表明睡眠障碍可能也是PLWH面临的心理社会挑战的一个重要指标。
