Traumatic events and PTSD symptomatology in HIV-infected adults and the impact on treatment adherence.
Keeney, Elizabeth Minenna.

Traumatic events and PTSD symptomatology in HIV-infected adults and the impact on treatment adherence. - 277 p.

Adviser: Gerald Landsberg.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2007.

The study's purpose was to examine the relationship between PTSD symptomatology, substance abuse, alcohol abuse, depression, HIV-related stigma, HIV symptoms, quality of life and treatment adherence in a population of HIV-infected adults. In addition, the study sought to examine what variable or combination of variables predicted successful or unsuccessful treatment adherence. The study sample (n =154) was recruited from HIV service agencies on Staten Island and Manhattan. They were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire and eight self-report measures to determine what relationships existed between demographic characteristics, psychosocial factors and treatment adherence. The study results found that PTSD symptomatology were positively related and had a statistically significant association with poor treatment adherence, as did age, substance abuse, and alcohol abuse. While not statistically significant, depression was also positively associated with poor treatment adherence. Surprisingly, HIV-related stigma had no relationship with treatment adherence. As expected, HIV symptoms and quality of life had a statistically significant negative relationship with poor treatment adherence.

520 $a Finally, in predicting treatment adherence, poorer physical health and greater substance abuse were the only variables that showed a significant predictive ability with poor treatment adherence. Greater mental health problems and younger age were weakly but positively associated with poor treatment adherence.
