Interventions to increase adherence to antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV – what works? A systematic review and meta-analysis
The Perceptions and Practicalities Approach (PaPA) is a recommended framework for designing medication adherence interventions. Little is known about the utility of the PaPA framework in improving antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of interventions to improve ART adherence according to the extent to which they apply principles from the PaPA framework. Electronic databases were searched in October…
Mapping Vaccination Mindsets among UK Residents of Black Ethnicities with HIV: Lessons from Covid-19

Perceptions and Practicalities Influencing Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Adherence Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in England
PrEP is highly effective for HIV prevention but requires adequate adherence. In this paper we use the perceptions and practicalities approach (PAPA) to identify factors that influenced PrEP adherence using qualitative data from the PROUD study. From February 2014 to January 2016, we interviewed 41 gay, bisexual and other men-who-have-sex-with-men and one trans woman who were enrolled in the study. We purposively recruited participants for intervi…
Differences in Beliefs About Cholesterol-Lowering Medications Among the Visegrad Group Countries: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: New cholesterol guidelines highlight more personalized risk assessments and new cholesterol-lowering drugs for people at the highest risk for cardiovascular disease. Adherence due to fear of and lack of trust in medications prevents treatment to provide better health outcomes. Objectives: The aim of our study was to investigate the possible differences in the beliefs about the necessity and concerns regarding lipid-lowering drugs amon…
Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Lingual Validation of the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ)-Specific for Cholesterol Lowering Drugs in the Visegrad Countries
The goal of this study was to translate the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire-Specific (BMQ-Specific) for cholesterol-lowering drugs, into the Hungarian, Slovak, Czech and Polish languages and test their reliability with statistical methods. For this purpose, Cronbach's alpha, confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses were conducted. The analyses included 235 Czech, 205 Hungarian, 200 Polish, and 200 Slovak respondents, all of whom were ta…

The Context of Sexual Risk Behaviour Among Men Who Have Sex with Men Seeking PrEP, and the Impact of PrEP on Sexual Behaviour
There are still important gaps in our understanding of how people will incorporate PrEP into their existing HIV prevention strategies. In this paper, we explore how PrEP use impacted existing sexual risk behaviours and risk reduction strategies using qualitative data from the PROUD study. From February 2014 to January 2016, we conducted 41 in-depth interviews with gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) enrolled in the PROUD PrE…
The Experience of Antiretroviral Treatment for Black West African Women who are HIV Positive and Living in London: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
The value of nurses' tailored communication when discussing medicines: Exploring the relationship between satisfaction, beliefs and adherence
Numerous studies of various populations and settings link patient-provider communication or beliefs to medication adherence. A better understanding of this interplay may help to improve patient-centred communication. To predict adherence, this study used the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire and indications of the quality of the nurse's communication in terms of patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction with the information provided and the …
The development and initial validation of a questionnaire to measure help‐seeking behaviour in patients with new onset rheumatoid arthritis
BACKGROUND: Early treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is vital. However, people often delay in seeking help at symptom onset. An assessment of the reasons behind patient delay is necessary to develop interventions to promote rapid consultation. OBJECTIVE: Using a mixed methods design, we aimed to develop and test a questionnaire to assess the barriers to help seeking at RA onset. DESIGN: Questionnaire items were extracted from previous qualit…
A qualitative study of treatment burden among haemodialysis recipients
This study aims to explore the experience of renal patients undergoing dialysis treatment focusing on beliefs about their illness, prescribed treatment and the challenge of adherence. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyse the accounts of seven haemodialysis patients. Patients have a range of beliefs about their illness and their treatment consistent with the self-regulatory model of illness, that is, identity, cause, conseq…
The influence of symptom experiences and attributions on adherence to highly active anti-retroviral therapy (Haart): A six-month prospective, follow-up study
OBJECTIVE: To examine changes in individuals' experiences of symptoms over the first six months of taking highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) and to assess the impact of symptom experiences and attributions on adherence to HAART. METHODS: A prospective study where consecutive HIV positive individuals initiating HAART completed validated questionnaires assessing their experiences of symptoms, depression, beliefs about HAART and adherence…
A conceptually based approach to understanding chronically ill patients’ responses to medication cost pressures
The use and reporting of cluster analysis in health psychology: A review
Purpose Cluster analysis is a collection of relatively simple descriptive statistical techniques with potential value in health psychology, addressing both theoretical and practical problems. There are many methods of cluster analysis from which to choose, with no clear guidelines to aid researchers. In the absence of guidelines it is likely that methods already reported by published researchers will be adopted, and so clear reporting of statisti…
Patients’ perception of information about Haart: Impact on treatment decisions
The aim of this study was to profile patients' satisfaction with information they have received about HAART in relation to treatment uptake. As part of a prospective investigation into uptake and adherence to HAART, 115 participants, comprising predominantly gay men, completed validated questionnaires investigating their satisfaction with information relating to practical aspects and potential problems of HAART, perceptions of information from di…
Effects of Emotional Disclosure on Psychological and Physiological Outcomes in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: An Exploratory Home-based Study
The effects of an exploratory, home-based emotional disclosure intervention on psychological and physiological outcomes were assessed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients were randomly assigned to a disclosure group ( n = 19) in which they wrote/talked about traumatic personal experiences, or to a control group ( n = 15) in which they wrote/talked about the events of a particular day. Participants undertook these tasks for periods of 2…
Medicine in a multi-cultural society: The Effect of Cultural Background on Beliefs About Medications
The Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R)
This paper presents a revised version of the Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R), a recently developed and widely used quantitative measure of the five components of illness representations in Leventhal's self-regulatory model. The revised version stemmed from a need to deal with minor psychometric problems with two subscales, and to include additional subscales, assessing cyclical timeline perceptions, illness coherence, and emotional repre…
Perceptions of Haart among gay men who declined a treatment offer: Preliminary results from an interview-based study
As part of a prospective study of treatment decision making among people with HIV infection, we explored perceptions of HAART in a cohort who declined a treatment offer. This was a qualitative study in which 26 gay men were interviewed in relation to their views about HAART soon after treatment was recommended by their HIV physician. Fifteen themes were associated with the decision to decline HAART. These were grouped under three broad categories…
Reasons for non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy: Patients' perspectives provide evidence of multiple causes
The objective of the study was to define common reasons for non-adherence (NA) to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and the number of reasons reported by non-adherent individuals. A confidential questionnaire was administered to HIV-seropositive patients taking proteinase inhibitor based HAART. Median self-reported adherence was 95% (n = 178, range = 60-100%). The most frequent reasons for at least 'sometimes' missing a dose were eatin…
Patients' beliefs about prescribed medicines and their role in adherence to treatment in chronic physical illness
The beliefs about medicines questionnaire: The development and evaluation of a new method for assessing the cognitive representation of medication
This paper presents a novel method for assessing cognitive representations of medication: the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ). The BMQ comprises two sections: the BMQ-Specific which assesses representations of medication prescribed for personal use and the BMQ-General which assesses beliefs about medicines in general. The pool of test items was derived from themes identified in published studies and from interviews with chronically il…
