Changes in caregiver psychosocial factors known to affect pediatric HIV disclosure
This comparative study analyzed changes in caregiver-related factors known to influence pediatric HIV disclosure using baseline data from two clinical trials in Ghana – Sankofa 1 (recruitment 2013–2016) and Sankofa 2 (recruitment 2021-2023). Changes in caregiver characteristics and psychosocial domains were measured using validated instruments: social support (Social Provisions Scale), HIV knowledge (Brief HIV Knowledge Questionnaire), illness pe…
Barriers and Opportunities for HPV Self-Sampling in Underserved Rural Communities
Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in rural areas with limited access to screening. This study explored factors influencing rural Kenyan women's willingness to self-collect samples for HPV-DNA testing. Data were drawn from a mixed methods study in two Kenyan rural counties, including surveys with 174 women and interviews with 21 participants. The mean age of the survey sampl…

Understanding human papillomavirus vaccine response and efficacy in people living with HIV
Coinfection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and HIV compounds the risks of developing cervical, anal, and HPV-associated oral neoplasia. Safe prophylactic vaccines are available to prevent HPV infections in people with HIV(PWH). Yet, vaccine efficacy and duration of protection remain questionable. Historically, the efficacy of vaccines has been suboptimal in PWH compared to people without HIV (PWoH).A systematic review of HPV vaccine trials in PW…
A global matchmaking web platform facilitating equitable institutional partnerships and mentorship to strengthen health workforce training capacity
The critical human resources deficit in the healthcare sector in low-resource settings (LRS) has an overwhelming impact on health outcomes and disparities in growth and development of the global healthcare workforce. There is a lack of qualified trainers and mentors and this makes it challenging to connect existing capacity gaps with existing expertise and established programs. Through global health partnerships, training programs, and mentorship…

Predictors of nursing leadership in Uganda
Evidence regarding the role of nurses-in-leadership and how to engage nurses in policy decisions is minimal in sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of this study was: (1) to assess the leadership practices of nurses-in-leadership in Uganda (by self-report) and from the perspective of ‘followers’ (direct-report, peers, co-workers, other); and (2) to determine factors (positively) associated with leadership practices. We surveyed 480 nurses, 120 in lead…
High prevalence of non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy among undisclosed HIV-infected children in Ghana
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains one of the greatest obstacles in pediatric HIV care. We sought to determine the prevalence of adherence to ART among undisclosed HIV-infected children and adolescents in Ghana. We analyzed baseline data from HIV-infected children and adolescents aged 7-18 years old enrolled in the SANKOFA Pediatric HIV disclosure intervention study in Ghana. Antiretroviral medication adherence was measured using c…
Prevalence and correlates of depression among caregivers of children living with HIV in Ghana
Prior studies show an association between caregiver depression and child health outcomes. There has been little examination of depression among caregivers of HIV-infected children in sub-Saharan countries where pediatric HIV is concentrated. Using baseline data collected in the pediatric HIV disclosure intervention trial, Sankofa, we examined the prevalence and factors associated with depression among caregivers (N = 446) of children infected wit…
Preferences for an HIV prevention mobile phone app
Findings suggest that the design of an app targeting MSM in China should use an integrated framework addressing behavioral and psychological aspects, satisfy common needs of potential users, avoid perpetuating negative stereotypes and stigma, and avoid possible increase of risk behavior due to using the app
Quality of life in HIV-infected Chinese women and their family caregivers
China is experiencing a rapid increase in the number of HIV-infected women. In this study, we describe the development and preliminary evaluation of an intervention tailored for Chinese HIV-infected women and caregivers to improve their self- and family management, with goals of enhancing their physical quality of life (QOL) and decreasing their depressive symptomatology. Forty-one HIV-infected women and their caregivers were recruited from two p…
HIV knowledge, stigma, and illness beliefs among pediatric caregivers in Ghana who have not disclosed their child's HIV status
The majority of HIV-infected children in sub-Saharan Africa have not been informed of their HIV status. Caregivers are reluctant to disclose HIV status to their children because of concern about the child's ability to understand, parental sense of guilt, and fear of social rejection and isolation. We hypothesized that the low prevalence of pediatric HIV disclosure in Ghana is due to lack of accurate HIV information and high HIV stigma among careg…
Sankofa pediatric HIV disclosure intervention cyber data management
Prevalence of pediatric HIV disclosure is low in resource-limited settings. Innovative, culturally sensitive, and patient-centered disclosure approaches are needed. Conducting such studies in resource-limited settings is not trivial considering the challenges of capturing, cleaning, and storing clinical research data. To overcome some of these challenges, the Sankofa pediatric disclosure intervention adopted an interactive cyber infrastructure fo…

Processes of Self‐Management in Chronic Illness
Purpose: Self‐management is a dynamic process in which individuals actively manage a chronic illness. Self‐management models are limited in their specification of the processes of self‐management. The purpose of this article is to delineate processes of self‐management in order to help direct interventions and improve health outcomes for individuals with a chronic illness. Design: Qualitative metasynthesis techniques were used to analyze 101 stud…
A City Consumed
Though now remembered as an act of anti-colonial protest leading to the Egyptian military coup of 1952, the Cairo Fire that burned through downtown stores and businesses appeared to many at the time as an act of urban self-destruction and national suicide. The logic behind this latter view has now been largely lost. Offering a revised history, this book looks to the decades leading up to the fire to show that the lines between foreign and native …

Prevalence, correlates, and self-management of HIV-related depressive symptoms
Depressive symptoms are highly prevalent yet undertreated in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHAs). As part of a larger study of symptom self-management (N=1217), this study examined the prevalence, correlates, and characteristics (intensity, distress, and impact) of depressive symptoms, and the self-care strategies used to manage those symptoms in PLHAs in five countries. The proportion of respondents from each country in the total sample reportin…
Does “asymptomatic” mean without symptoms for those living with HIV infection
Throughout the history of the HIV epidemic, HIV-positive patients with relatively high CD4 counts and no clinical features of opportunistic infections have been classified as "asymptomatic" by definition and treatment guidelines. This classification, however, does not take into consideration the array of symptoms that an HIV-positive person can experience long before progressing to AIDS. This short report describes two international multi-site st…
Symptom management and self-care for peripheral neuropathy in HIV/Aids
Peripheral neuropathy is the most common neurological complication in HIV and is often associated with antiretroviral therapy. As part of a larger study on self-care for symptoms in HIV disease, this study analyzed the prevalence and characteristics of peripheral neuropathy in HIV disease, sociodemographic and disease-related correlates and self-care strategies. A convenience sample of 1,217 respondents was recruited from data collection sites in…
Stigma, HIV and Aids
Stigma is a social construction which dramatically affects the life experiences of the individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and their partners, family and friends. While it has been generally recognized that the nature of stigma varies across illnesses, it has usually not been considered as changing and emerging over the course of a single illness. In this paper, HIV/AIDS is analyzed in terms of a stigma trajectory. Th…

Television Structures and Adolescent Viewing Patterns
The television systems of Sweden and the United States are different in very interesting ways, stemming from a combination of historical, economic, technical and cultural factors. This study investigated viewer behaviour in these two different systems, using variables constructed from television viewing diaries and questionnaire responses. Results showed five clusters of viewer behaviours for each country, with a general similarity in clusters be…
Emotions and Care‐seeking During Acute Myocardial Infarction
In this paper, a theoretical and applied understanding is brought to the study of acute myocardial infarction [AMI] care‐seeking behavior. The time between the onset of an AMI and the initiation of definitive medical care is presently the single most important factor impeding reduced mortality and improved morbidity from thrombolytic therapy. It is suggested that the acknowledged, yet relatively neglected, area of emotional response is a key elem…

In memoriam
Lincoln Kirstein straddled twice two worlds: Europe and America, the past and the present. He showed, through Balanchine, how the European art of ballet could acquire an American accent; and with his own extraordinary intellectual capacity he showed how ballet, familiarly called the most ephemeral of the arts, could have a past as well as a present. Lincoln was fond of quoting Saint Augustine (who was writing of souls, not art): understand with c…

The problem of antiretroviral adherence
Controlled trials that determine which interventions can significantly improve adherence to combination antiretroviral regimens are urgently needed. Rates of adherence to the regimens are often sub-optimal, and while a variety of factors that are predictive or associated with antiretroviral adherence have been identified, few research findings are reported of interventions that effectively promote adherence and improve health outcomes. Further, t…
Gender Differences in Quality of Life Among Cardiac Patients
OBJECTIVE: Prior studies of quality of life among cardiac patients have examined mostly men. This study evaluated gender differences in quality of life and examined the degree to which social support was associated with quality of life. METHODS: A sample of 536 patients (35% women) was recruited during a 14-month period from the inpatient cardiology service of a University-based hospital. Participants completed assessments at baseline and at 3-mo…

Balancing disfigurement and fear of disease progression
This study was conducted to identify and describe the perceived morphologic changes of body fat redistribution and related distress among persons taking combination antiretroviral therapy. Six focus group interviews were conducted in four different US cities with men and women (n = 58) who reported antiretroviral-related symptoms of body fat loss and/or gain. Interview data were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim and systematically analysed using i…

Unhealthy behaviours for self-management of HIV-related peripheral neuropathy
The prevalence of peripheral neuropathy is frequent in HIV disease and is often associated with antiretroviral therapy. Unhealthy behaviours, particularly substance-use behaviours, are utilized by many HIV-positive individuals to manage neuropathic symptoms. As part of a larger study on self-care for symptoms in HIV disease, this study analyzed the prevalence and characteristics of unhealthy behaviours to self-manage peripheral neuropathy in HIV …
