A Home-Based Rehabilitation Intervention for Adults Living With HIV: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: A randomized controlled trial was conducted to investigate the effects of a 16-week home-based rehabilitation (HBR) intervention on the quality of life, functional mobility, and functional capacity of adult people living with HIV (PLWH) on antiretroviral therapy in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The intervention was carried out by community health care workers under the supervision of a qualified physical therapist. Participants in the control group received the standard of care as well as written health advice.… Show more

“…Members of our collaborative led foundational work examining reasons for referral, and effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions, specifically the role and impact of physiotherapy-led models of care for adults living with HIV in the United Kingdom (37), United States (62), Canada (32,33) and South Africa (76)(77)(78)(79). Better understanding the biological, social and behavioural factors that interact with HIV and aging can help to identify effective rehabilitation interventions that promote well-being in this growing population (80).…”

“…The registration status of five included trials was indeterminate (Cao, Tian, Chen, & Jiang, ; Cobbing, Hanass‐Hancock, & Myezwa, ; Jensen, Kiesbye, Soendergaard, Jensen, & Kristensen, ; Salameh et al, ; Valiee, Razavi, Aghajani, & Bashiri, ). When we checked the registration status of the Cobbing et al () trial, the registration number in the paper was not listed in the registry (South African National Clinical Trials Registry). The author was contacted.…”

“…Cross-sectional data from South Africa exploring the links between ART, disability and livelihoods underscore the need to better understand the rehabilitation needs of people on ART [42,43]. A growing evidence base is beginning to explore the role of rehabilitation in addressing the needs of adults and children living with HIV (e.g., [44,45]) but reviews emphasise that evidence is limited and more research is needed [46,47]. Providers and researchers recommend integrating rehabilitation approaches into HIV treatment care and support services, in order to address the disabling comorbidities of HIV and to make tangible improvements to life on ART; however, more evidence is needed to establish how to implement the service integration to improve access to care, improve communications and measure outcomes [40,[48][49][50].…”

Strategies with the potential to address transport and access barriers and to confer physical and psychological benefits for people living with HIV and disability (especially in resource-poor settings where access to institution-based rehabilitation is limited) include home-based rehabilitation and task-shifting [44,51,52].…”
