Quality of life (QOL) has been considered as an important outcome indicator in holistic care for HIV-infected people, especially as HIV/AIDS transforms from a fatal illness to a chronic condition. This study aimed to identify trends and emerging topics among research concerning the QOL of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The analyzed data were English papers published from 1996 to 2017, searched and extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection. Collaborations between countries and the correlation between the keywords were visualized by VOSviewer while the abstracts’ content was analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and Jaccard’s’ similarity index. There has been an increase in both the number of publications and citations. The United Nations of America leads in terms of paper volume. The cross-nation collaborations are mainly regional. Despite a rather comprehensive coverage of topics relating to QOL in PLWHA, there has evidently been a lack of studies focusing on socio-cultural factors and their impacts on the QOL of those who are HIV-infected. Further studies should consider investigating the role of socio-cultural factors, especially where long-term treatment is involved. Policy-level decisions are recommended to be made based on the consideration of cultural factors, while collaborations between developed and developing nations, in particular in HIV/AIDS-ridden countries, are strongly recommended.

“…Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), like other global regions, records a high prevalence of depression among people living with HIV (PLHIV) [ 1 , 2 ]. In the context of this review, depression, also known as major depressive disorder (MDD), refers to a mental disorder ‘characterized by low mood, diminished self-worth, pessimistic thoughts, poor concentration, and biological symptoms (that of poor appetite and sleep difficulties) and increased withdrawal from social activities’ [ 3 , 4 ]. In the context of this review, HIV-seropositive ‘men who have sex with men’ (MSM) refers to men who have sex with men regardless of their sexual orientation, romantic attraction or identity [ 5 ].…”

Mapping evidence of depression in HIV-seropositive MSM in sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review protocol

2021

Background Depression is one of the most prevalent mental disorders among an estimated 25.6 million people living with HIV (PLHIV) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The depression rate is higher in HIV-seropositive men who have sex with men (MSM) regardless of their sexual orientation, identity or romantic attraction. This is due to various types of stigma including HIV-related stigma, social stigma, self-stigma and mental health stigma. Opportunistic infections, unemployment, poverty and food insecurity also predispose HIV-seropositive MSM to depression. Moreover, depression in heterosexual and sexual minority groups challenges and additionally burdens SSA health care systems due to inadequate economic developments, lack of mental health professionals who specialise in the treatment of depression, few MSM-centred facilities, inadequate mental health infrastructure (hospitals and clinics) and complimentary resources. Although studies have highlighted links between mental health disorder, an HIV diagnosis and sexual minority groups, there is limited research that focusses on depression and its causal factors in MSM living with HIV in SSA. Hence, the relevance of conducting this scoping review. Methods A scoping review guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, the enhancements and recommendations of Levac, Colquhoun and O’Brien, Daudt and associates and the 2015 Johanna Briggs Institute’s guidelines will be conducted. Systematic electronic searches of databases and search engines such as Google, Google Scholar, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), MEDLINE (Ovid), and PsycInfo (Ovid) will be conducted to attain published peer-reviewed articles of all study designs. Grey literature will be sourced from media and conference abstracts and reports, governmental reports and unpublished dissertations and theses. Additionally, websites of humanitarian organisations and other relevant departmental websites will also be searched. Literature published between 2010 and 2020 that meets the review’s inclusion criteria, research question and sub-question will be included in this review. All the retrieved literature will be exported to an Endnote X9.2 library after duplicates have been removed. Discussion We anticipate mapping relevant literature on depression and the causal factors in HIV-seropositive MSM living in SSA. Once analysed and summarised, the data will be useful in identifying literature gaps, informing systematic reviews and future research. The findings could also assist in depression and sexuality dialogues, and awareness campaigns that address mental health issues, stigma and discrimination among this key population living in SSA.

“…Depression is the most common psychological disorder with TB-HIV (Larson et al, 2017). Depression characterized by persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities that people normally enjoy, accompanied by an inability to carry out daily activities, poor concentration, pessimistic thoughts and biological symptoms (poor appetite and sleep difficulties) (Kim et al, 2015;Tran et al, 2019).

Introduction: The most common psychological problem in TB-HIV coinfection patients is depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an intervention that encourages participants to change their relationships with their thoughts and physical sensations through mechanisms of acceptance and value-based action. This present study has been carried out to investigate the effectiveness of ACT in treating TB-HIV coinfection patients.Methods: This research was a quasi-experiment. This study involved 62 respondents diagnosed TB-HIV coinfection by doctor, experienced mild depression to severe depression, able to communicate well and have not hearing loss. ACT was given by a researcher with six sessions) one session per day) held in the intervention group. Data were collected using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) questionnaires. Data analysis use paired t-test to determine the differences in value of depression on pre-test and post-test in each group. Data were analyzed using the independent t-test to determine the effect of ACT on depression.Results: The majority of respondents were male (66.1%). Most of the early adult and older adult respondents had moderate depression, while middle-aged adult mostly had severe depression (50%). The fully unemployed respondents had severe depression (100%). The analysis results showed that there was a more significant decrease in depression in the intervention group given ACT compared to the control group (p value =0.00).Conclusion: ACT has an effect on reduce depression of TB-HIV coinfection patients. ACT is recommended to be developed as a nursing intervention that can be given to patients who are depressed.
