The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has caused widespread devastation, with millions of confirmed cases and deaths worldwide. Although there were efforts made to develop treatments and vaccines for COVID‐19, the coexistence of sarcopenia, a muscle disorder, has been largely overlooked. It is while new variants of this disease (eg, BA.2.86) are challenging the current protocols. Sarcopenia is associated with increased mortality and disability, and shares common mechanisms with COVID‐19, such as inflammation, hormonal changes, and malnutrition. This can worsen the effects of both conditions. Furthermore, survived patients with COVID‐19 who have elevated risk, as well as aging, which increases the process of sarcopenia. Therefore, addressing sarcopenia in patients with COVID‐19 and surviving individuals can be crucial for improving outcomes and preventing long‐term disability. During hospital stays, assessing sarcopenia through indicators like muscle wasting and malnutrition is important. Nutritional interventions, such as malnutrition screening and enteral feeding, play a critical role in preventing sarcopenia in hospitals. Mental health and physical activity evaluations and interventions are also necessary. Even after recovering from COVID‐19, there is a risk of developing sarcopenia, requiring continued monitoring. Nutrition and physical activity considerations are vital for prevention and management, necessitating tailored training programs and diet therapy. Mental health should not be overlooked, with regular screening, and community‐based interventions. Infrastructure should support physical activity, and mental health services must become more accessible. Community engagement through support groups and peer networks can foster resilience and social connection. Efforts are needed to promote healthy diets and ensure access to nutritious foods.

“…Among Zimbabwean patients, Magodoro et al [22] have demonstrated an enormous burden of both co-morbidity and multi-morbidity through non-communicable among HIV-infected patients within high HIV and low income settings. The estimated health status of HIV patients affects negatively the influence of emotional and psychological well-being-health dimensions under consideration [23]. Patients presenting deteriorated conditions of health in comparison with that shown in the previous year expressed greater levels of tension/anxiety, depression/dejection, fatigue/inertia in addition to confusion/bewilderment behavior.…”

Several challenges confront those patients living and growing older with HIV disease with regard to non-communicable diseases, including cancer, addictive behaviors, fracture prevalence, heart disease and affective disorders, that present physical and mental health problems among the HIV positive [1-5]. Indeed, frailty and a conglomeration of behavioral risk factors are associated with multisystem co-morbid vulnerability that predict survival and multi-morbidity incidence among patients [6,7]. In a cohort of Romanian HIV patients, Streinu-Cercel et al. [8] observed moderately high prevalence of chronic renal disorders accompanied by moderately low occurrence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in comparison with these patents from other European countries with smoking addict an important risk factor renal and cardiac conditions, as well as impaired bone metabolism [9], for further bone health co-morbidities). Bolduc et al. [10] have listed several medical complications and multi-morbidities accompanied by multiple infection risk, including Pneumocystis jirocii, pneumonia, candida esophagitis, toxoplasmic encephalitis, tuberculosis, crytococcal meningitis, disseminate Mycobacterium avium complex, and cytomegalovirus retinitis, as well as 'wasting' syndrome and HIVencephalitis. According to the definitive study performed by Kilbourne et al. [11] among the most commonly observed HIV comorbidities presented by patients are to be included: oral candidiasis (21%), peripheral neuropathy (16%), and herpes zoster (16%) whereas those general medical comorbidities involved chemical hepatitis (53%), hypertension (24%), and hyperlipidemia (17%) with neuropsychiatric comorbidities offering a greater burden of disease among HIV-infected patients indicating that 32% of patients presented anxiety, 4% mania, 4% schizophrenia, and 11% cognitive impairment/dementia although estimations seem bedeviled by variations in symptom expression [12]. The seriousness of these latter cognitive deficits appears to constitute an especially heavy burden for everyday functioning and quality-oflife parameters [13,14]. The etiopathogenesis of the neuropsychiatric comorbidities, most particularly depressiveness and mood disorders, among HIV-infected patients affects deleteriously and markedly the quality-of-life, medication compliance, and disease prognosis in those afflicted; not least of all, the prevailing relationships between HIVrelated stigma, HIV-disclosure, social support networks, and mood and depression among patients await description and expression [15]. The situation is rendered even more serious in view of the inadequacy of certain regional public health medical services especially among minorities and vulnerable groups that require more effective health practices and long-term policies [16].

Objetivo: describir en profundidad la experiencia de personas con VIH durante el proceso de tratamientoy atención en instituciones de salud. Materiales y métodos: diseño de teoría fundamentada en entrevistas en profundidad a once personas con VIH que asistían a programas de atención ambulatoria en Cali, Colombia.Resultados: categoría central denominada: vivir con VIH es motor para el cambio de vida y seis categorías: experimentando los síntomas; sospechando el diagnóstico; recordando información sobre ser portadordel VIH; experimentando crisis existencial: el poder de las emociones; reconociendo la bondad de los medicamentosy obteniendo apoyo social: considerado aspecto fundamental.Conclusión: los participantes al recibir el diagnóstico experimentaron crisis existencial y emocional que conla ayuda de familiares, personal de salud, la pareja y los pares, les facilitó tomar conciencia de su estado actualy aceptar su situación; sus hábitos se tornaron saludables y la creencia en un ser superior se reafirmó.

Health and mood among HIV‐positive outpatients attending an ART Clinic of a University Hospital

Abstract: The results of this study indicate that nurses worldwide should be aware of the emotional aspects (negative emotions strongly impact health) related to the subjective perception of a worsening health status, regardless of the stage of the disease.
