“…There has been longstanding interest in SRH in contexts of noncommunicable diseases [16,17,18,19], disability [20,21], and aging [22][23][24][25][26], with particular emphasis on its concordance with rating of patients' health by a clinical provider (i.e., clinician-rated health), severity of clinical disease, and relationships to engagement in care and treatment [27]. In certain populations with conditions other than HIV, SRH has been demonstrated to predict morbidity [28] and mortality [29][30][31][32].…”

Objective(s): To evaluate associations between self-rated health (SRH) and care outcomes among United States adults with diagnosed HIV infection. Design: We analyzed interview and medical record data collected during June 2020–May 2021 from the Medical Monitoring Project, a complex, nationally representative sample of 3,692 people with HIV (PWH). Respondents reported SRH on a 5-point Likert type scale (poor to excellent), which we dichotomized into “good or better” and “poor or fair”. We computed weighted percentages with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and age-adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) to investigate associations between SRH and HIV outcomes and demographic, psychosocial, and behavioral characteristics. Results: Nationally, 72% of PWH reported “good or better” SRH. PWH with the following characteristics had a lower prevalence of “good or better” SRH, compared with those without: any missed HIV care appointment in the last 12 months (aPR 0.86, 95% CI:0.81–0.91), symptoms of moderate or severe depression (aPR 0.51, 95% CI:0.43–0.59) and anxiety (aPR 0.60, 95% CI:0.54–0.68), unstable housing or homelessness (aPR 0.77, 95% CI:0.71–0.82), and hunger or food insecurity (aPR 0.74, 95% CI:0.69–0.80), as well as having a mean CD4 count <200 cells/mm3 vs. CD4 >500 cells/mm3 (aPR 0.70, 95% CI:0.57–0.86). Conclusions: Though SRH is a holistic measure reflective of HIV outcomes, integrated approaches addressing needs beyond physical health are necessary to improve SRH among PWH in the U.S. Modifiable factors like mental health, unstable housing or homelessness, and food insecurity warrant further study as potential high-yield targets for clinical and policy interventions to improve SRH among PWH.

“…COVID‐19 is still in the global pandemic stage, which seriously affects people's lives and physical and mental health, and hypertensive patients are more vulnerable than the general population in this context (Menawi et al., 2020). COVID‐19 has caused changes in lifestyle, such as socialization, travel and medical visits.…”

ObjectivesTo explore the mediating role of self‐esteem in social anxiety and QoL during the COVID‐19 local epidemic in China.DesignA cross‐sectional survey.MethodsThis study conveniently selected 344 hypertensive patients from a Grade‐A tertiary hospital in Wuhu, Anhui Province, as the study population. Participants completed the demographic questionnaire, the social phobia inventory, the self‐esteem scale and the 36‐item short‐form health survey.ResultsSocial anxiety, self‐esteem and QoL were significantly correlated with each other. Social anxiety showed no direct effect on QoL (β = 0.011, p > 0.05). Social anxiety showed an indirect effect on QoL (β = −0.248, p < 0.001). Self‐esteem fully mediated the association between social anxiety and QoL in hypertensive patients.Patient or Public ContributionHypertensive patients in this study were participants during the data collection process. Nursing staff from the cardiology department at the hospital of a hospital in Wuhu City, Anhui Province assisted in the recruitment phase of the data collection process.
