Objectives: To assess sleep characteristics of adolescents infected by HIV, and to ascertain whether psychosocial aspects are associated to the quality of sleep. Methods: A cross-sectional study assessing 102 HIV-infected adolescents of both genders, aged between 10 and 20 years-old and 120 Controls. Data collection was performed by applying the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Results: A sleep disturbance prevalence of 77.4% was found in patients, and a 75% prevalence in controls, and there was correlation between quality of sleep and of life. HIV-infected adolescents scored higher for sleep breathing disorders and had higher prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness. Conclusions: HIV-infected adolescents had similar quality of sleep compared to healthy adolescents. This may be explained by the steady improvements in daily living as a result of successful anti-retroviral therapy, and by the vulnerability that affects Brazilian adolescents living in major urban centers.

The aim of this study is to analyze the factors associated with sleep quality in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). It is a cross-sectional study with 314 PLHA. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess sleep quality. Socioeconomic, clinical and lifestyle habits were investigated through a structured anamnesis. Using the bivariate analysis, the differences between the sleep quality components in relation to the independent study variables were verified (p <0.10). Linear regression was performed following a multilevel hierarchical model for each sleep quality component (p ≤ 0.5). Regarding the sleep quality domains, there was an association with socioeconomic and clinical factors. Sleep latency with marital status; usual efficiency with marital status and use of HAART and sleep disorders with schooling. The study concludes that sleep latency and usual efficiency in PLHA are associated with marital status, while sleep quality with gender and sleep disturbance with scho...

This cross-sectional study evaluates the prevalence and factors associated with sleep disturbances in French adult HIV-infected outpatients. Patients fullfilled a self-administered questionnaire on their health behavior, sleep attitudes (Pittsburgh sleep quality index, PSQI), quality of life and depression; 1354 patients were enrolled. Median sleeping time was 7 h. Poor sleep quality was observed in 47 % of the patients, and moderate to serious depressive symptoms in 19.7 %. Factors significantly associated with sleep disturbances were depression, male gender, active employment, living single, tobacco-smoking, duration of HIV infection, nevirapine or efavirenzincluding regimen. Prevalence of poor sleepers is high in this HIV adult outpatient population. Associated factors seem poorly specific to HIV infection and more related to social and psychological status. Taking care of these disturbances may prove to be an effective health management strategy. Resumen Este estudio transversal evalúa la prevalencia y los factores asociados con los trastornos del sueño en adultos franceses pacientes en ambulatorio infectados por el VIH. Los pacientes completan un auto-cuestionario sobre su comportamiento de salud, las actitudes del sueño (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI), la calidad de vida y la depresión; 1354 pacientes fueron incluidos. La mediana del tiempo de sueño fue de 7 horas. La malacalidad del sueño se observó en el 47 % de los pacientes, y moderados a graves síntomas depresivos en 19,7 % de los pacientes. Los factores asociados significativamente con las alteraciones del sueño son: la depresión, el sexo masculino, trabajador activo, viviendo solo, fumador, la duración de la infección VIH, tratamiento nevirapina o efavirenz. La prevalencia de los trastornos del sueño es alta en esta población de pacientes adultos VIH en ambulatorio. Los factores asociados parecen poco relacionados a la infección VIH y más relacionados con el estatus social y psicológico. El cuidado de estos trastornos puede ser una estrategia eficaz en la gestión de la salud.

Objectives: Sleep disturbances are prevalent problems among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons. The recognition of comorbid sleep disorders in patients with HIV is currently hampered by limited knowledge of sleep-related symptoms, sleep architecture, and types of sleep disorders in this population. We aimed to compare the differences in sleep-related symptoms and polysomnography-based sleep disorders between HIV-infected persons and controls. Methods: The study evaluated 170 men with a Pittsburgh sleep quality index scores greater than 5, including 44 HIV-infected men and 126 male controls who were frequency-matched by sex, age (±3.0 years) and BMI (±3.0 kg/m2). For all participants, an overnight sleep study using a Somte V1 monitor was conducted. Differences in sleep-related symptoms and sleep disorders between HIV-infected patients and controls were examined using t-tests or chi-square tests. Results: HIV-infected persons with sleep disturbances more often had psy...

Based on Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, it has been reported that most human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients suffer from various degrees of sleep problems. Sleep disorders can affect quality of life, physical and social functioning and can also cause chronic fatigue. Some psychological and physiological factors are related to sleep quality. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate sleep quality and its related psychological and physiological factors in Iranian human immunodeficiency virus positive patients who were candidates for initiation of antiretroviral therapy. This was a cross- sectional study of 59 HIV positive out-patients in stages 2 or 3 of HIV disease who were candidates for initiation of antiretroviral therapy. Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and Somatization Subscale of Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) were used to assess the patients' sleep quality, depression, ...

The negative effects of sleep disturbances have been well documented in the general population and research shows individuals with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are particularly vulnerable to sleep difficulties. The medical and life quality issues effecting this population indicate the importance of characterizing the nature of these difficulties in terms of both sleep quality and quantity. With the extended life expectancies of HIV-positive persons, management of problems such as sleep disturbance is a vital aspect of improving quality of life. This study examined the sleep habits of persons living with HIV to determine sleep quality and identify possible targets for intervention. Results indicated that HIV-positive persons suffer diminished quality of sleep, high levels of insomnia, and high levels of nocturnal awakenings. Implications are discussed.
