Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the latest social service interventions to promote HIV medication adherence Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) can significantly improve the health outcomes of people living with HIV. Still, benefits rely on the steady adherence to the medication regimen as prescribed. Social Work and HIV: Challenges to Treatment Adherence is a practice-friendly resource with the latest HIV medication client adherence strategies and guidelines. This valuable book provides the tools for assessment of client adherence, and includes approaches and helpful guidelines to develop specialized counseling, social services, and provider training programs. Treatment plans for HIV can be complicated and client adherence can hinge on several diverse factors. Social Work and HIV: Challenges to Treatment Adherence explains in detail how professionals can help individuals with HIV to stick to the prescribed medication plan. This book focuses on the daunting psychosocial, spiritual, and biomedical challenges that social workers, social service professionals, and healthcare providers often encounter and provides strategies to effectively address these issues. Innovations in adherence counseling and provider training programs are explored. Practitioners will learn psychosocial interventions that are empirically based, with predictors of adherence closely examined on how they may vary by gender, socioeconomic, and ethnocultural diversity. Co-occurring health and behavioral conditions, such as substance use, are considered in detail. Chapters are extensively referenced and several have tables and figures to clearly present data. Topics in Social Work and HIV: Challenges to Treatment Adherence include: key themes within current treatment adherence research from the 2006 NIMH/IAPAC International Conference on HIV Treatment Adherence reviews of studies of psychosocial predictors of HAART among HIV positive clients research on the impact of support from partners, family, and health care providers has on medication adherence factors that predict medication adherence among HIV positive adults research on the differential effects of social and religious support and background variables on treatment adherence interventions to improve HAART adherence in methadone clinics specialized adherence counselors and their impact on adherence training to increase counselor knowledge of HIV medications, adherence strategies, and improved counseling skills studies on the prevalence of continued drug use and everyday adherence decision making Social Work and HIV: Challenges to Treatment Adherence is a valuable resource for social workers; substance abuse counselors; social service and other health care providers; researchers; educators; and policy advocates. The book is also a relevant supplemental text for graduate courses in counseling; multi-systems interventions; community health; social development practice; research methods; and program evaluation as offered through departments of social work, public health, nursing, health psychology, community medicine, and interdisciplinary health professional training programs.

Download or read book Patient Treatment Adherence written by Hayden B. Bosworth and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book summarizes the adherence literature for a number of specific health behaviors and populations. It provides a comprehensive source on the conceptualization, interventions, and measurement of treatment adherence and a synthesis of the research across demographic and chronic diseases. The text presents problems associated with treatment adherence; theoretical models that have commonly been used to understand, predict, and/or improve adherence; adherence with specific behaviors including exercise, diet, rehabilitation, medication, and psychological therapies; and strategies in enhancing adherence. Because chronic diseases involve similar behaviors, the handbook is organized by specific behaviors and special populations, and not by disease. Every chapter is sub-organized by specific diseases to ensure easy access for the readers and features a discussion of adherence across demographic and chronic conditions, a review of previous interventions directed at the particular behavior or population, questions and scoring algorithms for widely used measures of treatment adherence, a discussion of the clinical research, and where appropriate, policy implications. Patient Treatment Adherence addresses: practical recommendations to improve adherence; the impact of non-adherence including costs and health-related quality of life; methodological issues such as assessing cost-effectiveness; and the use of technological advances to improve adherence. Intended for health service professionals, health, clinical, social, and cognitive psychologists, primary care physicians, pharmacists, and policy-makers, this text is also an excellent resource for graduate courses on health psychology and public health.

Download or read book Denying AIDS written by Seth C. Kalichman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paralleling the discovery of HIV and the rise of the AIDS pandemic, a flock of naysayers has dedicated itself to replacing genuine knowledge with destructive misinformation—and spreading from the fringe to the mainstream media and the think tank. Now from the editor of the journal AIDS and Behavior comes a bold exposé of the scientific and sociopolitical forces involved in this toxic evasion. Denying AIDS traces the origins of AIDS dissidents disclaimers during the earliest days of the epidemic and delves into the psychology and politics of the current denial movement in its various incarnations. Seth Kalichman focuses not on the “difficult” or doubting patient, but on organized, widespread forms of denial (including the idea that HIV itself is a myth and HIV treatments are poison) and the junk science, faulty logic, conspiracy theories, and larger forces of homophobia and racism that fuel them. The malignant results of AIDS denial can be seen in those individuals who refuse to be tested, ignore their diagnoses, or reject the treatments that could save their lives. Instead of ignoring these currents, asserts Kalichman, science has a duty to counter them. Among the topics covered: Why AIDS denialism endures, and why science must understand it. Pioneer virus HIV researcher Peter Duesberg’s role in AIDS denialism. Flawed immunological, virological, and pharmacological pseudoscience studies that are central to texts of denialism. The social conservative agenda and the politics of AIDS denial, from the courts to the White House. The impact of HIV misinformation on public health in South Africa. Fighting fiction with reality: anti-denialism and the scientific community. For anyone affected by, interested in, or working with researchers in HIV/AIDS, and public health professionals in general, the insight and vision of Denying AIDS will inspire outrage, discussion, and ultimately action.

Download or read book Women and HIV written by Lorece V. Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background. HIV/AIDS is growing faster among African American women than any other segment of the population. The typical woman with HIV/AIDS is young, in her late twenties, economically challenged, and of childbearing age. Adherence to HIV therapies is critical if patients are to achieve and maintain virologic suppression. Of importance, adherence levels of ≥95% are required. Little is known about how low-income and minority women cope with HIV/AIDS. Yet in order to design effective interventions to ameliorate adherence, it is important to learn about the rationales that women use that support adherence. Additionally, it is imperative to identify the multiple sources of social influence that women use in structuring their adherence practices. Methods. Twenty HIV/AIDS infected women were recruited from an outpatient clinic. Data were collected through tape-recorded interviews using a semi-structured guide, journaling over a two-week period, and medical chart abstraction. In the journals, women wrote about the social facilitators and barriers to medication adherence. Findings. Results indicated that emotional support and trusting environments in which to discuss HIV/AIDS were unmet needs. Young children were perceived as a significant source of social support. Family was perceived as more supportive than friends with the exception of those actively using drugs. Further, age was associated with adherence. Among this cohort of women HIV/AIDS was perceived as a blessing or death sentence. Conclusions. Women who felt loved and cared for were more likely to be adherent. Supportive facilitators of adherence included: young children, spirituality, and supportive family members. HIV/AIDS self-disclosure appeared to increase health services utilization and medication adherence. Further, health beliefs were facilitators and barriers to medication adherence. -- Abstract.
