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.

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.

Download or read book Physician patient Relationships and Self reported Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence Among HIV positive Latinos Along the U S Mexico Border written by R. Santiago and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research is lacking on the association between patient-physician relationships and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among HIV-positive U.S. Latinos, who are disproportionately infected with HIV/AIDS and face barriers to HIV care and treatment. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between patient-physician dialogue surrounding adherence and ART adherence, to inform potential areas of intervention to improve patient-provider communication surrounding adherence. This project is a part of a parent study entitled: "Barriers to Care and Treatment Practices in HIV-positive Latinos in the US-Mexico Border Region" whose aims are to assess binational health care seeking behavior, barriers to HIV care and HIV treatment utilization among HIV-positive Latinos along the US-Mexico border. Participants in San Diego, U.S. and Tijuana, Mexico answered a survey administered by trained interviewers, those who responded to questions from physician-patient relationship quality scale measures "Overall communication" and "Adherence dialogue" with their physician (Schneider et al., 2004) (n=199) were included in this study. We used logistic regression to identify factors independently associated with high satisfaction with both overall communication and adherence dialogue. Participants were 41 years old (SD=10), 77% male, single (67%), and with less than a high school education (61%). Being male, high school educated or having made 1 or more round trip border crossings in the last 6 months were associated with increased odds of high satisfaction with overall patient-provider communication and patient-provider ART adherence dialogue (p
