Experiences engaging in a group-based physiotherapist-led exercise programme for adults living with HIV and complex multimorbidity: a qualitative study
Conclusions Features of the programme that facilitated engagement included the interprofessional, group-based environment that offered tailored exercise in an HIV-specific facility, whereby participants perceived benefits in domains of health and disability. However, challenges transitioning to independent exercise remain. Group-based PT-led exercise programmes may facilitate engagement in exercise among adults living with HIV and complex multimorbidity.

What to use instead of NICE Evidence Search - a first thought
I have been promoting NICE Evidence Search much more systematically this year to " my " first year undergraduates in their first library session.  It is also on the resource lists I ' ve made for each of their courses.  I like the idea that there is one source, where all the results have been evaluated by health information professionals, and I ' ve suggested it ' s a good first place to search for any health topic.  But NICE Evidence Search is closing at the end of March 2022.  So what to use instead?NICE Evidence Search has two lists of sources, one of sites where some of the content is...

What to use instead of NICE Evidence Search - some recommendations (sort of)
In an earlier post I searched NICE Evidence Search (closing at the end of March 2022) and then a number of other sources to see which other sources would find the material.I found 27 results (vertigo epley was the search) in NICE Evidence Search.  5 were systematic reviews from DARE, which I decided I was not too worried about, as DARE has not been updated for some timeThen there were results from PubMed, Cochrane, BestBets, CKS, four health organisations, Patient.info, NICE and the Royal Australian College of GPs.SearchingCochraneitself found one more Cochrane review than NICE Evidence Search did.  So, more...

HIV advocacy: knowledge translation and implementation at three diverse sites in sub-Saharan Africa
CONCLUSIONS: This research adds to the call to shift the focus of HIV care from just test-and-treat, or on just keeping people alive, towards a broader approach that centres the whole person, that focuses not only on surviving but on thriving, and which commits to the goal of optimising functioning and living full, whole lives with HIV. Advocacy across the continuum of care plays a pivotal role in translating research findings into practice.Implications for rehabilitationResults are relevant for policymakers in government and at senior levels within universities whose mandates include informing, reviewing, and driving educ...

"When I was no longer able to see and walk, that is when I was affected most": experiences of disability in people living with HIV in South Africa.
Conclusions: More understanding of the intersections among HIV, disability, gender and livelihood is needed. To respond to the increased need to manage disability within HIV care in Africa, HIV programs should include rehabilitative approaches, address concerns related to livelihoods in households with disability and consider gender differences in the experience of disability. Implications for Rehabilitation HIV, its opportunistic infections and the treatments associated to them are related to health conditions and impairments that have the potential to develop into disability. Rehabilitation professionals in HIV endemic c...

HIV-related disability and rehabilitation: perception of health care workers.
Conclusion: Health care workers perceived a shift from a biomedical perspective of disability to a bio-psychosocial interpretation that is influenced by contextual and environmental barriers imposed by communities on people living with HIV. Barriers included stigmatisation that leads to attitudinal barriers and social exclusion of people living with HIV and experiencing disabilities within communities. Lack of resources, including of equipment, and a shortage of health care staff also posed barriers to the care offered to people living with HIV and experiencing disabilities. Participants agreed that improved communication ...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with life-threatening illnesses in intensive care receive management that improves their chances for survival. The physical outcomes of individuals infected with HIV who survive an intensive care unit (ICU) stay are not well known. The purpose was to describe the physical outcomes of ICU survivors in a high HIV prevalent area and highlight challenges as it relates to study feasibility. A pilot study at a tertiary-care university-affiliated hospital was done. Participants were assessed at ICU and ward admissi...
