Subject: [YP_Ke] Determinants of antiretroviral treatment adherence
among HIV/ AIDS patients: a multisite study
By Bach Xuan Tran, Long Thanh Nguyen, Nga Hoang Nguyen, Quynh Van Hoang,
Jongnam Hwang
Introduction: Adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART) is vital in
achieving virological treatment success. This study assessed the prevalence
of optimal ART adherence and its determinants among HIV/AIDS patients in
Vietnam.
Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1,016 HIV/AIDS patients
at seven hospitals and health centers providing antiretroviral treatment
services in three provinces, including Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Ho Chi Minh
City. Self-reported medication adherence was measured using a 30-day visual
analog scale (VAS) and 7-day missed-doses questions.
Results: The mean adherence VAS-score was 94.5 out of 100 (SD=8.2), ranging
from 40 to 100%. The rate of suboptimal adherence was 25.9%. The rate of
missed-doses was 25.2%. In multivariate analysis, increased perceived
self-efficacy, use of mobile phone alarms, and reminders from family
members were associated with optimal adherence; higher CD4 level, single
status, and unstable employment were associated with suboptimal adherence.
Conclusion: High rate of suboptimal adherence observed in this study
highlights the importance of adherence support interventions during ART.
The use of mobile phone reminders, involvement of relatives, and HIV
self-management training programs have the potential to improve ART
adherence in Vietnam.
