“…PLWH have an elevated risk for anxiety disorders due to social stigma, uncertainty regarding their disease, and issues of disclosure, and social isolation may contribute to fatigue. 17 First, anxiety has been associated with higher levels of sleep disturbance among PLWH, predisposing them to fatigue due to inability to get adequate rest. 17 Furthermore, medications used to treat anxiety (e.g.…”

“…anxiety and stress). 17,30 In addition to inability to sleep, the aforementioned factors can diminish the quality of sleep resulting experiences of physical and mental fatigue, depression, and excessive daytime sleepiness. 5,28,29 Finally, PLWH may turn to the use of substances or caffeine intake to help them sleep or to cope with fatigue or psychological symptoms, 2 but studies have found that such actions often exacerbate sleep disturbances thus perpetuating fatigue rather than eliminating it.…”

“…People living with HIV (PLWH) as well as people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) may experience multiple forms of stigma, all of which can negatively impact their health, quality of life, social support and well-being (Logie and Gadalla 2009 ; Slater et al 2015 ). In addition, HIV-positive individuals may suffer from many psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression (Kee et al 2015 ; Robertson et al 2014 ), sleep disturbance (Leyro et al 2014 ), substance abuse (Chander et al 2006 ) and HIV-related fatigue (Barroso et al 2010 ).…”

We investigated the relationship between religious fundamentalism, satisfaction with life and the intensity of posttraumatic stress symptoms in people living with HIV/ AIDS. The study was conducted on 283 adults, including 242 HIV-positive patients and 41 individuals with AIDS, aged from 20 to 74. Religious fundamentalism was positively correlated with age and posttraumatic stress symptoms intensity. Negative correlation between satisfaction with life and posttraumatic stress intensity was also found. Religious fundamentalism and satisfaction with life accounted for 34% of the variance in posttraumatic stress symptoms intensity. The level of patients' education mediated the relationship between religious fundamentalism and the posttraumatic stress symptoms intensity.

Fatigue is a subjective, unpleasant, potentially disabling symptom rooted in physiological, psychological, and behavioral causes. People living with HIV are a population highly affected by fatigue due to risk factors associated with HIV-infection, treatment, and psychosocial disease burden. People with HIV are living longer, and are facing the challenge of a longer disease trajectory. Palliative nurses with expertise in symptom management can play a crucial role in helping people with HIV to engage in health behaviors that prevent or mitigate fatigue. In this paper we present a definition and overview of fatigue, describe the problem of fatigue in people living with HIV, and present a case study that illustrates the role of the palliative nurse in helping a person with HIV to cope with fatigue. Fatigue Fatigue is a subjective, unpleasant, potentially disabling symptom characterized by physical and/or psychological exhaustion, experienced both acutely and chronically, that results impaired function. 1,2 In states of fatigue, individuals experience an imbalance between their available physical and psychological resources and the resources required for optimal functioning. 2 Fatigue has been associated with depression, chronic disease states, prolonged exertion, stress, sleep disturbance and inactivity. 2 Although fatigue is often discussed in the context of physical weakness and sleepiness, 2 it is a multidimensional symptom that also impacts judgment, decision-making, motivation, and awareness. 3 Fatigue in People Living with HIV Fatigue affects nearly 90% of PLWH 3 and has been reported as one of the most persistent and troubling symptoms they experience. While a direct link between HIV and fatigue remains elusive, 3 PLWH have an elevated risk of fatigue related to hematologic and metabolic changes that are a direct result of HIV infection and treatment, as well as psychological and psychosocial stressors that have been linked with high fatigue symptom burden 2,4,5 (Figure 1). Physiological Factors Anemia (generally defined as hemoglobin [Hgb] <13 in men; <12 in women] is common in PLWH, affecting more than 70% of individuals diagnosed. 4,6 Anemia in PLWH is multifactorial and can be caused by chronic inflammation, medication side effects,
