Abstract
AIMS: The aim of this study was to describe the relationships among home-based physical activity, fatigue, sleep, gender and quality of life in people living with HIV/AIDS BACKGROUND: Fatigue is a common and distressing symptom among people living with HIV/AIDS. Few interventions exist that effectively reduce fatigue in this population. Physical activity has shown promise to reduce fatigue in other populations, but its impact on fatigue in HIV/AIDS has not yet been explored. DESIGN: This study was conducted using a prospective, descriptive cohort design. METHODS: Overall, 90 adults living with HIV/AIDS completed cross-sectional measures. Home-based physical activity was measured using a 7-day self-report diary. Fatigue was measured using the self-reported HIV-Related Fatigue Scale. Sleep was assessed using wrist actigraphy and quality of life was assessed using the HIV-Associated Quality of Life Scale. Data were collected from December 2012-April 2013 and analysed using correlations and multiple linear regression. RESULTS: The number of minutes of home-based physical activity was significantly associated with reduced fatigue among people living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, increased fatigue was associated with decreased quality of life. No associations were found among fatigue, sleep or gender. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that physical activity in the home setting is an effective strategy to reduce fatigue among people living with HIV/AIDS. Future work developing and testing interventions to improve home-based physical activity in this population is needed.
