Quality of Life Clinical Trial
Official title:
Health Values and Spirituality in Veterans With HIV/AIDS
We have previously shown that: 1) time tradeoff utilities for current health are high, indicating that patients have a strong will to live; 2) half of patients felt that their life was better now than before they were HIV-infected; and 3) certain non-health-related factors such as spirituality and concern and love for one�s children correlated with health values and a sense that life has improved.
Background:
We have previously shown that: 1) time tradeoff utilities for current health are high,
indicating that patients have a strong will to live; 2) half of patients felt that their
life was better now than before they were HIV-infected; and 3) certain non-health-related
factors such as spirituality and concern and love for one�s children correlated with health
values and a sense that life has improved.
Objectives:
1) To assess health values of veterans and non-veterans with HIV/AIDS; 2) To characterize
spirituality in patients with HIV/AIDS; 3) To derive a power function relating health
ratings to utilities; and 4) To assess whether society assigns higher values to health
states for veterans than for non-veterans.
Methods:
We interviewed 100 representative veterans with HIV/AIDS from the Cincinnati and Pittsburgh
VAMCs and, concurrently, 350 non-veterans with HIV/AIDS from Cincinnati and Washington, DC,
twice over 12-18 months. The patient questionnaire included clinical and demographic data;
health values measures; a question comparing life now with life before being infected with
HIV; and measures of health status/health concerns, HIV symptoms, depressive symptoms,
spirituality/religion, adherence, social support, self-esteem, and optimism. We also
assessed how medical house officers rate and value the health state of a hypothetical
patient with congestive heart failure, identified either as a 72-year-old veteran or merely
as a 72-year-old male.
Status:
Data collection completed ahead of schedule. Several manuscripts published with others to be
submitted soon.
