Abstract

Introduction: Adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART) is critical for the success of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infectiontreatment. There is no approved consensus that defines adherence. In this study, it was aimed to examine the adherence rate of ourpatients with high-efficacy ART and to determine the factors affecting treatment adherence.Materials and Methods: Seventy-two patients admitted to the study between January 1, 2018 and July 31, 2018 with the diagnosisof HIV/AIDS who received ART for at least three months and agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. The effectof treatment adherence was investigated by examining the sociodemographic and clinic characteristics and laboratory findings, andmoods of the patients. Treatment adherence of the patients was evaluated with the Center for Adherence Support Evaluation (CASE)adherence questionnaire and pill counting method. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale questionnaire was used to investigate theeffect of depression severity on treatment adherence in patients.Results: Of the patients, 72.2% were males and 27.8% were females. Mean age of the patients was 44.9 ± 14.8 years. Of thepatients, 59.7% were defined as treatment compatible. Sixty (83.3%) patients used a single tablet regimen. The most commonly usedcombination was tenofovir alafenamide-emtricitabine-elvitegravir-cobicistate. Patients’ age, disease duration, frequency of follow-upclinic, depressive mood, substance use, and HIV positivity in their partners were found effective on treatment adherence. However, sex,marital and educational status, occupation, residential area, transmission route, duration on ART, ART regimen, ART treatment revision,recent CD4+ T lymphocyte count, recent viral load, side effect, additional treatments, antibiotic prophylaxis, smoking habit, alcoholuse, comorbidity, co-infection were not statistically associated with treatment adherence. Conclusion: Sufficient awareness should be created by allocating enough time to patients, and patients should be followed up morefrequently. Since alcohol and substance use affects treatment adherence, support should be sought from relevant institutions to limitalcohol and substance use in patients. Depressive mood is more common in HIV/AIDS patients compared to the normal populationand negatively affects treatment adherence.

Özet

Giriş: Antiretroviral tedaviye (ART) uyum İnsan Bağışıklık Yetmezliği Virüsü (HIV) infeksiyonu tedavisinde başarılı olmak için kritik nokta dır. Uyumu tanımlayan kabul görmüş ortak bir görüş mevcut değildir. Bu çalışmada, hastalarımızın yüksek etkinlikli ART’ye uyum oranınıincelemek ve tedavi uyumunu etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metod: 1 Ocak 2018–31 Temmuz 2018 tarihleri arasında polikliniğe başvuran HIV/AIDS tanısıyla takipli, en az üç ay ARTkullanım öyküsü olan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 72 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların sosyodemografik ve klinik özellikleri,laboratuvar bulguları ve duygu durumları incelenerek uyuma etkisi araştırıldı. Hastaların tedavi uyumu CASE uyum anketi ve hap sayımmetodu ile değerlendirildi. Hastalarda tedavi uyumuna depresyon şiddetinin etkisini araştırmak için Hamilton Depresyon Değerlendirmeölçeği anketi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Hastaların %72.2’si erkek, %27.8’i kadındı. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 44.9 ± 14.8 yıldı. Hastalarımızın %59.7’si tedaviyeuyumlu olarak tanımlandı. 60 (%83.3) hasta tek tablet rejimi kullandı. En sık kullanılan kombinasyon tenofovir alafenamid-emtrisita bin-elvitegravir-kobisistat idi. Hastaların yaşı, hastalık süresi, klinik takip sıklığı, depresif duygu durum, madde kullanımı ve partnerle rinde HIV pozitifliğinin tedaviye uyum üzerinde etkili olduğu bulundu. Ancak cinsiyet, medeni ve eğitim durumu, meslek, yerleşim yeri,bulaşma yolu, ART kullanma süresi, ART rejimi, ART tedavi revizyonu, son CD4+ T lenfosit sayısı, son viral yük, yan etki, ek tedaviler,antibiyotik profilaksisi, sigara alışkanlığı, alkol kullanımı, komorbidite, koinfeksiyon istatistiksel olarak tedaviye uyumuyla ilişkili değildi. Sonuç: Hastalara yeterli zaman ayırılarak gerekli farkındalık oluşturulmalı ve hastalar daha sık aralıklarla izlenmelidir. Alkol ve maddekullanımı tedavi uyumunu etkilediğinden, hastalarda alkol ve madde kullanımını sınırlandırmaya yönelik olarak ilgili kurumlardan des tek alınmalıdır. HIV/AIDS hastalarında depresif duygu durumu normal popülasyona göre daha yaygın olup tedavi uyumunu olumsuzetkilemektedir.
