A pilot intervention to improve quality of life of people living with HIV through addressing sleep problems

Sleep problems are highly prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH) and have a major impact on their mental and physical health and quality of life. This pilot project aims to develop and test a psychosocial intervention to improve sleep quality. The intervention consists of guided psychoeducation and tailored cognitive-behavioural techniques. We will include 25 PLWH in follow-up at ITM clinic who indicate impaired sleep, to conduct the intervention and assess its acceptability and feasibility before broad implementation in clinical practice.
