Participants were randomly allocated to receive either six weekly intervention sessions or standard care. Nonlinear mixed-effects models were performed to compare changes in empowerment scores over time. Between September and November 2014, 1447 individuals were screened, of whom 132 were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The mean scores of empowerment, social support and quality of life increased and stigma scores were reduced in the intervention group at 3- and 6-months. An intervention effect on social support, stigma and QoL was significantly increased by time and group with low and high empowerment. No adverse events were reported. The empowerment intervention was efficacious in improving QoL of HIV infected people. Hemos desarrollado un fortalecimiento completo y cultural applicable a la intervenci ón social del paquete del valor propio con la intención de evaluar su eficacia para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas infectadas por el VIH que están recibiendo ART. A los participantes se les adjudicó aleatoriamente la asignación de seis dosis semanales o los cuidados estandar. El resultado de los efectos se presentó para comparar los cambios en los valores del fortalecimiento a lo largo del tiempo. Entre septiembre y noviembre de 2014, 1447 individuos fueron moritonizados, de los cuales 132 fueron aleatoriamente asignados para cada intervención o grupo de control. La media del valor del fortalecimiento, apoyo social y calidad de vida incrementaron y los valores del estigma fueron reducidos en la intervención grupal entre 3 y 6 meses. Los efectos de una intervención al apoyo social, estigma y calidad de vida se incrementaron significativamente en ese periodo y el grupo con un bajo y alto fortalecimiento. No hubo efectos secundarios notificados. La intervención en el fortalecimiento fue satisfactoria en la mejora de la calidad de vida de la gente infectada por el VIH. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
