Abstract

The global impact of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) includes anxiety disorders, which further worsen the impact and are associated with poor medication adherence, recurrent hospitalization, and poorer outcomes. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and correlates of anxiety disorders among CALWHA attending antiretroviral clinics at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital. It was a comparative cross-sectional study, adopting a random systematic sampling method. The instruments used were the socio-demographic questionnaire, clinical proforma, and the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Aged Children Present and Lifetime Version (K-SAD-PL). Data analysis was done using SPSS version 26. The study population comprises 83 males (51.9%) and 77 females (48.1%). The participants ranged from 6-18 years, with a mean age of 11.4 years (SD=3.15). The prevalence of anxiety disorders among CALWHA is 22.0%. The disclosure of HIV status to CALWHA was more likely to be associated with any anxiety disorder. This was even still significant statistically after adjusting for gender (OR=2.8, CI=1.1-7.1 and (OR=2.8, CI=1.1-7.1) respectively. There is a high prevalence of anxiety disorders among the CALWHA. We, therefore, recommend the need to integrate mental health services into the care of HIV and reinforce consultation liaison psychiatry among children and adolescents.

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports the global impact of chronic conditions as profound, associated with neuropsychiatric comorbidities, and thus affecting Quality of Life (QoL). This study assessed neuropsychiatric morbidity and the association with QoL among older adults with chronic conditions at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. A comparative cross-sectional analytic design was utilised to recruit 327 older adults aged 60 years and above for six months, then proportionally distributed into four groups. The Community Screening Instrument for Dementia (CSID), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30) and WHO Quality-of-Life for the Old (WHOQOL-OLD) were administered. Data was analysed using the SPSS version 27.0. Neuropsychiatric morbidity was associated with lower QoL in all four groups. In HTN, QoL was significantly lower in one domain, AUT (t=3.95, p<0.001). For DM only, in two, AUT (t=4.35, p<0.001) and DAD (t=6.65, p<0.001). For Arthritis only, in three, SAB (t=6.92, p<0.001), AUT (t=11.46, p<0.001), and PPF (t=4.02, p<0.001). In HTN+DM, in two, SAB (t=5.37, p<0.001) and AUT (t=2.51, p=0.02). This study reported a low QoL in the presence of neuropsychiatric morbidity. The implication of this is the need to be proactive in screening older adults with these physical health conditions for neuropsychiatric morbidity. Their early detection will facilitate timely intervention, which in turn improves the QoL of older adults with chronic medical conditions.
