Submission Description
Poor sleep quality is a health problem primarily experienced by people living with HIV. The impact of poor sleep quality not only affects the HIV disease itself, but extends to many areas of life. This study aimed to explore the experience of poor sleep quality in people living with HIV AIDS. The research method used was qualitative using semi-structured in-depth interviews with 12 PLHIV from a national peer support group. Approximately 60 minutes interview was run through Zoom meeting and recorded. The data was analysed descriptively and interpretatively for 3 clusters of PLHIV who differ in the severity of sleep problems. These three clusters have been determined using an initial analysis based on Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Further data analysis was based on a hermeneutic form PLHIV narratives. During the data analysis, all authors agreed with the results. Three themes were identified: 1). I have a lot of things in my mind that prevent me from sleeping; 2). I would rather switch to TLD (Tenofovir, Lamivudine, and Dolutegravir) so that I can have my sleep back; and 3) When I cannot sleep, I end up scrolling through my phone. HIV positive status and any HIV medication taken may affect PLHIV sleeping pattern. However, there are many potentials to improve their sleep.
