What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SurveyOther

    Each participant completed an anonymous 62-item online survey.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sleep quality

    It will investigate with the Italian version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) the quality of sleep in HIV+ patients by assessing the reported subjective quality, latency, duration, efficiency, degree of disturbed sleep, use of sleep medications, and how much sleep-related problems affect daily routines.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Influence of sleep quality on mental health

    Mental health will be investigated using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) 21, a self-assessment instrument containing 21 useful items to investigate three constructs: depression, anxiety and stress. Each construct constitutes a specific subscale, consisting of 7 items. Each item corresponds to a statement, referring to the past week.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Influence of sleep quality on quality of life

    Quality of life will be investigated using the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12). The SF-12 investigates quality of life with 12 items: 6 items are concerned with physical health (physical functioning, physical plane limitations, physical pain, general health) and 6 items are concerned with mental health (emotional plane limitations, fatigue or lack of energy, social functioning, emotional well-being).

    Measured: 1 year
