The efficacy and mechanism of an integrated mindfulness-based programme on posttraumatic stress disorder among people with HIV: a randomized controlled trial with 3-month follow up.

ABSTRACT: Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is highly prevalent among people with HIV (PWH) and is associated with poor psychological functioning and reduced adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), threatening treatment outcomes. Although the Community Resiliency Model (CRM) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) have separately demonstrated efficacy for PTSD, no intervention integrating these approaches has been specifically developed for PWH.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and mechanisms of an Integrated Mindfulness-Based Programme (IMBP), combining CRM and MBSR, in reducing PTSD symptoms and enhancing ART adherence among PWH.Methods: Eighty-two PWH with PTSD were assigned to either the IMBP intervention group or the control group.
