- W3200738377 abstract "Abstract Background: Mothers and other primary caregivers play a crucial role in looking after HIV infected, and HIV exposed uninfected adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. Daily caring may expose these caregivers to adverse states of health. Unfortunately, very few studies have examined their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) despite the additional risk of poor health outcomes. Our study documents the HRQoL profile, and associated factors in primary caregivers of perinatally HIV infected, perinatally HIV exposed but uninfected and HIV unexposed/uninfected adolescents aged 12 – 17 years at the Kenyan Coast. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of 485 primary caregivers: 195 of perinatally HIV infected adolescents, 128 of perinatally HIV exposed but uninfected adolescents and 162 of HIV unexposed/uninfected adolescents. All caregivers completed a self-report measure of HRQoL, depressive symptoms, and parenting stress. They also provided their sociodemographic information and that of the participating adolescents. We used one-way analysis of variance (and its non-parametric version) to assess statistical differences among the groups. Linear regression analyses were used to identify correlates of HRQoL among caregivers. Results: Linear regression analyses indicated that depressive symptoms, increasing age of caregiver, and caring for an HIV exposed adolescent were significantly associated with reduced HRQoL at both the RAND SF-36 overall and sub-scale level. Having a professional job relative to subsistence farming was the only factor associated with improved overall HRQoL. At subscale level, higher socioeconomic status correlated positively with HRQoL (within the limitations due to emotional problems domain) while being a grandparent, and level of education (physical functioning domain) , and parenting stress (vitality domain) were negatively associated with HRQoL. Moreover, caring for a male adolescent (vitality domain) and increasing adolescent age (pain domain) was associated with declining HRQoL. Conclusions: Caregivers in this sample, especially those who are ageing, at risk of mental ill-health, and taking care of HIV exposed adolescents, appear to be vulnerable. Inclusive and multi-component interventions tailored to the caregivers' psychosocial and mental needs will potentially enhance their quality of life. Longitudinal studies are also needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and longer-term implications of the correlates of caregivers HRQoL identified in the present study." @default.
