SystemCHANGE-HIV: A Pilot Study Exploring the Effect of a Systems-based Intervention to Increase Physical Activity, Sleep Behavior, and Mental Wellness
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SystemCHANGE-HIV for HIV. Completed, enrolled 43 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess a new behavioral intervention to help how people living with HIV/AIDS practice self-management skills. Specifically, we want to see if a new educational intervention can improve physical activity, sleep, mental wellness and quality of life in HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus)-infected men and women. We hypothesize that those who are in the intervention group will practice more self-management skills than those in the control group.

Interventions
SystemCHANGE, is based on social ecological theory and focuses on redesigning the family environment and daily routines that are linked to health behavior. This framework emphasizes context and specifies that change is best accomplished by: identifying a measurable goal, examining the system processes surrounding attainment of that goal, listing several ideas that may improve the system, engaging in a series of experiments to test the best ideas to improve the process, implementing the most successful ideas based on data from the experiments, and monitoring the system to maintain the gains. The SystemCHANGE-HIV intervention works to help participants make small environmental changes made in family daily routines that will eventually construct an environment.
