Developing a Resilience Intervention for Older, HIV-Infected Women
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Adapted 3RP for Resilience, Psychological. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is the second phase of a two-part study. In the first phase (Protocol ID: R34AT009170), the investigators refined and piloted the Relaxation Response Resiliency (3RP) intervention for women age 50 and over who are living with HIV, a group especially burdened by stressors related both to aging and to living with chronic disease. In this part of the study, the investigators will use data from the first phase to further adapt the intervention manual, and test the final product via a small randomized controlled trial in the same population.

Interventions
The 3RP blends stress management principles, cognitive behavioral therapy, and positive psychology. The 3RP focuses on 3 major areas: (1) eliciting the relaxation response; (2) increasing stress awareness; and (3) promoting adaptive strategies. The adapted 3RP intervention consists of 10, 90-minute weekly group sessions. Content specific to older women living with HIV, including self-compassion exercises, was added to the intervention in the first phase of this study (open pilot).
