Research has not yet examined the relationship between psychological need satisfaction, sleep, mindfulness, and health-related quality of life in people living with HIV. This cross-sectional study ( N = 101; 84% male; mean age = 45.48, SD = 12.75) found need satisfaction to relate positively to physical and mental health. Sleep quality fully mediated the association with physical health and partially mediated the association with mental health. Furthermore, mindfulness related to higher sleep quality through higher need satisfaction. Findings underscore the role of need satisfaction in determining health-related quality of life and sleep quality in people living with HIV and suggest that mindfulness may facilitate need satisfaction.

Background: HIV/AIDS is known to affect an individual not only physically but also mentally, socially, and financially. It is a syndrome that builds a vacuum in a person affecting his/her life as a whole. Combined with ART, Quality of life (QoL) is an important component in the evaluation of the wellbeing of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). The objective of this study is to assess health related quality of life of HIV/AIDS patients attending ART clinic Tertiary care hospital, GGH, Kurnool and to determine the association of socio-demographic and disease related variables with health related quality of life.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2019 to June 2019 involving 400 purposively selected HIV-positive patients of age >18 years, who were taking highly active anti-retroviral therapy for the past 6months from the ART center, GGH, Kurnool. After obtaining IEC clearance and informed consent, WHOQOL-BREF instrument was used for data collection. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 26.0.Results: Out of the 400 participants, 60% were males. The mean age of the participants was 38.5±10.54 years. Overall quality of life had a mean score of 69.71. Physical (82.57) and level of independence (78.78) domains showed higher mean score when compared to psychological (63.82), environmental (61.49) and Social (60.26) domains.Conclusions: Among study subjects 15.5% had excellent QoL (≥80), nearly 69.75% had good QoL (60-79) and 14.75% had poor QoL (<60). Low QoL scores were seen in the social domain, suggesting that more social interventions are required in this population.
