Evidence-based treatment strategies in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Fatigue is commonly reported by persons with HIV and AIDS and is associated with impaired physical function, reduced quality of life, and suboptimal treatment adherence. Patients regard fatigue as an important condition to be addressed because it is disabling and distressing. In the past, fatigue was overlooked and undertreated by physicians, but clinicians caring for persons with HIV and AIDS have been giving more attention to symptom management and patients’ quality of life. Increased attention to symptom management in HIV and AIDS warrants familiarity with major issues in evaluation and treatment of fatigue. This chapter reviews the definition and assessment of fatigue, prevalence of fatigue in HIV/AIDS and its impact on patients, medical and psychological causes of fatigue, and evidence-based treatment strategies.

The therapy manuals included in this volume—the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children (UP-C) and Adolescents (UP-A)—include evidence-based treatment strategies to assist child and adolescent clients to function better in their lives. The manuals include specific guidelines for treatment delivery, and they also contain information about how to introduce parent-directed strategies to help promote long-term uptake of youth-directed therapy skills. The evidence-based treatment skills presented may be applied by therapists to children and adolescents with a wide variety of emotional disorders. This treatment guide takes a transdiagnostic approach to the treatment of emotional disorders. Some of the disorders that may be targeted include anxiety disorders and depressive disorders. This treatment is flexible enough for use with some trauma and stress-related disorders (including adjustment disorders), somatic symptom disorders, tic disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders. The transdiagnostic presentation of evidence-based intervention techniques within these treatments may be particularly useful for children and adolescents presenting with multiple emotional disorders or mixed/subclinical symptoms of several emotional disorders.
