Abstract

BACKGROUND: HIV‑infected patients with poor antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence are prone
to depression, and depression can exacerbate the disease condition. This study was conducted to
determine ART Adherence based on Information, Motivation, and Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model and
its association with depression among HIV‑positive patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This descriptive–correlational study was carried out on people over
the age of 18 years with HIV/AIDS, who referred to the Behavioral Diseases Counseling Center in
Kerman City, Iran, in 2017. In this regard, 119 patients were selected using the table of random
numbers. To collect the data, we used the Beck’s depressioninventory‑II and the IMB researcher
made questionnaire to evaluate the ART adherence.
RESULTS: The results of the study reveal that a significant association was observed between the
total adherence and all constructs of the IMB model (P < 0.001). Risk perception and self‑efficacy had
the highest mean scores regarding the ART adherence. The prevalence of depression was 71.5%
among patients. Information, personal motivation, and total adherence had a significant association
with depression.
CONCLUSIONS: IMB model was an appropriate and practical strategy with regard to the ART
adherence among people living with HIV who are prone to depression and drug consumption is crucial
for them to achieve the 90‑90‑90 target. This article created a questionnaire to assist policy‑makers
and health professionals designing interventions to improve adherence and health outcomes of ART.
