Outcome expectancies toward adherence to antiretroviral therapy for pregnant and postpartum women with HIV

Objectives: Adherence to antiretroviral therapy and retention in care significantly drop for women with HIV during the postpartum period. We have a limited understanding of how outcome expectancies influence maternal adherence and retention in care. Methods: Women with HIV from an urban academic cli...

We have a limited understanding of how outcome expectancies influence maternal adherence and retention in care. Methods: Women with HIV from an urban academic clinic completed in-depth interviews in the third trimester and at 3 to 9 months postpartum to evaluate outcome expectancies, facilitators, and barriers to antiretroviral therapy adherence and retention in care. Interviews were audio-recorded and analyzed for content. A codebook was created using deductive (based on the theory of reasoned action approach) and inductive (based on emergent themes) codes. Results: We conducted 21 interviews with 12 women during pregnancy and 9 women during postpartum period. Participants had a mean age of 31 (standard deviation = 5.7) and most were African American (75%). Outcome expectancies centered mostly around pediatric health to prevent perinatal transmission of HIV and to be healthy to raise their children. Other outcome expectancies included preventing transmission of HIV to their partners. Social support from partners served as a strong facilitator as they helped routinize pill-taking behaviors, provided reminders, and decreased social isolation. Barriers to antiretroviral therapy adherence included depression, the disruption of scheduling routines, and the physical demands associated with the postpartum period. These barriers were accentuated for women with multiple children. Conclusion: Women’s commitment to pediatric health was the primary motive for antiretroviral therapy adherence. Partners also served an important role. These findings suggest that interventions linking pediatric and maternal health, and partner support can improve maternal HIV treatment in the postpartum period.Florence M MomplaisirKathryn FortuneHervette NkwihorezeAllison K GrovesErika AaronJohn B JemmottSAGE PublishingarticleMedicineRENWomen's Health, Vol 17 (2021)
