Psychoneuroimmunology and AIDS.

N C Lovejoy, R Sisson

    Holistic Nursing Practice
    |August 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) research highlights the immune and neurological system connection. Nurses should consider host psychogenic and physiological factors that may influence human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection progression.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI)
    • Infectious Disease Nursing
    • HIV/AIDS Care

    Background:

    • The field of PNI is emerging, revealing significant links between the immune and neurological systems.
    • Basic research underscores the interconnectedness of these systems, impacting patient health outcomes.
    • Nurses require a holistic approach, including multisystem assessments, for patients with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of PNI in nursing care for individuals with HIV/AIDS.
    • To explore the potential influence of host psychogenic and physiological states on HIV disease progression.
    • To identify the need for further nursing research in PNI and its effect on HIV/AIDS.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of basic research on PNI and its implications for nursing.
    • Analysis of preliminary studies on host factors affecting HIV progression.
    • Identification of gaps in current nursing research regarding PNI and HIV/AIDS.

    Main Results:

    • PNI research demonstrates a clear link between immune and neurological functions.
    • Host psychogenic and physiological conditions can influence the rate of HIV infection progression.
    • Current research does not support the mind's ability to cure AIDS, but suggests modulation of disease progression is possible.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses must adopt multisystem assessments and holistic care for persons with AIDS, informed by PNI principles.
    • Further nursing research is crucial to understand how immunomodulating events impact disease progression in HIV-infected individuals.
    • Understanding PNI can lead to more effective nursing interventions for managing HIV/AIDS.
