Summary

The overall purpose of the proposed study is to determine whether three short-term stress management interventions along with booster strategies will improve and sustain improvements in psychosocial functioning, quality of life, and somatic health among persons with varying stages of HIV disease. The 10-week group interventions are designed to reduce perceived stress and increase coping effectiveness and include cognitive-behavioral stress management focused on positively living (+LIVE), focused Tai Chi (TCHI) training, and spiritual growth groups (SPRT). Effects of the interventions will be evaluated immediately upon completion of the group training and at 6 months and 12 months following stress management training.
