Feasibility and Acceptability of an mHealth Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management Intervention to Ameliorate HIV-related Fatigue
The purpose of this study is to create a smartphone, tablet and web-based application to help
people deal with stress. Stress often increases fatigue in people with HIV infection, so
successfully dealing with stress could help reduce HIV-related fatigue. The study is being
done at one site, the Medical University of South Carolina. Approximately 30 people will take
part in this portion of the study.

successfully dealing with stress could help reduce HIV-related fatigue. The study is being
done at one site, the Medical University of South Carolina. Approximately 30 people will take
part in this portion of the study.
For this study we will develop a fatigue symptom self-management cognitive behavioral stress
management (CBSM) program that will be delivered via mHealth through smartphones and tablets
(optimized for each). All CBSM content will be integrated into the application, but tailoring
of information delivery will be derived through algorithm-driven feedback based on user input
as they respond to integrated assessment and symptom monitoring questions. As a result, users
of the CBSM-Self Management Intervention (CBSM-SMI) will receive personalized, relevant
intervention content, when they need it, where they need it. This novel mode of CBSM delivery
has not yet been provided via an mHealth format to HIV-infected individuals, despite its
obvious advantages insofar as cost and reach are concerned.
