Self-Awareness of Everyday Functioning among Middle-Aged and Older Adults with HIV: A Multinomial Logistic Analysis

Abstract

This study investigated the differences in self-awareness of functional abilities among middle-aged and older adults with HIV across four IADL domains: (1) medication management, (2) financial management, (3) telephone use, and (4) grocery shopping. Under-reporting was more common than over-reporting difficulties. Lower executive functioning and word-reading skills were associated with under-reporting, while higher depressive symptoms were linked to over-reporting in financial management and shopping activities.
