Cooperation with employers and colleagues at work (unemployment).
Accessing health care information and doctor-patient.
communication (health literacy)
Maintaining relationships with others who can assist with daily
activities (IADL complaints, Karnofsky Rating, PAOFI).
Future studies should include assess broader range of types of social
cognition (e.g., theory of mind).
Interventions targeting social cognitive deficits may improve many
aspects of daily functioning in individuals with HIV, and particularly those with HAND. |
