A positive affect intervention for people experiencing health-related stress: Development and non-randomized pilot test
Open accessAbstract
In this article we present background, theoretical rationale, and pilot data on the development of an intervention designed to increase positive affect in people living with serious health-related stress. This proof-of-concept study demonstrated that a multiple-component positive affect intervention is feasible and acceptable for people newly diagnosed with HIV. Retention in the intervention and adherence to home practice were high. Participants reported significant increases in positive affect and significant decreases in negative affect. This positive affect intervention can serve as a template for programs to be developed to help people experiencing health-related and other types of life stress.

TL;DR
This proof-of-concept paper describes the development and non-randomized pilot test of a multiple-component positive affect intervention for people newly diagnosed with HIV. The intervention was feasible and acceptable, with high retention and home-practice adherence, and participants showed significant increases in positive affect and decreases in negative affect.
Key findings
- Retention was high: 9 of 11 participants completed the entire 10-week study (81.8% retention). Home-practice adherence averaged 5.4 days per week across weeks and tasks, ranging from 4.1 days/week for mindful breath awareness to 6.6 days/week for personal strengths.
- From pre-intervention to the first follow-up, positive affect increased by a mean of 3.9 points (p = .016) and negative affect decreased by 5.1 points (p = .016), compared with changes of +1.2 and −0.35, respectively, in a no-treatment historical comparison dataset. Pre-intervention to second follow-up effect sizes were Cohen’s d = 1.14 for positive affect and 1.98 for negative affect.
- Overall mindfulness did not change significantly, but the nonreactivity subscale increased significantly at immediate post-intervention, while the nonjudgment subscale dropped significantly at the second follow-up. At 4-week follow-up, 6 of 9 participants reported practicing at least one skill daily; the most frequently practiced skill was noting positive events (2–3 times per week), and the least frequent was informal mindfulness (just under once per week).
- Acceptability ratings were high: average likelihood of recommending the program to a friend was 8.6 out of 10, and to someone just testing positive for HIV was 9.5 out of 10 (7 of 9 participants said 10).
Methods
- The intervention was based on revised Stress and Coping Theory and Broaden-and-Build theory and taught 8 skills across 5 weekly one-on-one sessions lasting approximately 45–60 minutes, with home practice and a workbook.
- The pilot enrolled 11 people newly diagnosed with HIV within the previous 4 months (actual range 1–14; average 8.5 weeks prior to screening, range 3–15 weeks). Nine were men, two were women; average age was 38. Participants were recruited through HIV clinics and community sites in the San Francisco Bay Area between October and December 2007.
- Positive and negative affect were assessed with a modified Differential Emotions Scale at week 1, one week after intervention completion, and by phone four weeks later; mindfulness was assessed with items from the Five Factor Mindfulness Scale. Main analyses used paired t-tests, with a no-treatment historical comparison group from a prior observational study in the same lab.
Limitations
- The paper states that this was a formative, proof-of-concept pilot with no control group and a small sample; it also states that future work should examine which intervention components are most effective and for whom, analyze which types of positive affect change, and explore group or self-administered formats.
- The text makes evident that the design was non-randomized, the comparison was a historical no-treatment dataset rather than a randomized control, and complete post-intervention data were available for only n = 9 participants.
- The text also makes evident reliance on self-report measures, a short follow-up period, and a sample that was predominantly men, which limits generalizability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
