Symptoms of depression and quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS

Se trata de un estudio de corte transversal realizado en 228 personas viviendo con HIV/Sida en un municipio del estado de Sao Paulo, durante 2007 y 2008. Los objetivos fueron investigar la intensidad de los sintomas de depresion en individuos con HIV/Sida atendidos en dos unidades de referencia en Ribeirao Preto, SP, y comparar la calidad de vida con los diferentes grados de intensidad de los sintomas de depresion en esos individuos, segun el genero. Los datos fueron recolectados por medio de entrevistas individuales, utilizando el Inventario de Depresion de Beck y HIV/AIDS Targeted Quality of Life (HATQoL). Se detectaron 63 (27,6%) individuos con sintomas de depresion (leve, moderado y grave). Las mujeres presentaron sintomas de intensidad mas grave de depresion que los hombres. Individuos con sintomas depresivos presentaron menores puntajes de calidad de vida que individuos con ausencia de esos sintomas, con diferencias estadisticamente significativas entre los valores medios/medianos en la mayoria de los dominios del HATQoL. Los profesionales de la salud deben ofrecer asistencia integral a las personas con HIV/Sida, valorizando los sintomas depresivos.This is a cross-sectional study conducted with 228 people living with HIV/AIDS in a municipality in the State of São Paulo during 2007 and 2008. The aims of this study were to investigate the intensity of the depressive symptoms in individuals with HIV/AIDS treated at two referral units in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, and to compare the quality of life with the different degrees of intensity of the depressive symptoms in these individuals, according to gender. Data were collected through individual interviews, using the Beck Depression Inventory and HIV/AIDS Targeted Quality of Life (HATQoL). A total of 63 (27.6%) patients with symptoms of depression (mild, moderate and severe) were detected. The women presented more severe symptoms of intensity of depression than men. Individuals with depressive symptoms presented lower scores of quality of life than individuals without these symptoms, with statistically significant differences between the means/medians in most domains of the HATQoL. Healthcare professionals should offer integral care for people with HIV/AIDS, emphasizing the depressive symptoms.

This cross-sectional study aimed to identify nursing diagnoses in critical patients at risk of developing pressure ulcer. It was carried out at an Intensive Care Unit in Fortaleza-CE, Brazil, using an intentional sample of thirteen subjects at risk of pressure ulcer, evaluated according to the Waterlow scale. In total, 45 nursing diagnoses were evidenced, seventeen of which were clinically significant for the development of pressure ulcer. The frequency levels for nine of these nursing diagnoses were ≥ 80%, mainly: Impaired skin integrity (100%), Impaired walking (87%), Impaired swallowing (80%), Impaired bed mobility (80%) and Impaired gas exchange (80%). The knowledge of those nursing diagnoses is important in detecting the effects and clinical basis of skin lesions.This cross-sectional study aimed to identify nursing diagnoses in critical patients at risk of developing pressure ulcer.
