The Quality of Healthcare in HIV _ Crimson Publishers
The Quality of Healthcare in HIV by Santos Catarina in Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings
Opinion
The care paradigm
has shifted in HIV infection as it has become a chronic condition.
Comorbidities have increased and are occurring at earlier ages. For the first
time in the disease’s history there is a first generation of people who are
aging with HIV. There is a first generation of children who were born infected
with HIV, who grew up and who are parents of HIV-negative children. There are regimens
of 1 tablet per day and medications with few or no side effects. There is rapid
community testing and community involvement to meet guidelines focused on early
diagnosis. There is medication before there is illness and to prevent illness.
The circumstance of
being sick or being sick has not changed. This condition continues to happen.
The new condition in individual/family health marks and disorganizes all who go
through it and have to face it in order to accept it. This circumstance can
make the person more fragile, vulnerable and fearful (potentially disorganizing
factors), and this requires nurses to be more sensitive, trained and more
committed to integrity in the care of people living with HIV and people at risk
of HIV.
People living with
HIV infection continue to experience stigma and discrimination in healthcare
settings. It is generally recognized that knowledge about HIV (or lack of it)
shapes the attitudes of many health professionals. The quality of care provided
is directly related to the adequate preparation of health professionals. And
this depends on the development of essential skills, which must cover three
specific elements: knowledge, skills and attitudes.
The quality and
safety of care must be a priority and an absolute guarantee for those who are
sick and who use healthcare teams. Accessibility to a differentiated and
effective health team are important components for adaptive living to the new
health condition.
The role of Nursing
in the HIV can be extensive, with a wide scope, from prevention and screening,
through the provision of care in all dimensions of care, and its implementation
in different contexts, inside and outside the hospital.
A multidisciplinary
team, which includes a nurse with differentiated knowledge and specialized
skills, ensures person-centered care, with a focus on promoting positive
responses at the individual level, disease prevention and health gains in the
person as a whole, inserted in the family and community.
