A percepção dos residentes multiprofissionais em saúde sobre a assistência às pessoas que vivem com HIV-AIDS

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is responsible for the development of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which can be transmitted through infected biological fluids via blood, sexual contact and vertical transmission. In Brazil, in 2022, 43,403 cases of HIV and 10,994 deaths from AIDS were reported. The Multidisciplinary Health Residency intends to qualify professionals from different areas of health training through the bond between study and service, through multidisciplinary care that aims to look comprehensively at the individual in order to meet their needs. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the perception of multidisciplinary health residents about care for people living with HIV/Aids (PLWHA). METHODS: A quantitative descriptive method was used, carried out with 34 multidisciplinary and unidisciplinary residents from the areas of nursing, pharmacy, nutrition, psychology, social work and medicine from a university hospital. For this purpose, a data collection form was used, divided between sociodemographic data and questions directed to the theme of the study, respecting the ethical and legal aspects. RESULTS: The sociodemographic profile drawn from the collection was 67.65% of the participants are between 20 and 29 years of age and 73.53% identified themselves as female. From the results of the questionnaire, it was possible to identify that the residents have a perception that there is a theoretical deficit in the theme of HIV and AIDS during the residency. Despite this, it is observed that the participants have a positive view of multidisciplinary care in the context of the study, believing that through this would be possible to fill gaps that existed during the care of PLWHA. Furthermore, it was evident from the residents' perception that welcoming, adherence to treatment and comprehensiveness are essential in the care of PLWHA, while it was also exposed that mental health, rights of PLWHA and metabolic alterations are the points that they have difficulty correlating with the context addressed in the study. CONCLUSION: The resident can positively impact the care of PLWHA through the construction of comprehensive care offered by multidisciplinary assistance through exchanges between the entire team. For this, it is necessary to improve the theory in the context of HIV/AIDS during the RMS, aiming at greater adherence to treatment and reducing the incidence of HIV and AIDS from a service with qualified professionals.
