Abstract

To identify evidences in scientific Brazilian literature on nursing care to aged people with HIV. Integrative review of literature from databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), Cochrane and the Nursing Database (BDENF). The applied inclusion criteria were publications that were fully available from 2001 to 2015 and answered to the guiding question of this study. We included 13 studies; and the categories that allowed a better presentation of the scientific evidence on nursing care to aged people with HIV carrier were: Epidemiological profile, perceptions and experiences of aged people with HIV and nursing care to aged people with HIV. The studies address nursing care from a clinic that follows NANDA diagnoses of strong individualizing approach and low consideration of social aspects.

Highlights

The aging process has been more and more common proportionally to economic development
A study from Chile, where the conduction of data collection was through information on people with HIV/Aids given by the Spanish National Center of Epidemiology, showed that both Caribbean and Latin America have higher prevalence rates of HIV/Aids in adults, mainly because of the religious, cultural, economic and political factors that influence the population’s sex behaviors(4)
We selected 339 studies in Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), 60 LILACS, 69 in 60 BDENF and 54 in Cochrane databases. Among these articles, only a few answered to the guiding question, 5 of them being in SciELO, 02 in LILACS, 04 in BDENF, and 02 in Cochrane

Summary

Introduction

The aging process has been more and more common proportionally to economic development. A study from Chile, where the conduction of data collection was through information on people with HIV/Aids given by the Spanish National Center of Epidemiology, showed that both Caribbean and Latin America have higher prevalence rates of HIV/Aids in adults, mainly because of the religious, cultural, economic and political factors that influence the population’s sex behaviors(4). This pathology represents a Brazilian significant public health problem because of its debilitating elements of physiological character, and of its psychic and social issues associated with the stigma around the disease(3)
