Summary
Резюме В статье представлен опыт работы мобильной бригады в комплексной паллиативной помощи пациентам с ВИЧ-инфекцией. Цель: проанализировать эффективность работы мобильной бригады как ключевого компонента паллиативной помощи больным с продвинутыми стадиями ВИЧ-инфекции и коморбидными состояниями. Совместным проектом Центра по профилактике и борьбе со СПИД и инфекционными заболеваниями (Центр СПИД) и благотворительного фонда «Гуманитарное действие» создана мобильная бригада для оказания выездной медицинской, социальной и психологической помощи больным с ВИЧинфекцией. Результаты: на курации у специалистов мобильной бригады находились 79 пациентов с ВИЧ-инфекцией, которые по состоянию здоровья не могли самостоятельно прибыть на обследование в Центр СПИД и получить антиретровирусную терапию. Заключение: с учетом роста количества пациентов с поздними стадиями ВИЧ-инфекции и коморбидными состояниями работа мобильных бригад является высокоэффективным звеном комплексной медицинской, социальной и психологической помощи.
