ABSTRACT

A qualidade de vida (QV) acompanha o tratamento dos pacientes com AIDS, juntamente com as inovações farmacológicas, que permitiram prolongar a vida do paciente e a manutenção de seu bem-estar. O presente estudo objetivou verificar a QV desses pacientes e correlacionar com dados clínicos e laboratoriais. Participaram 205 pacientes HIV/AIDS, os quais responderam ao questionário WHOQOL-120-HIV e tiveram coletados seus dados sociodemográficos, clínicos e laboratoriais. A média etária foi de 40,59 ± 11,81 anos; contagem de linfócitos CD4+ de 397,97 ± 232,84 mm³ e 5,23 ± 3,94 anos de diagnóstico do HIV. A carga viral era <50 cópias/ml em 115 pacientes; em 61, entre 50 e 10.000; e em 29 acima de 10.000 cópias. Os domínios atingiram bons escores médios, sendo que o melhor foi o psicológico (14,5 ± 2,7), seguido de relações sociais (13,7 ± 2,2), físico (12,7 ± 3,5), nível de independência (12,6 ± 2,5), crenças pessoais (12,4 ± 2,4) e meio ambiente (12,4 ± 1,8). Os melhores escores nas facetas dor, lazer, apoio social, ambiente físico e crenças pessoais foram os com maiores níveis de CD4 (p < 0,05). Já nas facetas finanças, lazer, preocupações sobre o futuro e QV geral e percepção de saúde foram em pacientes com carga viral <50 (p < 0,05). Os melhores índices nas facetas energia e fadiga, atividade sexual, informação e transporte, sintomas da doença, cuidados e preocupações sobre o futuro foram verificados em pacientes com menor tempo de diagnóstico (p < 0,05). Os pacientes com HIV/AIDS do estudo apresentam QV de nível intermediário e associação com os níveis de CD4, CV e tempo de diagnóstico.


Quality of life (QOL) has accompanied the treatment of AIDS patients, along with pharmacological innovations that have allowed patients to live longer and maintain their well-being. The present study aimed at evaluating the QOL of these patients and correlate it with clinical and laboratory data. The study included 205 patients with HIV/AIDS, who answered the WHOQOL-120-HIV; and whose socio-demographic data, clinical and laboratory findings were collected. The average age was 40.59 ± 11.81 years; CD4+ lymphocyte count, 397.9 ± 232.84 mm³; and years of diagnosis of HIV, 5.23 ± 3.94. Viral load was <50 copies/ml in 115 patients; 50 to 10.000 in 61; and above 10.000 copies in 29 patients. Domains achieved satisfactory average scores, and the best were the psychological (14.5 ± 2.7), followed by social relationships (13.7 ± 2.2), physical (12.7 ± 3.5), independence (12.6 ± 2.5), personal beliefs (12.4 ± 2.4), and environment (12.4 ± 1.8). The best scores on pain, pleasure, social support, physical environment, and personal belief facets were observed for those with higher CD4 levels (p < 0.05). The best scores for the finance, leisure, concerns about the future, overall QOL, and perceived health facets were observed for patients with viral load <50 (p < 0.05). The highest rates for energy, fatigue, sexual activity, information, transportation, symptoms, care, and concerns about the future facets were seen in patients with less time of diagnosis (p < 0.05). HIV/AIDS patients in the study had an intermediate QOL correlating to CD4 levels, VL, and time of diagnosis.
