Objective:to evaluate the accuracy of the defining characteristics of the NANDA
International nursing diagnosis, noncompliance, in people with HIV. Method:study of diagnostic accuracy, performed in two stages. In the first stage, 113
people with HIV from a hospital of infectious diseases in the Northeast of Brazil
were assessed for identification of clinical indicators of noncompliance. In the
second, the defining characteristics were evaluated by six specialist nurses,
analyzing the presence or absence of the diagnosis. For accuracy of the clinical
indicators, the specificity, sensitivity, predictive values and likelihood ratios
were measured. Results:the presence of the noncompliance diagnosis was shown in 69% (n=78) of people with
HIV. The most sensitive indicator was, missing of appointments (OR: 28.93, 95% CI:
1.112-2.126, p = 0.002). On the other hand, nonadherence behavior (OR: 15.00, 95%
CI: 1.829-3.981, p = 0.001) and failure to meet outcomes (OR: 13.41; 95% CI:
1.272-2.508; P = 0.003) achieved higher specificity. Conclusion:the most accurate defining characteristics were nonadherence behavior, missing of
appointments, and failure to meet outcomes. Thus, in the presence of these, the
nurse can identify, with greater security, the diagnosis studied.
Objective: to analyze the perceptions of adolescents in provisional reception about its vulnerability to HIV. Method: descriptive and exploratory study of qualitative nature. It was conducted with adolescents institutionalized in Casa de Passagem III located in Natal, State of Rio Grande do Norte, by the Focal Group technique (FG). Results: the elements addressed were relating to knowledge about HIV/Aids; selfprojection and responsibility in sexual sphere; behaviors and values; and the institution's contribution in the prevention of HIV/Aids. Conclusion: adolescents' perceptions regarding the vulnerability to HIV reflect other social problems, highlighting the need for multiple-based intervention direction, mainly in response to social needs of these adolescents
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
