Dificuldade sexual vivenciada por mulheres em crise de HIV-1

Abstract

This descriptive study was based on the assumptions of qualitative investigation methods and on the Crisis Theory formulated by CAPLAN (1966). The objective of the study was to identify the sexual problems experienced by women undergoing an HIV-1 crisis. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview recorded by the method of FREITAS et al. (1992) and analyzed by the method of MEIHY (1996). Authors concluded that these women maintained themselves unbalanced using negative coping mechanisms. Thus, authors believe that it would be possible to help them using adequate nursing actions such as educational and guidance actions, but mainly by actions directed to the needs of patients undergoing an HIV-1 crisis.

Nursing and sexuality: integrative review of papers published by the Latin-American Journal of Nursing and Brazilian Journal of Nursing

“…Six papers (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) were identified in this thematic group and even though they were published in a time when a sweeping debate was taking place on the feminization of AIDS, only one addresses the issue of gender vulnerability (20) . The authors indicate the need for new approaches in nursing in relation to AIDS, in which gender and sexuality are present.…”
