“…27 Moreover, this finding is comparable with the studies conducted in Brazil, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. 11,16,22,39 The possible explanation might be that since TB is a contagious disease people might decrease their interaction with others to minimize the transmission.…”

This study was conducted to assess the health-related quality of life and associated factors among adult human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) mono-infected and tuberculosis (TB) and HIV co-infected patients in the public health facilities of northeast Ethiopia. Methods: A comparative facility-based crosssectional study was conducted from February 01 to May 30, 2019. A total of 434 HIV monoinfected and 143 TB/ HIV co-infected patients were randomly selected for the study. The data were collected using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. The health-related quality of life of patients was measured using the World Health Organization quality of life HIV instrument which contains physical, psychological, social relationships, environmental, level of independence, and spiritual domains. The validated version of the Kessler scale was used to assess depressive symptoms. Linear regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with the outcome variables, and a p-value < 0.05 with 95% CI was used to measure the degree of association between health-related quality of life and independent variables. Results: The mean scores of health-related quality of life among HIV mono-infected patients in terms of thephysical, psychological, level of independence, social relationships, environmental, and spiritual health domains were 63.9, 65.0, 60.5, 59.0, 56.4, and 63.9, respectively; whereas the mean scores among TB/HIV co-infected patients were 46.6, 48.5, 42.7, 43.5, 39.3, and 51.3, respectively. Among HIV mono-infected patients, being married improved the quality of social relationships by 6.7 compared with unmarried patients (β = 6.7, 95% CI = 3.24, 10.11); whereas among the TB/HIV co-infected patients, being educated increased the quality of social relationships by 10.6 compared with being uneducated (β=10.6, 95% CI=3.70, 17.51). Conclusion: The study revealed that the TB/HIV co-infected patients had poor healthrelated quality of life in all domains compared with HIV mono-infected patients. Besides, depression and stigma were more prevalent among co-infected patients. Therefore, designing and implementing specific management that focuses on psychiatric centers for TB/HIV coinfected patients will be necessary as their quality of life is lowered.

Objectives: to analyze evidence on the quality of life of people with tuberculosis/HIV coinfection. Methods: review that followed steps of the Cochrane Collaboration, with the search of publications in the bases Embase, LILACS, PubMed, and Cochrane, through the descriptors “HIV,” “Tuberculosis,” and “Quality of Life,” without a temporal cut. Results: the results include 15 studies, published between 2009 and 2019, with the level of evidence V, in its majority. It was observed that there is no uniformity in the instrument used. Psychological support to this group and strengthening of actions to manage both infections are necessary. This segment’s quality of life is associated with social factors and scientific production on the subject concentrated in underdeveloped countries. Conclusions: the articles found have a low level of scientific evidence and indicate that people who experience coinfection have a more compromised quality of life when compared to those who experience tuberculosis or HIV separately.

“…(10) Estudos realizados na Etiópia, Brasil e Nigéria demonstraram que a QV sofreu consequências negativas devido à associação entre ambas as infecções. (4,8,9,24) De fato, a pobreza, o sofrimento decorrente do enfrentamento das precárias condições de vida e de trabalho, e a consequente baixa autoestima resultaram em menor QV em pessoas que vivenciam a coinfecção TB/HIV, conforme relatos do presente estudo e também evidenciados em estudos realizados na Etiópia, Tailândia e África do Sul. (4,8,25,26) Outros estudos também confirmaram as percepções dos entrevistados, ao apontarem que ter fonte de renda, maior grau de escolaridade, e apoio familiar e social contribuem para a manutenção da QV.…”

Conflitos de interesse: Embora Taminato M e Hino P sejam Editoras Associadas da Acta Paulista de Enfermagem, ambas não participaram do processo de avaliação pelos pares do referido artigo. ResumoObjetivo: Descrever e analisar as percepções de pessoas que vivenciam a coinfecção tuberculose/ vírus da imunodeficiência humana, quanto à qualidade de vida e ao cuidado em saúde.Métodos: Estudo exploratório, descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, realizado com dez pessoas que vivenciavam a coinfecção e que recebiam atendimento em um centro de referência do município de São Paulo. Para a coleta de dados, foi utilizado um questionário semiestruturado, composto por questões fechadas e questões norteadoras. A análise dos depoimentos baseou-se na teoria da determinação social do processo saúde-doença.Resultados: Os participantes apontaram que as condições precárias de vida interferiam na qualidade de vida e referiram satisfação em relação ao cuidado ofertado e com a rede de atenção à saúde. Vivenciar a coinfecção tuberculose/vírus da imunodeficiência humana acarretou sofrimento, isolamento social e estigma, o que pode contribuir para ideação suicida e diminuição da qualidade de vida. Na percepção dos participantes, os profissionais de saúde contribuem para a manutenção da qualidade de vida, por meio do estabelecimento de vínculo e atenção humanizada.Conclusão: Intervenções voltadas à redução das desigualdades sociais, que apoiem a diminuição de estigma e do preconceito e que incrementem a interação humanizada nos serviços de saúde, de forma a atender às necessidades de saúde dos usuários podem repercutir positivamente na percepção sobre a qualidade de vida e o cuidado em saúde daqueles que vivenciam a coinfecção tuberculose/vírus da imunodeficiência humana.
