“…Cabe o profissional de saúde utilizar seus conhecimentos sobre a temática para que oriente o idoso sobre medidas de prevenção do HIV/AIDS e as consequências passíveis de ocorrer caso ele se infecte com esse vírus (Alwafi et al, 2018;Morillo Verdugo et al, 2018). Vale ressaltar que a orientação deve ser de acordo com o nível educacional do indivíduo, pois durante esta faixa etária existe dificuldade no repasse de informações por permanência do conhecimento de situações vivenciadas por ele (Costa et al, 2018;Nardelli et al, 2019).…”

A AIDS é definida como uma infecção de natureza crônica resultante da ação do vírus HIV, que aumenta a vulnerabilidade do indivíduo a inúmeras doenças de caráter oportunista. A sociedade rotula a população idosa como assexuada ou não interessada em sexo, criando obstáculos que podem dificultar o enfrentamento. O trabalho tem como objetivo mostrar a percepção da população idosa sobre o HIV/AIDS, aspectos sociais envolvidos e o papel dos profissionais de saúde diante dessa temática. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases de dados MEDLINE, BDENF, LILACS e SciELO em que adotou-se a estratégia PICO/PRISMA com o uso dos descritores: Aged, HIV, Knowledge. Os idosos estão cada vez mais convivendo com o HIV/AIDS, porém são vistos pelos demais como não praticantes de sexo, possuem uma vida sexual ativa e, há preferência pelo não uso do preservativo, principalmente em idosos do sexo masculino. O preservativo é visto apenas como contraceptivo em detrimento à prevenção. As mulheres estão mais susceptíveis a adquirir infecção pelo HIV por questões relacionadas à idade e cultura. Idosos habitantes de zonas rurais são ainda mais vulneráveis e possuem maiores dificuldades de assistência, comparado aos que vivem em zonas urbanas. Observa-se a necessidade da realização de ações mais direcionadas a saúde sexual dos idosos, solicitação de exames e fornecimento de preservativos femininos e masculinos. Faz-se necessário urgentemente a criação de políticas sobre a necessidade de planejar, orientar e implementar ações tendo em vista o empoderamento dos idosos frente a prevenção, intervenção e diagnóstico de HIV/ AIDS.

Effectiveness of a pre-adolescent inter-generational intervention to address HIV and obesity in South Africa, using a pretest-posttest design

Background Strengthening pre-adolescents knowledge and skills through an age- and culturally-appropriate intervention could prevent health issues later in life. Early interventions could influence the trajectory of future risky behaviour, and may influence health behaviour amongst their parents. The CIrCLE of Life Initiative was developed to address HIV and obesity. We evaluated whether the combined intervention increased knowledge, enhanced skills, and/or promoted healthy behaviour among students (9–12 years old) and their parents. Methods The study was conducted from May to December 2018. Trained educators delivered 30-min lessons over ten consecutive weeks with 537 Grade 6 students at five government-run schools, in a district, in South Africa. Schools were purposively selected based on socioeconomic status and urban-rural classification. Students communicated with parents through shared homework activities. A pretest-posttest study design was used, with a 3-month follow up. Both groups completed self-administered paper-based questionnaires. A score of subscales was used in analysis. The pretest and posttest scores were compared for students and parents using a dependent t-test. Differences in outcomes by school quintile were compared using one-way ANOVA. Results Response rates were high for both students (80.6%) and their parents (83.4%). Statistically significant differences were observed in HIV knowledge in students pretest (mean 8.04, SD 3.10) and posttest scores (mean 10.1, SD 2.70; p < 0.01), and their parents (mean 10.32, SD 2.80 vs 11.0, SD 2.50; p < 0.01). For both students and parents, pre- and post-test obesity awareness mean scores were similar, 1.93, SD 0.92 and 2.78, SD 0.57; p < 0.01, for students; and 2.47, SD 0.82 and 2.81, SD 0.54; p < 0.01, for parents. In the posttest, statistically significant changes were also observed in both groups, enhancing skills in measuring body mass index and pulse rate, and interpreting food labels. Students had a high intention to share gained knowledge with parents who had a high intention to receive it (89.4 and 89.5%, respectively). Conclusion The intervention increased knowledge about HIV and obesity-related awareness, and it enhanced skills in selected outcomes among pre-adolescents and parents. Accurate messages and enhanced communication skills could support inter-generational knowledge transfer. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04307966 retrospectively registered on 12 March 2020.

“…The selection of participants for the present study came from the database of the larger project, composed of 238 older adults 13 . From this database, an intentional, non-probabilistic sample was selected, by inviting older adults who fit the following inclusion criteria: octogenarians (80 years of age or older) who had been registered with the PHC service of the Family Health Strategy type (or ESF), for at least six months, and who had had at least one appointment at the registered health unit and did not exhibit cognitive decline.…”

Objective: To evaluate the satisfaction of octogenarians with Primary Health Care services. Method: a descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, was carried out with 30 older users of the Family Health Strategy, selected by a non-probabilistic sample. Data were collected at home, using the following questionnaires: the mini-mental state exam, a questionnaire on sociodemographic factors, health conditions and access to services, and a questionnaire on satisfaction with Primary Health Care. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The satisfaction analysis showed that the elderly octogenarians are satisfied in terms of care ( X ´ = 6,0 ; ± 1,5) and the interest that community agents demonstrate in them ( X ´ = 5,9 ; ± 1,6) and the availability of nurses for their treatment ( X ´ = 5,9 ; ± 1,1). Aspects related to the waiting time for nurses ( X ´ = 4,6 ; ± 1,6) and doctors ( X ´ = 4,9 ; ± 1,6), facilities for the disabled ( X ´ = 4,6 ; ± 1,4) and the perception that the unit is close to a perfect health unit ( X ´ = 4,6 ; ± 1,8). Conclusion: The services were positively evaluated, reflecting the importance of considering the perspective of octogenarian users in the planning of healthcare actions, since the evaluation of the quality of these services can lead to changes and guide actions in a way that is coherent with the lives of users, increasing their effectiveness, especially regarding actions aimed at the octogenarian population.
