“…A dependência de medicação e tratamento, faceta da dimensão física, refere-se à percepção de que o prazo indefinido do tratamento e a perspectiva de cronicidade levam a uma situação de uso permanente da medicação. A presença de sentimentos negativos pode ser atribuída a dificuldades emocionais associadas à soropositividade, podendo configurar quadros de depressão ou de ansiedade, com diferentes níveis de gravidade (Khouzam, Donnelly & Ibrahim, 1998). Por fim, a repercussão negativa da soropositividade enfermidade sexualmente transmissível sobre a vida sexual e sobre a conjugalidade, justificam os escores mais baixos nessa esfera.…”

Resumo A pesquisa testou modelo sobre as relações entre qualidade de vida (QV), condição clínica, escolaridade, situação conjugal, enfrentamento e suporte social, em pessoas portadoras do HIV/AIDS. Participaram 241 pessoas (161 homens), de 20 a 64 anos, 169 sintomáticas e 72 assintomáticas, 208 delas em uso de terapia anti-retroviral. A variável critério QV foi investigada nas dimensões psicossocial, física, do ambiente e qualidade de vida geral, mediante análises de regressão múltipla hierárquica. Suporte social emocional, enfrentamento focalizado na emoção, enfrentamento focalizado no problema e viver com parceiro(a) foram preditores significativos da dimensão psicossocial da QV, alcançando a maior variância explicada (59% ajustado). Suporte social emocional e enfrentamento focalizado na emoção foram preditores significativos nas análises relativas às demais dimensões da QV. Discutem-se implicações para as práticas de saúde referentes às ações profissionais propiciadoras do bem-estar psicológico e da qualidade de vida em pessoas vivendo com HIV/AIDS.

“…Notably, the majority of individuals with HIV pursuing treatment for depression or developing a major depressive episode have had prior depressive episodes. 7,8 Diagnosing depression in the context of HIV illness presents significant diagnostic challenges (Table 1). 9 Depressive syndromes in persons with HIV may represent a primary mood disorder (major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder), medication effects, substance abuse, or other medical conditions.…”

“…In contrast to the paucity of HCV literature, a number of studies have investigated the psychosocial concomitants of HIV infection. A burgeoning series of data have accumulated over the last 20 years regarding the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among HIV-infected patients [14, 15], the role of personality and social support variables in molding coping strategies and, in turn, psychiatric morbidity [16, 17]and the possible effect of psychosocial factors, mainly life events, depression and poor social support, in favoring HIV progression [18, 19]. …”

Background: The increasing health problem of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has only recently attracted the attention of psychosocial research, especially among subjects at higher risk (e.g. intravenous drug users; IDUs). The aim of the present study was to compare emotional stress symptoms, psychosocial variables (i.e. social support, external locus of control and emotional repression) and coping strategies in HCV-seropositive, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositive and HCV/HIV-noninfected IDUs. Methods: IDUs followed by the Infectious Diseases Outpatient clinic were enrolled in the study over a period of 1 year. HCV-positive (n = 62) and HIV-positive (n = 76) IDUs and HCV/HIV-seronegative IDUs (n = 152) completed the Brief Symptom Inventory, the Social Provision Scale, the Locus of Control scale and the affective inhibition scale of the Illness Behavior Questionnaire. Coping with illness among HCV-positive and HIV-positive subjects was assessed through a modified version of the Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale. Results: No significant differences were found between the samples with respect to individual and interpersonal variables. HCV-positive subjects showed higher scores on several psychological stress dimensions (i.e. obsessive-compulsive, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, psychoticism) and lower scores on fighting spirit, hopelessness and anxious preoccupation towards illness than HIV-positive patients. HCV-positive and HCV/HIV-seronegative IDUs reported comparable scores on most of the psychological measures. Conclusions: The findings indicate that routine assessment of psychosocial variables and coping mechanisms should be integrated into all HCV and HIV services, especially those dedicated to treatment of patients with substance abuse, as a vulnerable segment of the population at risk for life-threatening physical illness such as HCV and HIV infections.
