| Abstract | |
This study presents a critical analysis of an intervention that sought to improve adherence of people living with aids to antiretroviral treatment based on the propositions of the social constructionist psychology, the Care reference and the vulnerability and human rights framework. This intervention was tested for the first time in an STD/AIDS reference service in the state of Sao Paulo. It was conducted by three previously trained health workers, along with patients undergoing treatment at the institution. Aiming to describe this experience and to understand the feasibility of the interventions conduction within SUS by workers from different areas, the three health workers who were part of the study were invited to answer to individual and group in-depth interviews. The interviews approached participants considerations regarding interventions training process and practical experience, including their reports about the meetings they held with patients as part of the intervention. In the discussion, we focused on the positive aspects and the main difficulties faced by participants throughout the process; the perceived results concerning their work practice and the patients treatment; and the challenges and suggestions proposed for a future implementation of the intervention in other services. The intervention was considered feasible from the health workers point of view and it brought important considerations about the practice developed to assist people living with aids, contributing to the debate concerning the theoretical and methodological conceptions that underlie the actions directed to improve the adherence to antiretroviral therapy (AU) | |
