With regards to nursing care for patients with HIV/AIDS, as well as their families and friends, in the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social we carried out a model that addresses the human and pathophysiological responses, in order to recover the welfare of these patients and reintegrate them in the best possible conditions into their sociocultural environments. For this we used two tools, the methodology of process and the standardized language, which are made explicit in the nursing care plan, by establishing a relationship between the nursing diagnosis, interventions and expected outcomes. The methodology used in developing the nursing care plan included the creation of nominal groups of experts, meetings, selection of the problem to be addressed, prioritization of diagnostic labels, search systematized information, defining the scope and objectives, adoption of taxonomy, critical analysis of scientific evidence, adoption and adaptation of recommendations of international guidelines and internal validation of the final document for peer reviewing.

Non-compliance related to treatment factors affecting adherence. This non-compliance is brought on by not including the treatment regimen in daily life Adherence: number of pills, frequency of dosing, dietary restrictions, adverse effects, pharmacological interactions and lifestyle impairment (NE-3)1 |
Conduct of compliance; prescribed medication | -Has a list of all medications, with dosage and frequency -Follows the medication precautions |
-Never demonstrated -Rarely demonstrated -Sometimes demonstrated -Frequently demonstrated -Always demonstrated |

Risk of non-adherence due to low educational level; age-related changes (loss of vision, cognitive impairment); psychosocial status (depression, homeless condition, lack of social support, stress, dementia or psychosis); substance abuse (particularly in those with recent relapse); stigma, difficulty taking medications; complex schedules (frequent doses requiring specific foods); adverse effects caused by the regimen; or treatment fatigue. | |||
Nursing interventions | |||
-Provide detailed information about treatment risks and benefits (GRa)1 -Encourage compliance by informing the person of viral load and cd4 cell count results (GRa)1 -Adopt special help techniques for compliance, for example, medication diaries, alarms, or electronic messages (GRa)1 -Evaluate presence of risk factors that affect optimal adherence to treatment, in order to plan multifactorial and multidisciplinary interventions (GRa)2 -Explain to the patient appropriate antiretroviral treatment regimens and warning data for certain immediate adverse effects (GRa)2 -Identify characteristics of the patient, family and social environment that promote adequate adherence and design and implement strategies with multidisciplinary intervention (GRc)3 -Inform the patient about their illness and treatment. It is important that they understand the risk-benefit relationship and is motivated to comply with the treatment (GRa).2 When the patient is informed brings about awareness of his/her illness, of the objective of his/her antiretroviral treatment and that their active participation actively in the decision to begin and maintain it. -Find allies among family and friends (GRa)1 -Introduce patients to civil organizations(GRa)1 -Suggest a system or network of help to remind the patient to take their antiretrovirals (PBP) -Monitor adherence to treatment by a multidisciplinary team (GRa)2 -Follow-up periodically on antriretroviral treatment adherence to identify compliance failures (GRa)2 |
