Resumo
Objetivou-se verificar e analisar a ocorrência de atitudes discriminatórias de profissionais de saúde na assistência à saúde de pessoas com HIV/AIDS. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantiqualitativa com a participação de 68 pessoas com HIV/AIDS provenientes de quatro ONGs/AIDS dos seguintes municípios: Araçatuba-SP, Birigui-SP, Dourados-MS e Uberlândia- MG. Os participantes da pesquisa, após consentimento livre e esclarecido, responderam a questionários auto-administrados contendo perguntas abertas e fechadas abrangendo o tema proposto. Posteriormente, realizaram-se entrevistas semi-estruturadas individuais com 19 indivíduos que haviam vivenciado situações discriminatórias praticadas por profissionais de saúde. Para a análise dos resultados, utilizou-se o programa Epi-info, versão 6.04 (dados quantitativos) e a análise de conteúdo (dados qualitativos). Dentre os 68 participantes da pesquisa, 41,2% afirmaram terem sido discriminados por profissionais de saúde, dos quais 78,6% foram discriminados no serviço público de saúde. Dentre as situações discriminatórias vivenciadas pelos portadores do HIV, em 34,2% estavam envolvidos os profissionais de enfermagem, em 34,2% os cirurgiões-dentistas e em 31,6% os médicos. Por meio dos relatos foi possível observar que as atitudes discriminatórias ocorreram através do atendimento diferenciado, recusa de tratamento ou utilização de medidas extras de biossegurança, tendo ocorrido inclusive em instituições de ensino superior na área da saúde. É necessária a adoção de estratégias para combater a ocorrência de tais atos visando-se a humanização na assistência a saúde de pessoas com HIV/AIDS e a melhoria na qualidade de vida desses pacientes.
This study aimed to verify and to analyze the occurrence of discriminatory attitudes of health care workers in the assistance to the health of people living with HIV/AIDS. A quantitativequalitative research was carried out with the participation of 68 HIV-positive people proceeding from four Not Governmental Organizations for AIDS from four brazilian cities. The participants of the research answered the auto-administrate questionnaires that contained open and closed questions including the considered subject. Later, it was carried out face to face semistructuralized interviews with 19 individuals who had been discriminated by health care workers. For the analysis of the data we used the Epi-info, version 6.04 program and the content analysis. Among the sixty-eight participants, 41.2% stated to have been discriminated by health care workers and among these people, 78.6% had been discriminated in the health public service. The discriminatory situations were practiced by nursing professionals (34.2%), dentists (34.2%) and physicians (31.6%). Through the stories it was possible to observe that the discriminatory attitudes occurred by the differentiated attendance, refusal of treatment or by the adoption of extra precautions measures, having also occurred in colleges with courses in health area. The adoption of strategies to fight against the occurrence of such acts is necessary aiming at human assistance to the health of HIV-positive individuals and the improvement in the life quality of these patients.
