Configuração identitária de enfermeiros de um serviço de atendimento móvel de urgência
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar como tem se configurado a identidade de enfermeiros que trabalham em um Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU), baseando-se no modelo de Dubar. Procedeu-se a um estudo qualitativo, cujos dados foram coletados, principalmente, por meio de entrevistas realizadas com enfermeiros e outros membros da equipe, e submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Quanto à identidade do enfermeiro, os resultados apontam para um sujeito diferenciado, experiente, solitário, mais próximo das atividades assistenciais, em busca de capacitação e reconhecimento, envolto em relações de trabalho complexas. Diante das limitações da pesquisa e de questões que surgiram no seu processo de consecução, sugestões para investigações futuras são alinhadas ao final do artigo

Evaluation of inadequate anti-retroviral treatment in patients with HIV/AIDS
INTRODUCTION: Since the emergence of antiretroviral therapy, the survival of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus has increased. Non-adherence to this therapy is directly related to treatment failure, which allows the emergence of resistant viral strains. METHODS: A retrospective descriptive study of the antiretroviral dispensing records of 229 patients from the Center for Health Care, University Hospital, Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Brazil, was conducted between January and December 2009. RESULTS: The study aimed to evaluate patient compliance and determine if there was an association between non-adherence and the therapy. Among these patients, 63.8% were men with an average age of 44.0 ± 9.9 years. The most used treatment was a combination of 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors with 1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (55.5%) or with 2 protease inhibitors (28.8%). It was found that patients taking lopinavir/ritonavir with zidovudine and lamivudine had a greater frequency of inadequate treatment than those taking atazanavir with zidovudine and lamivudine (85% and 83.3%, respectively). Moreover, when the combination of zidovudine/ lamivudine was used, the patients were less compliant (χ2 = 4.468, 1 degree of freedom, p = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of patients failed to correctly adhere to their treatment; therefore, it is necessary to implement strategies that lead to improved compliance, thus ensuring therapeutic efficacy and increased patient survival
