A forma clínica da tuberculose mais registrada foi a pulmonar (87%). Observou-se que a tuberculose ainda é uma doença preocupante no estado de Pernambuco e necessita de maiores investimentos na prevenção e controle.
Objectives: To evaluate the quality of life of patients coinfected with HIV/tuberculosis and to understand their perception of their health. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a hospital in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Data were collected between November 2017 and April 2018 through interviews. The WHOQOL-HIV Bref instrument was used, obtaining the total score and performance in the domains: physical, psychological, level of independence, social relationships, environment, spirituality. Sociodemographic and clinical data from the Logistic Control System of Medicines (SICLOM®) were also collected through a questionnaire. Results: Twenty-six patients were interviewed, 76.9% were male, mostly heterosexual, single, 43.1% presented an advanced state of immune system compromise. 73.1% considered their health "good" or "very good" and 69.2% did not consider themselves sick. The general quality of life, score from zero (worst quality of life) to one hundred (best quality of life) obtained an average of 69.6 ± 9.1. In the domains, the worst average was obtained at the independence level (11.1 ± 2.6) and the highest scores were in the spirituality (15.5 ± 3.8) and psychological (15.3 ± 2.2) domains. Conclusions: The low level of independence and the unfavorable socioeconomic conditions were important aspects influencing in the quality of life of the studied population. Knowledge about the most affected domains in the quality of life allows the elaboration of clinical guidelines and public assistance policies that contribute to the well-being of these patients.
RESUMO-O objetivo do estudo foi estabelecer uma relação entre o surgimento das farmácias de rede própria, que fazem parte do programa Farmácia Popular (PFP), e a ampliação do acesso aos medicamentos no País. Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, durante o período de 2004 à 2017. Os dados foram obtidos da SAGE (Sala de Apoio à Gestão Estratégica), instrumento que contém informações relacionadas ao SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) e ao Ministério da Saúde. Foram coletados dados referentes ao número de farmácias populares no Brasil, nos estados e regiões. A análise estatística foi feita no programa Microsoft Excel ®. A partir da análise dos dados verificou-se a existência de 497 farmácias populares da rede própria no Brasil, das quais 37,4% se concentram na região Nordeste e 32,6% na região Centro-Oeste. O estado que apresenta o maior número de farmácias foi São Paulo (15,7%) e o estado com o menor número de farmácias foi Roraima (0,2%). Observou-se que o número de farmácias da rede própria populares não é tão abrangente e que ainda é necessária uma maior ampliação do acesso aos medicamentos.
