Methods:Cross-sectional analytical study using a sociodemographic instrument and CEAT-HIV, with data collected in the period from 2014-2015.Results: A 75.0% was identified as having a good/proper adhesion. It was found that individuals between ages 40 and 59 (p = 0.029) and with morethan eight years of formal education (p = 0.043) had a higher level of compliance, as well as those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS for more than 10 years (p = 0.002), CD4 count >350 cells/mm3 (p<0,001) and an undetectable viral load (p=0,025). Conclusion:In this study, a good adhesion between the subjects was identified and it was observed that individuals of older age, higher level of education, delayed diagnosis, high CD4 cell counts and undetectable viral load were associated with higher treatment adherence.Keywords: Medication adherence.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a adesão aos antirretrovirais de pessoas vivendo com o HIV/AIDS e identificar sua associação com variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas.Métodos: Estudo analítico transversal que utilizou instrumento sociodemográfico e o CEAT-HIV, com dados coletados no período de 2014 a 2015.Resultados: Identificou-se 75,0% com grau de adesão bom/adequado. Verificou-se que os indivíduos com idade entre 40 e 59 anos (p=0,029) e com mais de oito anos de estudo (p=0,043) obtiveram maior grau de adesão, assim como aqueles com diagnóstico de HIV/AIDS há mais de 10 anos (p=0,002), contagem de TCD4 >350 células/mm 3 (p<0,001) e carga viral indetectável (p=0,025). Conclusão:Nesse estudo, identificou-se uma boa adesão entre os sujeitos e observou-se que indivíduos de maior faixa etária, maior grau de escolaridade, maior tempo de diagnóstico, elevada contagem de células TCD4 e carga viral indetectável estiveram associados a uma maior adesão ao tratamento.Palavras-chave: Adesão à medicação.

Abstract. [Purpose] This study attempted to assess the impact of pain on the life of breast cancer survivors using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). [Subjects and Methods] A cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants comprised 30 women, aged 30-80 years, who had received treatment for breast cancer (surgery and complementary treatment) at least 12 months prior to the study and had reported chronic pain related to the treatment procedures.[Results] The highest scores were found for "mood" (median: 5.00 points; first quartile: 1.00 points; third quartile: 7.25 points), "normal work" (median: 5.00 points; first quartile: 0.00 points; third quartile: 8.00 points), and "sleep" (median: 4.50 points, first quartile: 0.00 points, third quartile: 8.00 points).[Conclusion] Pain exerts a negative impact primarily on mood, normal work, and sleep among breast cancer survivors.
