This study aimed to identify the main factors that contribute to the QoL of patients living with HIV. It was a bibliographic research of the integrative literature review type. This procedure was chosen because it allows the synthesis and analysis of scientific knowledge already produced on the subject. 282 studies were identified in the databases. After eliminating 72 duplicate articles, 210 articles were selected. Of these, 88 were excluded after analyzing the titles and abstracts. Of the 122 eligible articles, they were excluded for the following reasons: 55 were not available in full; 55 did not meet the time frame. In the end, 12 studies were included in the integrative review. Of the 12 studies analyzed, in terms of general characteristics, the oldest publication was from 2017; all twelve articles were national, but studies were prevalent in the southeast region, which represented six (50%), in second place came the northeast region with five (41.6%). Regarding the type of approach, two (16.6%) were qualitative and ten (83.4%) used a quantitative approach. It was identified that the Quality of Life of people affected by HIV/AIDS is directly associated with the domain in which it is analyzed, that is, several factors can positively or negatively influence this evaluation. It was also noticed that the main factors that contribute to the poor quality of life were: stigma, prejudice, difficulty in adhering to treatment, spirituality, psychological suffering, religious orientation, employment status, precarious living conditions, and coinfection as another pathology, especially with Tuberculosis.

Este estudo objetivou descrever com base na literatura os principais cuidados prestados a pacientes em estado terminal. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, para a busca foi utilizado os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde: Cuidado Paliativo; Profissionais da Saúde; Unidade de Terapia Intensiva; Doença terminal em português e inglês é foi realizada através das bases: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Sistema Regional de Informação em Linha para Revistas Científicas da América Latina, Caribe, Espanha e Portugal, Grupo Verde de Agroecologia e Abelhas, Sistema Online de Busca e Análise de Literatura Médica. Desta forma após a busca sistemática e aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram analisados 09 artigos científicos no período de 2017 a 2021. Os manuscritos permitiram concluir que os principais cuidados desempenhados para os pacientes em terminalidade que se encontram em cuidados paliativos são: a prestação de cuidados básicos aos pacientes que dependem de competência técnico-científica da equipe; o uso de fitoterápicos com as plantas medicinais; o uso de novas tecnologias, desde que respeitem os preceitos éticos, sobretudo voltado para melhoria da qualidade de vida; e o cuidado espiritual que mesmo não sendo desempenhado pela equipe, este pode ser despendido a medida que o paciente tem alguma crença. Vale ressaltar que apesar dos achados, ainda existe um vácuo na literatura, no que diz respeito aos cuidados paliativos. Uma vez que cada manuscrito traz um cuidado diferente. Assim sendo, sugere-se que novos estudos sejam realizados e que estes tragam uma sistematização dos cuidados, o que irá facilitar a sua aplicação.
