“…However, in Brazil, there is a lack of information among health professionals ( 13 ), especially among nurses ( 14 ), which makes it difficult to assist and monitor PLHTLV, as nurses must be able to identify diagnoses and plan interventions that are appropriate to improve the quality of care provided to the patient ( 14 , 15 ). Associated with this, HTLV infection remains a public health problem in Brazil, with the absence of effective public policies that allow the reduction of transmission and the use of therapeutic measures ( 11 ).…”

“…Associated with this, HTLV infection remains a public health problem in Brazil, with the absence of effective public policies that allow the reduction of transmission and the use of therapeutic measures ( 11 ). In this sense, the importance of building effective care plans is highlighted based on validation studies of tests and the creation of protocols ( 11 ), which provide an improvement in quality of life ( 15 ) and reduce vulnerability among PLHTLV ( 13 ).…”

IntroductionThe absence of nursing care plans aimed at people living with HTLV-1 (PLHTLV) led us to develop and test a proposed nursing care plan based on the evaluation of 55 PLHTLV to outline interventions according to the clinical stage.MethodsAfter interviews with symptomatic patients, nursing diagnoses were made using the NANDA International Nursing Diagnoses (The International Nursing Knowledge Association). Subsequently, interventions were selected through the Classification of Nursing Interventions (NIC), and expected results were selected through the Classification of Nursing Outcomes (NOC).ResultsThe actual diagnoses included (ii) chronic pain, (iii) impaired urinary elimination, and (iv) sexual dysfunction; the health promotion diagnosis was (i) risk-prone health behavior; and the risk diagnoses were (i) risk of feeling powerless and (ii) risk of falls in adults. Nursing care must prevent the lack of adherence to monitoring, establish goals and promote family involvement. A safe home environment requires intervention for fall prevention. Full support in understanding pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies for chronic pain is needed. Interventions allow patients with impaired urinary function to be reintroduced to society. For sexual dysfunction, it is necessary to discuss safe sex and behavioral changes. Regarding risk behaviors, it is necessary to guide the patient/family, adapt language to the education level of these individuals, and help them better accept the condition, among other guidelines.ConclusionThe development of a nursing care plan for PLHTLV is essential for preventing the rapid progression of disease and the improvement of the quality of life of PLHTLV and should be included in the multidisciplinary approach to the secondary level of prevention of HTLV-1.
