Abstract

Objective: To analyze the association between nursing diagnoses and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in people living with AIDS.

Method: Cross-sectional study with 100 people living with AIDS in a University Hospital. Data collection took place between January and July 2015, using an interview script and physical examination. The association occurred through Pearson's Chi-Square Test and Fisher's Exact Test.

Results: The most prevalent nursing diagnoses were: ineffective protection, poor knowledge, lack of adherence and sexual dysfunction. Significant associations were observed among nursing diagnoses with the following sociodemographic and clinical characteristics: marital status, place of residence, level of schooling, family income, modes of transmission of acquired immunodeficiency virus, current opportunistic infection, abandonment of treatment, difficulty of access to health services and use of alcohol and illicit drugs.

Conclusion: The diagnoses presented significant associations with sociodemographic and clinical aspects.
