Nos distritos de Nicoadala e Derre localizados na prov\u00edncia da Zamb\u00e9zia, a C-Sa\u00fade tem intensificado as suas ac\u00e7\u00f5es em colabora\u00e7\u00e3o com a Dire\u00e7c\u00e3o Provincial de Sa\u00fade da Zamb\u00e9zia (DPSZ), com o objectivo de oferecer suporte integral \u00e0s pessoas vivendo com HIV. Compreendendo que a experi\u00eancia de ser pessoa vivendo com HIV vai al\u00e9m das quest\u00f5es f\u00edsicas e cl\u00ednicas, a abordagem psicossocial do Minist\u00e9rio da Sa\u00fade (MISAU) busca abordar as diversas dimens\u00f5es que permeiam a vida das pessoas que vivem com HIV, proporcionando suporte emocional essencial.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Feelings of fear, anxiety and depression are common among people living with HIV, often intensified by negative social perceptions still present in society. The psychosocial counselling promoted by MISAU and implemented by C-Sa\u00fade aims to create a safe environment where trained professionals work to improve understanding of the condition, helping patients to develop skills that enable them to face social barriers and unfair treatment often associated with the diagnosis.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As of August, this year, in Nicoadala and Derre, there were 30,693 patients on antiretroviral treatment, of which 864 are adolescents and young people aged 15 to 24, and 1.369 children aged 0 to 14. One of the pillars of the programme is the promotion of adherence to antiretroviral treatment, and emotional support is fundamental for these patients to face the barriers that can make adherence difficult. Psychosocial support therefore acts as a driving force, encouraging healthy practices and promoting a care routine that respects patients’ emotional needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Interpersonal relationships are also profoundly affected by an HIV diagnosis. In this context, C-Sa\u00fade plays a vital role in facilitating communication and promoting diagnostic disclosure among family members, carers and spouses\/partners. This support is essential for building an environment of better understanding of the disease and the treatment process as well as welcoming, allowing patients, through support groups, to feel comfortable sharing their experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, sense of self and self-esteem are often impacted by an HIV diagnosis. By promoting support groups, C-Sa\u00fade offers a safe space for patients to reconnect with\u00a0their sense of self and strengthen their self-image. The aim is to help each patient see beyond the diagnosis, rediscovering their individual value.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Os profissionais de sa\u00fade mental apoiados pela C-Sa\u00fade dedicam-se a garantir que os utentes tenham acesso a cuidados adequados e a grupos de apoio, assegurando que as suas necessidades de sa\u00fade sejam atendidas. A educa\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 outra componente fundamental deste processo; o acompanhamento psicossocial envolve a promo\u00e7\u00e3o de informa\u00e7\u00e3o e esclarecimento de d\u00favidas sobre o HIV, contribuindo para o maior conhecimento sobre a doen\u00e7a e incentivando pr\u00e1ticas de sa\u00fade seguras.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A sa\u00fade mental, intrinsecamente ligada \u00e0 sa\u00fade f\u00edsica, n\u00e3o pode ser negligenciada. O acompanhamento psicossocial inclui um cuidado constante com a sa\u00fade mental dos pacientes, abordando quest\u00f5es como ansiedade, depress\u00e3o e transtornos relacionados ao estresse.\nEm suma, o trabalho da C-Sa\u00fade na Zamb\u00e9zia demonstra que o acompanhamento psicossocial n\u00e3o \u00e9 apenas uma necessidade, mas uma estrat\u00e9gia crucial para a melhoria da qualidade de vida e reten\u00e7\u00e3o das pessoas que vivem com HIV.<\/span><\/p>\n
