AB The authors' primary purpose was to identify home healthcare needs of
adults (N = 244) living with HIV disease/AIDS. The study followed a
retrospective chart review of a stratified random sample of cases
discharged during 1991 from a certified home health agency (CHHA) in New
York City. Frequently observed signs and symptoms included dyspnea,
weakness, fatigue/lethargy, pain, ataxia, cough, skin lesions, and
memory deficit. Additional problems identified included inadequate
nutrition, issues related to compliance with prescribed medications,
inadequate in-home support systems, inadequate facilities/utilities in
the home, financial concerns and lifestyles that included drug/alcohol
abuse and tobacco use. The results suggest that the health care needs of
people living with HIV disease/AIDS in the home care setting are
multifaceted and extend beyond the clinical manifestations of HIV
disease.
