Abstract

This study aimed to report the use of the Systematization of Nursing Care elaborated based on the Basic Human Needs of an individual hospitalized with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome in December 2011. The method was a case study, which was approved by the Research Ethics Committee; among the nursing diagnoses, 11 specified physiological needs, six specified security needs, four specified social needs, three specified esteem needs, and one, self-actualization needs. The existence of unmet needs, such as hope and actualization, hindered the individual’s motivation to meet elementary needs such as the physiological ones. It is concluded that the process of assisting must be planned, based on the individual’s needs, as he or she is the center of the nursing actions.
