Abstract

The aim was to evaluate the evidence available in scientific articles on how family care influences compliance with anti-retroviral therapy in children with HIV/aids. It is an integrative review undertaken in April 2012 using the databases Lilacs and Medline using the descriptors [HIV or AIDS] and [child] and [compliance with medication or therapy or high activity antiretroviral therapy or antiretrovirals]. A total of 8 articles was analyzed. It was evidenced that family care has a positive influence when: there is free access to antiretrovirals; the diagnosis was not revealed; the family could rely on support; they check the ingestion; use the fear of dying; they use strategies for facilitating ingestion. The following situations influence the care negatively: stress; blaming; institutional care; neglect; difficulty in understanding the treatment; being an orphan; weak socio-economic situations. The work of the health team, through guidance which is consistent with the routine and the level of family understanding, is essential in the attempt to interfere efficaciously in the issue of adherence.
