Overview of nursing ethics teaching in Brazilian public higher education institutions.

Objectives: to outline the teaching of ethics in undergraduate Nursing programs in Brazilian public higher education institutions.

Methods: descriptive and exploratory study, carried out through the documentary analysis of pedagogical projects of undergraduate Nursing programs in Brazil.

Results: 153 active undergraduate Nursing programs were found, of which 106 provide the pedagogical project.

Potentially inappropriate medications according to Marc, STOPP and PRISCUS criteria in a cohort of elderly HIV+ patients. The COMMPI project.

Objective: The objective is to determine the prevalence of potentially inappropriate drugs according to the Marc, STOPP, and PRISCUS lists in elderly HIV patients.

Methods: It was an observational, retrospective, and multicenter study. People living with HIV 65 years or older who underwent chronic concomitant treatment were included.

Influence of CMO pharmaceutical care model-based intervention on readmission rate in high risk HIV patients: the INFARDAR study.

Objective: Many studies have indicated that hospitalization and readmissions occur frequently, especially among people living with HIV. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of a programmed and structured pharmaceutical intervention, based on "CMO PC model" to reduce the readmission rate in high-risk HIV patients.

Methods: This was a single-center, prospective study based on a structured health intervention conducted between March-2017 and March-2018 with 12 months of follow-up at outpatient pharmacy services.

Effect on the adherence to concomitant medications after initiation of treatment with direct-acting antiviral agents against hepatitis C virus.

Introduction: Many patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) have associated comorbidities that require complex treatments. We sought to determine the impact of treatment with direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) for HCV on adherence to prescribed concomitant medications for associated comorbidities and to identify predictors of non-adherence to comedications.

Patients And Methods: HCV-infected patients treated with DAAs in a Spanish hospital between January 2015 and December 2016 and followed-up by the pharmacy unit were included in the study.

Concordance between pharmacotherapeutic complexity calculated and perceived by HIV+ patients with antiretroviral treatment.

Objective: To determine the difference between the pharmacotherapeutic complexity index by Medication Regimen Complexity Index  and it's perceived by patients through a visual analogue scale in patients  HIV+ with antiretroviral treatment.

Method: Prospective, observational study of patients HIV+ > 18 years of age  with stable antiretroviral treatment in the last three months, followed up by  external consultations of pharmaceutical care between October´17 and February ´18. The main variable of the study was the concordance between the median of  the score obtained in the pharmacotherapeutic complexity perceived  by the patients using the visual analog scale whose range of values oscillates between 0-10, categorized in low complexity (0-1) and high  complexity (2-10), and the median of the score obtained for the theoretical  pharmacotherapeutic complexity using the Medication Regimen Complexity  Index tool whose ranges of values oscillate between 1 and infinity, categorized  in low complexity (0-11) and high complexity > 11.
