Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a critical global challenge. This study applied the nursing care process to HIV patients at the OrphAids Foundation in Santo Domingo in 2023. The research identified sociodemographic data, level of HIV knowledge, altered needs, formulated nursing diagnoses, and developed and implemented an action plan, evaluating the results obtained. The design was quantitative, non-experimental, field and descriptive cross-sectional with eight participants aged 14 to 22 years. The findings revealed deficiencies in hydration, physical activity, sleep and emotional well-being. Post-intervention, there was a marked improvement in HIV knowledge, demonstrating the effectiveness of the nursing care process. This study highlights the importance of comprehensive nursing care in improving the quality of life of HIV patients.
