Projektbeschreibung Arbeitsplan und Methoden |
Thanks to the arrival of new therapies, the problem of non-hospitalised assistance
for people with HIV/AIDS can be considered more like chronic assistance when
the HIV-infection problem is connected with previously existing problems such
as drug addiction, poverty due to serious social conditions (homeless) or
immigration, psychiatric illness and postdrug penal condition. Owing to the
long period of assistance resulting after possible infection care (even if
not final), it has been found necessary to pay particular attention to the
rehabilitation of these particular groups of patients who require other social
health intervention due to additional, existing conditions other than the
virus care. The consequences emerging from the previous studies of the two
European projects promoted by Cooperativa Farsi Prossimo of Caritas Ambrosiana
of Milan and Milan City Council (project number SOC 97 202348 05F02 1997/1998
and project number 99/SID/093), have revealed a change from the assistance
until death towards organisation of rehabilitation and programming of possible
living. In fact while until recently health care was necessary in communities,
hospices or shelters, nowadays we have to use different kinds of psychological
and social support. Intervention to bring the assisted people to their reinstatement
in work and society. The chroniced pathol-ogy is transforming the kind of
users needing outside hospital assistance, whether in shelters or communities
or hospices such as apartments, day centres. In many European countries the
HIV infection connected drug addiction phenomenon has been extremely important
right from the beginning. Even now this is the case and multiproblematic
phenomena are emerging even more in this kind of people in connection with
clinically and socially disadvantageous situations which often reveal, inhibition
to drug infection and drug use, psychiatric, neurological, penal, social deviation
and in some cases immigration problems (since for certain immigration groups,
lifestyle can cause druguse and all the relevant consequences). Another problem,
which has created outside-hospital help difficulties, whether through help
or therapy adherence and contact with sick people, concerns the preexisting
psychiatrie pathology er neurological pathology caused by the Virus. In this
situation the contacts with the psychiatrie services and commiunities are
very difficult. Considering the foregoing, the project is attempting to study
thc replies obtained in several European Nations concerning these problematics
and the charaeteristics of the patients.
METHODS: The comparison, in the partner cities, will consequently give us
opera-tional indications on die various types of assistance and intervention
techniques foreseen. Particular attention will be given to die study of various
health systems and contribution of non governmental organisations. Based
on the experience of the European projects effected in 1998—2000 and the
contribution of die partners who took part in the projects enlarged to other
European cities and other countries we want to organise four European seminars
where the different realities of national assistance and the methodology
organised to reply to the needs of patients with drug addiction, poverty
problems such as immigration, homelessness, social emargination, penal and
psychiatric problems, will be discussed. |
