Objective:
to analyze the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with valvular heart disease and to verify the influence of these variables on the impact of valve disease in daily life.
Method:
the study involved 86 outpatients. Data collection was performed in two stages - face-to-face interview for sociodemographic and clinical characterization and through telephone contact for the application of the Instrument to Measure the Impact of Valvular Heart Disease on Patient's Everyday Life (IDCV). Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.
Results:
it was noticed that the total score of IDCV and its domains were influenced by age, schooling, presence or absence of symptoms, use or not of diuretic.
Conclusion:
The impact of the disease was influenced by sociodemographic and clinical variables. The results provide subsidies for the design of nursing interventions aimed at reducing the impact of the disease on the patient's daily life with valve disease.

Objective:
to analyze the prevalence and factors associated with inconsistent use of condoms among people living with HIV/ Aids (PLWHA).
Method:
it is a cross-sectional study with 228, with individual interviews conducted in 2011. A multivariate analysis was performed with a logistic regression model.
Results:
143 participants met the inclusion criteria, and the prevalence of inconsistent condom use was 28.7%. However, there was greater adherence among men (79.3%). In the multivariate analysis, the independent variable daily use of alcohol (OR=11.02; 95% CI 1.84, 65.92; p = 0.021) was associated with inconsistent condom use. The chance of men making consistent condom use was higher than women (OR = 0.36, 95% CI 0.15, 0.81; p = 0.015).
Conclusion:
the prevalence of inconsistent condom male use among PLWHA was low, however, evidenced greater compliance among men over women with a statistically significant difference and the daily use of alcohol was associated with inconsistent condom use.
