Abstract
Introduction: The HIV/AIDS pandemic in Spanish prison institutions has led to a series of necessary changes to adapt and provide an effective response. Materials and Methods: This research was conducted from an interpretative paradigm with a phenomenological perspective, interpreting the experiences of nursing professionals in Spanish prison institutions. Focus groups were conducted with professionals who worked before and after the emergence of antiretroviral treatments through the Microsoft Teams platform, using the ATLAS Ti v.9 software. The project received approval from the Ethics Committee of the UJI university. Results: Limited dissemination of news in the press regarding HIV/AIDS and Spanish prisons was observed. Changes occurred in organizational, material, and personnel resources, requiring adaptation among nursing professionals. The available resources and difficulties are described, along with patient perspectives, the role of professionals, their environment, and their experiences, both positive and negative. Discussion and Conclusions: There is minimal visibility of the problem, and a description is provided of an adaptation process to the environment compatible with the Callista Roy´s model.
