32	Perceptions and attitudes of family members of people living with HIV and AIDS towards community caregivers Nziyane, Luzile Florence 30 November 2005 (has links) The escalating number of people infected by HIV and AIDS poses a challenge to current resources both at the hospital and household level. Community/Home based care is a viable option in response to the scourge of HIV/AIDS to compliment secondary and tertiary care as well as providing support to affected families in coping with the stress of caring for their terminally ill family members. This study explored the effectiveness of the implementation of Community/Home based care services by focusing on three sites at Bushbuckridge i.e. Cunningmore, Maviljan and Hluvukani. Findings revealed that family members were satisfied to have community caregivers entering their homes to provide care and support to their AIDS ill family members. Significant barriers were highlighted by families and community caregivers that hinder effective implementation of the programme, for instance, cultural sensitivity. The study proffered recommendations on how to deal with these issues. / SOCIAL WORK / MA(SS) (SOCIAL WORK) HIV and AIDS Community/home based care Community caregivers Care giving People living with HIV and AIDS Extended family Perceptions Attitudes Support Satisfaction 362.19697920096825 Home nursing-- South Africa-- Limpopo HIV infections-- South Africa-- Limpopo
