Caring for the caregiver in HIV and AIDS programmesPrimo, Marlene Wilma 31 March 2007 (has links)
Many of the caring tasks previously done by health care professionals are these days
handled by caregivers. Caregivers are selected, trained and to a certain extend
supervised. Little attention is however given to the effects that care giving has on
their physical and mental health and own needs for caring and support.
This study is an exploratory, qualitative and quantitative investigation into the effects
of care giving on the physical and mental health of caregivers in HIV and AIDS
programmes to determine their needs for ongoing support.
A literature study was supplemented by an empirical investigation. The literature
study and empirical investigation proved that care giving has a tremendous impact on
the lives of caregivers.
Recommendations resulting from the study are the need for more education and skills
for caregivers, support through counselling, debriefing and support groups, policies
and guidelines that makes provision for caregivers to be registered and receive a fixed
income. / Social Work / M. A. ((SS)(Mental Health)Social Work)

The effect of orphanhood on the psychosocial development of pre-primary and primary school learnersMoime, Winnifred Motsei 01 1900 (has links)
D.Ed. (Psychology of Education) / Although the human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is still very much a silent issue in South Africa, the AIDS pandemic has become a public problem which is threatening to a significant proportion of the population of South Africa (Heartbeat 2002:1; Kaseke and Gumbo 2001:53). HIV infections are on the rise and people are dying every day of AIDS related diseases (Msomi, 2000:8). Thus, the overall aim of this research was to determine how the HIV/AIDS orphans’/vulnerable children’ psychosocial status is affected by the HIV/AIDS disease.
The study was conducted in the Bojanala Region of the North West Province. A purposeful sampling was used because four (4) schools were suggested by the Department of Social Services in the Rustenburg Area due to their high populace with HIV/AIDS orphans. The other four (4) schools were suggested by the Auxiliary Services Division in the Bojanala Region of Education.
The literature revealed that failure on part of the parent, guardian and/or teachers to meet the psychological needs of the child at a certain stage in his/her development may result in personality disorders, which can become a potential danger and a source of unhappiness to the individual him/herself (cf. 2.5). Furthermore, it was evident from the literature that chronic parental illness may have a traumatic effect on young children because both parents may neglect a child (cf. 4.2). The literature also revealed that children should not be viewed as passive recipients of assistance, but as active participants who play a key role in the development of responses to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Receiving quality services is a right and a need not only of AIDS orphans, but also of all children (cf. 4.6).
From the quantitative data analysis, the following findings emerged, that HIV/AIDS orphans/vulnerable children are optimistic about their future. Children do not blame themselves for their parents’ death.
Arising from this research certain conclusions were drawn, recommendations were made and areas for possible future research were suggested. / Teacher Education
