An exploration of the life-experiences of AIDS-orphans in kinship foster care in South AfricaTissiman, Lindy Michelle 04 1900 (has links)
Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
have many devastating impacts, including the growing number of AIDS-orphans left without
care. In the study, semi-structured interviews, incomplete sentences and Kinetic family drawings
were used to explore the life-experiences and perceptions of AIDS-orphans living in kinship
foster care, from a Gestalt perspective. The study revealed that the majority of the AIDS-orphans
included were making good contact at the contact boundary and all the respondents were not
familiar with the term 'foster care'. The researcher therefore recommended that children are
educated about foster care at school, thus possibly increasing the awareness of foster care in
South Africa, thus possibly increasing the provision of homes for the vastly growing numbers of
AIDS-orphans in our country and perhaps make a difference in society. / Sociology / M. Diac. (Play therapy)
