Does the provision of services for HIV positive patients, including the provision of antiretroviral therapy, meet the needs and expectations of employers in KnysnaGiddy, Laurel Anne 23 July 2015 (has links)
In South Africa, the highest HIV prevalence is amongst young people, who may have the greatest potential to contribute to the country’s economy.
South Africa has one of the world’s largest antiretroviral (ARV) rollout programs.
Like all medications, ARVs need to be taken as prescribed to be safe and effective. Excellent adherence is necessary to ensure that drug resistance does not develop. HIV cannot be cured, and at present ARVs must be taken for the rest of the patient’s life.
In the ARV clinic in Knysna, an unanticipated category of patients has been identified: those who “bounce” in and out of long term therapy. Not only do these patients put their own health at risk, but the development and transmission of drug resistant HIV threatens the potential treatment options of the whole community.
One of the problems identified in recurrently defaulting patients, is the difficulty in maintaining long term adherence to an ARV treatment program, while in full time employment.
This is because as time goes on, patients need to balance the need for ARV care, which has rigorous clinic attendance parameters, with work attendance. Many employees have only twelve days of paid sick leave per annum, and patients require an average of eleven clinic visits in the first six months of treatment.
This qualitative study gauges whether the services provided to HIV positive people living in Knysna meets the needs of their employers.
The study interviewed both employees and employers to gauge the effects of HIV on local businesses, and explored the knowledge and attitudes of employers towards services provided by the Knysna ARV program.
Employers were asked to suggest ways in which the services could be improved to better meet their needs, and ultimately, the needs of their employees.

From a synchronous systems model to an ecological approach to rehabilitation of the stroke patientJoubert, Lynette Barbara 11 1900 (has links)
The literature on stroke reveals an increasing interest in the role played by social and emotional factors in
rehabilitation after stroke. A comprehensive literature survey shows profiles of spontaneous recovery, the significance of a team approach to rehabilitation, patterns of prognostic significance for long-term recovery and adaptation and formulations of rehabilitation models for the Western world. The importance of depression as a major factor in demotivation to participate in rehabilitation and achieve long-term quality of life post-stroke emerges.
From the literature survey a research design was formulated for the ecological study of a sample of 51 stroke
patients at Ga-Rankuwa Hospital near Pretoria. The questionnaire was structured according to the Synchronous
Systems Model, and data gathered from the biological, personal and environmental spheres of patients. Data was
collected by a multidisciplinary team at three assessment times, three days, two weeks and three months post-stroke. These corresponded to the acute physical phase of stroke, the end of the hospitalisation period, and an assessment of patients once they had been discharged back into the community. Descriptive statistics were obtained on all variables and principle axis factor analysis was performed to verify the factorial structure of the tests. In order to establish whether group scores changed between assessments, t-tests for dependent measures were applied. Pearson Product Moment correlations were computed for the purpose of establishing
relationships between variables. The results revealed dramatically differing biographical characteristics of the sample of stroke patients both premorbidly and at three months after the stroke. Significant recovery profiles emerged in both the physical and neuropsychological spheres at both the 14 day and 3 month assessments. Depression and the functioning at home and at work social sphere of role emerged as profiles of deterioration. At 14 days, depression was related to physical and cerebral functioning. This changed at three months, with depression also being significantly related to aspects of social functioning. On the basis of these results, depression after stroke was conceptualised as a severance of relational connectedness in the social ecological functioning of stroke patients. An ecological approach to rehabilitation is proposed that would seek to reframe the identity of stroke patients and establish relational connectedness post-stroke. / Psychology / D. Litt. et Phil.
