Nurses' understanding and implementation of mental health screening among HIV infected in LimpopoModula, Mantji Juliah 06 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to explore the understanding and implementation of the guidelines by nurses to detect mental disorders in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) management in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. The study aimed to recommend measures to strengthen implementation practices. Qualitative, exploratory and descriptive approach was conducted. Non-probability purposive sampling was used to select primary health professional nurses trained in HIV programme at primary health care facilities in Capricorn District. Data were collected through focus groups and in-depth individual interviews approach using the interview guide. The interviews started with focus group discussions as primary method and in-depth individual interviews as follow-up. Interviews were tape recorded and transcribed.
Data were analysed using Creswell’s data analysis steps. Four themes emerged from data: understanding of HIV management guidelines; implementation of the guidelines; strengthening of mental health screening and competencies required for mental health screening. The study revealed that the nurses who did not have psychiatric nursing as an additional qualification lacked confidence and skills to conduct mental health screening in HIV positive infected individuals. However, they used their background nursing knowledge to manage clients. They all experienced challenges with information provided in the guidelines to screen for mental health in HIV management.
Based on the results of this study, it was recommended that there should be integration of mental health and HIV and development of practical assessment tools for mental health screening. The study acknowledges the importance of equipping nurses with adequate skills to diagnose altered mental health states among HIV infected individuals. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)

Experiences of professional nurses working in the Maximum Security Ward - A Case study of Hayani Hospital, Vhembe DistrictMulaudzi, Mulatedzi Precious 17 May 2019 (has links)
MCur / Departrment of Advanced Nursing Science / In mental health, a Maximum-Security Ward is a special setting for care of patients
who are unique and exceptional. People who have committed crimes due to their
mental conditions are admitted for care, treatment and rehabilitation. Patients admitted
in this ward are verbally and physically aggressive, violent, unpredictable,
unmanageable and at times manipulative. Professional nurses working in the
Maximum-Security Ward are at risk of suffering from occupational stress, burnout, lack
motivation and are anxious. The aim of this study is to investigate the experiences of
professional nurses working in the Maximum-Security Ward at Hayani hospital. A
qualitative approach using a descriptive, exploratory and contextual design was used.
A purposive, convenient sampling was used to sample professional nurses working in
the Maximum-Security Ward of Hayani hospital. In-depth interviews were used to
collect data. A voice recorder was utilised to record all data and the researcher being
the main instrument for data collection. Dependability, confirmability and transferability
were upheld to ensure trustworthiness of the findings. Data was analysed using Tech’s
eight steps approach. Three themes with their categories and subcategories emerged
after data analysis. The themes were as follows: the participants’ views on type of
patients admitted in the ward, participants’ views on safety in the ward and
participants’ views on staff interaction. The study recommended the following:
Emotional counselling and debriefing sessions to be conducted at regular intervals or
after a traumatic incident. Motivational and team building activities to be organised for
professional nurses. Safety of professional nurses must be of significant value. More
support is needed in times of emotional difficulties. Development of a model to support
professional nurses. / NRF

The feasability of implementing community based care for moderately mentally-retarded persons in a specific centre in Port ElizabethNgcanga, Nosipho Margaret 11 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of implementing community based care for moderately mentally retarded persons in a specific centre in the Port Elizabeth area. The objectives of the study were to identify • the needs of the moderately mentally retarded children. • the physical, psychosocial and vocational rehabilitation means of meeting these needs. • how involved the communities, parents and government were in the care of moderately mentally retarded children. A quantitative, exploratmy and descriptive design was used. A sample of 50 moderately mentally retarded children was utilised. Data were collected by means of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The major research findings indicate that community care for MMRPs could only be feasible with sufficient resources, expertise and community involvement. All these aspects appeared to be lacking in the centre where this research was conducted raising questions as to benefits which the mentally retarded children and their parents and the community could derive from these services. However recommendations were made on identified shortcomings, problems and needs. / Health Science / M.A.(Nursing Science)
