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)
