The psycho-educational needs of children orphaned by AIDS as perceived by their caregivers / Marieke Cornelia van RooyenVan Rooyen, Marieke Cornelia January 2011 (has links)
During the past decade, South Africa has become the country with the highest number of
HIV/AIDS infections in the world. In the wake of the widely spread HIV/AIDS epidemic in
South Africa, hundreds of thousands of children are left parentless. Since limited research exists
on the psycho-educational needs of children orphaned by AIDS in South Africa, the focus of this
study was on their psycho-educational development.
A literature study was conducted to investigate the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa and its
consequences for the psycho-educational development of AIDS orphans.
A qualitative investigation was undertaken and interviews were conducted with caregivers of
AIDS orphans at two care centres in rural KwaZulu-Natal. The aim of the investigation was to
identify the psycho-educational needs of AIDS orphans as perceived by their caregivers.
Moreover, the investigation also aimed at identifying factors that impede the psycho-educational
development of AIDS orphans, and to determine the extent to which these day care centres meet
the psycho-educational needs of these orphans.
The following psycho-educational needs of AIDS orphans emerged from the investigation:
- the need to socialise and communicate
- the need to cope with parental death
- the need for acceptance
- the need for security and care
- the need for love and belonging
- the need to deal with negative emotions
Physical and material needs were added to the above needs, since these were frequently
mentioned during the course of the interviews.
Factors that seriously impeded the psycho-educational development of AIDS orphans were abuse
and neglect. The investigation also revealed that the care centres were to a large extent able to
meet a broad spectrum of these orphans’ psycho-educational needs, especially at the care centre
where the AIDS orphans were able to sleep over and received the full-time attention caregivers.
Since the extended family system can no longer fully carry the burden of hundreds of thousands
of AIDS orphans in South Africa, care centres situated in the affected communities can offer a viable alternative to traditional models of care. The study emphasised the need for further
research on the needs of AIDS orphans as well as increased support of AIDS orphans on local,
provincial and national levels. / MEd (Learner support), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012

Die kerk en die sorggewers van VIGS-weeskindersStrydom, Marina 01 January 2002 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Weens die veeleisende aard van sorggewing aan VIGS-weeskinders, bevind die sorggewers hulle dikwels in 'n posisie waar hulle self sorg en ondersteuning nodig het. Die vraag het begin ontstaan op watter manier hierdie sorggewers ondersteun kan word. Dit het duidelik geword dat die kerk vanuit hul sosiale verantwoordelikheid sorg en ondersteuning aan die sorggewers kan bied.
Sorggewers van een instansie wat aan die navorsingsreis deelgeneem het, het inderdaad nie genoeg sorg en ondersteuning van die kerk ontvang nie. Hierdie gebrek aan ondersteuning het 'n direkte invloed op die sorggewers se hantering van sorggewingseise. Sorggewers van die ander twee deelnemende instansies ontvang genoeg ondersteuning van lidmate, en dit maak 'n groot verskil aan hoe sorggewingspanning beleef word. In hierdie studie is daar krities gekyk na wyses waarop die kerk betrokke is en verder kan betrokke raak by die sorggewers van VIGSweeskinders. / Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology / M.Th.

An assessment tool for social workers to identify risk behaviour in foster children / Narina BesterBester, Narina January 2014 (has links)
Problem statement
Due to HIV and AIDS impacting on communities, devastating consequences have been predicted. The number of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in need of care is escalating, causing social workers’ caseloads to become unmanageable. These OVC who lost their parents through death are suffering multiple losses due to being orphaned. The material, protection and affection needs have to be addressed in a holistic, eco-systematic, multidisciplinary team approach. In practice social workers tend to focus mainly on the material and protection needs of OVC due to high caseloads and staff turnover, neglecting their affection needs. Social workers need to work with foster parents and children in identifying potential risk factors that could lead to risk behaviour in foster children who have lost their parents through death. The researcher designed an assessment tool that could enable social workers in practice to do an effective risk assessment of OVC in foster care. Intervention could be planned accordingly by setting goals to address risk factors timeously in an attempt to prevent future problem behaviour in OVC placed in foster care. Aim
To develop an assessment tool for social workers to identify risk behaviour in foster children who have experienced multiple losses such as the loss of one or both parents.
Method
A mixed methods design was used, specifically the sequential and explanatory design which involved collecting and analysing both qualitative and quantitative data. These obtained data were then connected and integrated.
Results
It was proved that a Risk assessment tool helped social workers to identify risk factors in a team effort between social workers, foster parents and children. Meeting the psychosocial needs of OVC placed in foster care more effectively is important in order to prevent the development of negative behaviour. / PhD (Social Work), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015
