A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in the Department of Psychology, University of Zululand, 2004. / The aim of this study was to determine whether intervention programs do enhance performance of HIV/AIDS infected persons in the workplace using a qualitative design. The study explored the experience of two categories of persons in the work environment i.e. professional nurses involved in administering the program and the HIV/AIDS infected persons as recipients.
Data was collected from each category in four organizations through in-depth interviews using the qualitative approach. The phenomenological method supports the assumption that an individual's experience is more valid and reliable as it gives a realistic picture that people can relate to and agree with the findings (Chasi & de Wet, 2002). Data collected from work policy documents was used to establish what programs were in place to deal with HIV/AIDS at organizational level.
The following conclusions were made:
♦ Intervention programs enhance work performance of HIV/ AIDS infected persons
♦ Policies provide a guideline as to what strategies organizations use to deaf with
HIV/AIDS
♦ Monitoring and evaluation of intervention programs is essential in any organisation
