An exploration of the delivery of community-based psychosocial support services to children living with HIV and AIDS by the Simbarashe National Network for people living with HIV and AIDS in the Kadoma District, Zimbabwe

The delivery of psychosocial support (PSS) services to children living with HIV and AIDS
(CLHA) by PSS service providers, such as community-based organisations (CBOs) in
resource-poor settings, ensures the availability of consistent and sustainable support to
children living with HIV and AIDS. These children face various psychological and social
challenges associated with living with HIV and AIDS, such as drug adherence to HIV
medication, stigmatisation and distress, among others. This qualitative study explored
the critical factors that influence the delivery of community-based PSS services to CLHA
younger than 15 years of age in a resource-poor setting by a community-based
organisation. Multiple data-collection tools were adopted. The findings revealed the
critical factors that contributed to the delivery of community-based PSS services to
CLHA, and also ways in which these important services could be improved. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS)
