HIV Disclosure to Infected Children Involving Peers
Appropriately informing HIV-infected children of their diagnosis is a real challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. Until now, there is no consensus on who ought to disclose and how to disclose. This paper describes the model for HIV status disclosure in which HIV-positive children/adolescents are informed about their diagnosis in a process conducted by young peers under healthcare worker (HCW) supervision in a hospital in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republ…
Subjective Well-Being Among HIV-Positive South Africans
Sustaining Motivation Among Community Health Workers in Aids Care in Kwazulu‐natal, South Africa
A substantial part of community‐based AIDS care in South Africa is currently undertaken by poor, female volunteer community health workers (CHWs). Retention of volunteers over time is challenging, however. In this study, 12 female AIDS care volunteers in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa, were interviewed about their motivations for becoming volunteers, perceived challenges in care work, and reasons for sustained volunteering. All women reported altrui…
Measuring Resilience and Its Association to Social Capital Among Hiv‐positive South Africans Living in a Context of Adversity
The resilience concept encompasses dispositional attributes as well as different forms of social and external support. Cognitive and structural aspects of social support systems in a given context can be described as social capital. In this study, we explored the relationship between resilience and social capital in 265 HIV‐positive South Africans living in a context of adversity. Data were collected using the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) an…
The associations between resilience, social capital and self-rated health among HIV-positive South Africans
This study examined the relationship between resilience, social capital and self-rated health among 263 HIV-positive South Africans living in poverty, using questionnaires. Self-rated good health was predicted by younger age, trust in community-based organizations and having contacts of different religions. The findings highlight the importance of community-based networks and resources for care and support for persons living with HIV/AIDS in poor…
Support groups for HIV-positive people in South Africa
Psychosocial health care for persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is inadequate. Support groups for PLWHA could offer arenas where psychosocial issues are addressed, yet more knowledge is needed about those who join and those who do not join such groups. In this study, conducted in Limpopo province, South Africa, 49 PLWHA were asked about their motivations for joining a support group, while 22 PLWHA were asked about their reasons for not joining …
The social construction of identity in HIV/Aids home-based care volunteers in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Home-based care volunteer (HBCV) identity and how it is shaped was the main focus of the study. Fifteen HBCVs were interviewed about their work and personal life stories and then interviewed reflectively using a narrative interviewing style. Specific attention was paid to contextual meta-narratives and social field narratives in understanding the women's stories. Findings indicate that social field narratives of the women's stories were dominated…
Masculinity and HIV disclosure among heterosexual South African men
Relationships and constructions of masculinity are central to understanding the process of male HIV disclosure, which is an important step towards accessing HIV-related services. Data from in-depth interviews and focus-group discussions with 23 HIV-positive, self-identified heterosexual, Black South African men were used to explore the disclosure process and how this process was negotiated in the context of constructions of masculinity. Of these …
Balancing Between Normality and Social Death
The millions of people living with HIV/AIDS are in urgent need of effective care and support interventions. Such interventions should take people's reported needs, coping strategies, and context into account. Usually, active problem-focused coping strategies have been encouraged because they are considered to be more beneficial than passive emotion-focused strategies. However, this may not be the case in the South African context. This study was …
