Discourses in accounts of rape by sex offenders in Limpopo province, South Africa
South Africa is known for having the highest number of sexual violence cases in the world. In response to these reports, the government has declared rape as a priority crime, and various measures have been put in place to address this scourge. Despite these measures, rape statistics have continued to escalate. It is against this background that this study sought to explore accounts of sexual offences, particularly reports of rape, from a sample o…
Losing One’s Culture
This chapter reports on part of the findings of a doctoral research focused on identity construction of Catholic religious sisters in the Church and in the wider Nigerian society. Primarily, the chapter interrogates how Catholic religious sisters negotiate their culture identity within the context of living religious life. Data were collected from 18 sister participants, who were purposefully recruited from two religious congregations across the …
Why Don’t You Go Into Suburbs? Why Are You Targeting Us?”
Trust is a key element of high-quality stakeholder relations, which are themselves essential for the success of HIV vaccine trials. Where trust is absent, community stakeholders might not volunteer to become involved in key trial activities, and potential participants might not volunteer for enrollment. We explored site staff and Community Advisory Board (CAB) members' experiences of trust/mistrust among community members and potential participan…
Commentary on “A Framework for Community and Stakeholder Engagement
Community and stakeholder engagement (CSE) is increasingly acknowledged as foundational to global health research. This commentary builds on the multisite framework for CSE described in an eco-health study conducted in Southern Africa. We acknowledge the context-specific nature of some of the challenges for CSE and draw attention to significant issues and concerns that arose from our studies of CSE in the context of multisite HIV prevention trial…
Women’s Ideals for Masculinity Across Social Contexts
Hegemonic masculinity
The concept of hegemonic masculinity has been used in gender studies since the early-1980s to explain men's power over women. Stressing the legitimating power of consent (rather than crude physical or political power to ensure submission), it has been used to explain men's health behaviours and the use of violence. Gender activists and others seeking to change men's relations with women have mobilised the concept of hegemonic masculinity in inter…
I’m Positive, But I’m Negative
HIV vaccine trials (HVTs) are ethically complex, and sound informed consent processes should facilitate optimal decision-making for participants. This study aimed to explore representations of critical HVT-related concepts to enhance the consent process. Four focus group discussions were conducted with participants from key constituencies at a South African HVT site. Thematic analysis was employed to identify representations of key HVT-related co…
Catholic Religious Sisters' Identity Dilemmas as Committed and Subjugated Workers
Catholic religious sisters in their construction of identity position themselves as happy and committed workers for God. In addition, their narratives revealed that they are positioned by authority figures of religious life as subjugated workers, who are required to sacrifice professional skills, self-care and even their very commitment as religious to become subservient workers. Based on a doctoral thesis which sampled 18 participants from two r…
The Subjective Experience of Using Ignatian Meditation by Male and Female South African University Students
Hegemonic Masculinity
The study of men and masculinity has become a strong feature of gendered research and scholarship in South Africa in the last twenty years. Gender policy frequently includes consideration of men and masculinity, marking a significant shift from the days when 'gender' was synonymous with women. The gendered focus on men owes its origins to feminist theory and thus centres on the subordination of women. The concept of hegemonic masculinity is part …
‘It Looks Like You Just Want Them When Things Get Rough’
Civil society organizations ( CSO s) have significantly impacted on the politics of health research and the field of bioethics. In the global HIV epidemic, CSO s have served a pivotal stakeholder role. The dire need for development of new prevention technologies has raised critical challenges for the ethical engagement of community stakeholders in HIV research. This study explored the perspectives of CSO representatives involved in HIV prevention…
Civil society perspectives on negative biomedical HIV prevention trial results and implications for future trials
Community engagement is crucial to ongoing development and testing of sorely needed new biomedical HIV prevention technologies. Yet, negative trial results raise significant challenges for community engagement in HIV prevention trials, including the early termination of the Cellulose Sulfate microbicide trial and two Phase IIb HIV vaccine trials (STEP and Phambili). The present study aimed to explore the perspectives and experiences of civil soci…
Hegemonic Masculinity/Masculinities in South Africa
The concept of hegemonic masculinity has had a profound impact on gender activism and has been taken up particularly in health interventions. The concept was part of a conceptual gendered vocabulary about men which opened up analytical space for research on masculinity and prompted a generation of gender interventions with men. Academic work focused primarily on relations between men, to the neglect of relations with women, while paradoxically ac…
Advice-giving difficulties in voluntary counselling and testing
Advice-giving in voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) is demanding as it involves the discussion of difficult topics such as the morality of sexual risk and behaviour. We conducted a detailed exploration of how the giving and receiving of advice is managed in VCT, and how this is achieved against the backdrop of the competing public health and counselling imperatives that shape VCT practice. Informed by social constructionism and adopting a di…
Stakeholder Perspectives on Ethical Challenges in Hiv Vaccine Trials in South Africa
There is little published literature on the ethical concerns of stakeholders in HIV vaccine trials. This study explored the ethical challenges identified by various stakeholders, through an open‐ended, in‐depth approach. While the few previous studies have been largely quantitative, respondents in this study had the opportunity to spontaneously identify the issues that they perceived to be of priority concern in the South African context. Stakeho…
Building a Wail around Themselves’
This study examined the male identity ‘positions’ of South African adolescent boys in relation to the unconscious, dialogical, and discursive construction of masculinities. Multi-method approaches were used within a qualitative methodology to generate triangulated data consisting of 371 photographs, individual interviews, and focus group discussions. The participants were 29 boys aged 15 to 17, drawn from a rural and an urban school in KwaZulu-Na…
Potential Behavioural and Psychological Contributions to Ethical HIV Vaccine Trials in South Africa
The development of an HIV vaccine is one of the best hopes for the future of the HIV pandemic. HIV vaccine trials involve multiple disciplines and professions, including psychologists and other behavioural scientists. One of the most important aspects of HIV vaccine trials, like all clinical trials, is their ethical conduct. This article argues that many of the ethical issues in HIV vaccine trials have strong behavioural (including psychological)…

Attributional Style and Illness Behaviour in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
An increasing number of cases of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are being seen in medical practices. However, many controversies still surround the diagnosis, treatment and aetiology of the condition. CFS appears to share features of both depressive disorders and chronic physical illnesses. This study compared a group of CFS patients with depressives and chronically physically ill patients on measures of depression, illness behaviour and attribut…
The Aids Crisis
AIDS represents a major challenge to the health care industry. The behavioural sciences, especially psychology, have important contributions to make to various aspects of AIDS and its prevention. This article reviews the stages in the development of AIDS, examining the psychological issues and implications at each stage. Special attention is given to the unique South African situation with respect to AIDS. The article concludes by examining the p…
A Systems View of Chronic Illness and its Management
General systems theory is proposed as a framework for understanding chronic illness, and for intervention in chronic illness. It is suggested that chronic illness needs to be understood as a particular type of unhealth system. Various components of the unhealth system are described including disease, illness, sickness and illness behaviour, and applied to an understanding of chronic illness. The personal and temporal or developmental aspects of c…
