    Open AccessSally John, Mokgadi Moletsane et al.ARTICLEStudies on Ethno-Medicine2016

    The purpose of the study was to investigate how and whether Masekitlana, a traditional Sotho form of narrative play, would be appropriate in the therapy of Zulu-speaking children affected by HIV/AIDS in South Africa.

The study explores 1) knowledge and attitudes about HIV, 2) so…

  • Psychosocial challenges and protective influences for socio-emotional coping of HIV+ adolescents in South Africa

    Inge Petersen, Arvin Bhana et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    INTRODUCTION: While the roll-out of antiretroviral therapy in South Africa should lead to a reduction in mother to child transmission, mortality and orphaning, it will also be accompanied by a large number of children entering adolescence and adulthood with a chronic infectious disease. Adolescence is a particularly vulnerable period for HIV-infected people in relation to mental health problems and engagement in high-risk behaviours, including no…
