  • Behavior and psychological functioning of young children of HIV-positive mothers in South Africa

    Heather Sipsma, Irma Eloff et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    Adults with HIV are living longer due to earlier diagnosis and increased access to antiretroviral medications. Therefore, fewer young children are being orphaned and instead, are being cared for by parents who know they are HIV positive, although they may be asymptomatic. Presently, it is unclear whether the psychological functioning of these young children is likely to be affected or, alternatively, whether it is only when a mother is ill, that …

  • The coping strategies used over a two-year period by HIV-positive women who had been diagnosed during pregnancy

    Marinda Kotzé, Maretha Visser et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    Structured interviews were conducted with 224 HIV-positive women diagnosed during pregnancy, at antenatal clinics in Tshwane, South Africa, in order to investigate the use of coping strategies during the first two years after diagnosis. Interviews were conducted between one and four weeks after diagnosis during pregnancy, with three follow-up interviews conducted post-partum. Coping strategies were assessed with an adapted version of the Brief CO…

  • Where are the men? Targeting male partners in preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission

    Kevin Koo, Jennifer D Makin et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2013

    Involvement of male partners may increase adherence to and improve outcomes of programs to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT). Greater understanding of factors impeding male voluntary HIV counseling and testing (VCT) is needed. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Tshwane, South Africa. Semi-structured interviews were completed with men whose partners had recently been pregnant. Of 124 men who participated, 94% believed male HIV…

  • Development of a measure of the patient–provider relationship in antenatal care and its importance in PMTCT

    Oliver M Barry, Anne-Marie Bergh et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    The prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) is a complex challenge in heavily affected and resource-limited settings such as South Africa. Management of PMTCT requires a cascade of interventions that need to be addressed to effectively decrease the risk of HIV transmission to infants. This PMTCT cascade includes incremental components that can be shaped and influenced by the patient-provider relationship. The relationship that a pr…

  • Support Group Processes

    Jonathan Mundell, Maretha Visser et al.ARTICLEQualitative Research in Psychology2012Citada por: 5Referências: 6

    This study examined the experiences and perceived benefits of support group participation among HIV-infected women in South Africa. From a qualitative analysis of responses, key psychological processes through which support groups are potentially beneficial were identified. These processes included: identification; modeling; acceptance; and empowerment. The participants' consequent life changes were explored in order to associate these processes …

  • HIV/Aids stigma in a South African community

    Maretha Visser, M J Visser et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009

    HIV/AIDS-related stigma threatens to undermine interventions to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. To address stigma in a South African community, a thorough understanding of the nature of stigma in the specific cultural context is needed. The goals of this research were to assess the level of stigmatising attitudes among members of a community, compare this to the level of stigma that is perceived to exist within the community and determine to what ext…

  • To tell or not to tell

    Maretha J Visser, Maretha Visser et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2008

    HIV-positive pregnant women often do not disclose their serostatus to their partners, family and friends, creating potential barriers to preventing sexual transmission to partners and mother-to-child transmission through breastfeeding. This research explores recently diagnosed HIV-positive pregnant women's reasons for disclosure and non-disclosure of serostatus to various members of their social networks, as well as the consequences of their disc…

  • Stigmatizing attitudes of the community towards people living with HIV/Aids

    Open AccessMaretha J Visser, Maretha Visser et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community & Applied…2006Citada por: 10Referências: 12

    This research involved an exploratory study in which a questionnaire was used to investigate the personal stigma and perceived community stigma regarding HIV/AIDS in a South African community. Student fieldworkers interviewed a convenient sample of 901 respondents from different races, gender and age groups, and found that respondents tended towards stigmatizing persons with HIV/AIDS. Yet, this degree of stigmatization was significantly less seve…
