Women’s Narratives about Identity, Power and Agency within a Mining Organisation in South Africa
Drawing on social constructionist and post-structuralist theoretical frameworks, this study examined the complexities that constitute women’s narratives within a mining organisation in South Africa. With specific reference to the social constructs of identity, conflict and power, the aims of this study were to investigate how women narrate their experience, the ways in which women live with the tensions of a workplace that is potentially both lib…
Patterns of disclosure and antiretroviral treatment adherence in a South African mining workplace programme and implications for HIV prevention
Social and psychological barriers to the disclosure of one's seropositive HIV status to significant others and poor adherence to taking medications pose significant challenges to the scaling-up of access to antiretroviral treatment (ART) in the workplace. Such barriers are predictive of sub-optimal treatment outcomes and bedevil HIV-prevention interventions at a societal level. Against this background, this article explores the lived experiences …
Psychosocial and behavioural correlates of attitudes towards antiretroviral therapy (ART) in a sample of South African mineworkers
Despite being one of the worst affected sectors in South Africa, the mining sector has proven to be one of the most active in intervention efforts in the fight against HIV and AIDS (Ellis, 2007). Owing to low uptake rates of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in mining companies in recent years (Connelly & Rosen, 2006) and the positive relationship between attitudes towards ART and ART uptake (Cooper et al., 2002; Horne, Cooper, Gellaitry, Leake, & Fis…
Bridging the gap between VCT and HIV/Aids treatment uptake
This qualitative study sought to understand users' perceptions of the voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) and HIV-treatment services offered by a mining company in South Africa, with the intention of making recommendations to improve the rates of uptake. A purposive sample of 75 employees was interviewed and three focus groups were conducted with VCT users as well as with HIV-positive employees currently enrolled in the company's treatment pr…
Knowledge, attitudes and sexual practices of adolescents with mild retardation, in relation HIV/Aids
This study investigates the knowledge, attitudes and sexual practices of adolescents with mild mental retardation (MMR) in relation to HIV/AIDS. Questionnaires were personally administered to a saturation sample of 90 adolescents with MMR drawn from one specialised educational institution in Durban, South Africa. The study revealed critical gaps and erroneous beliefs regarding knowledge of HIV/AIDS, especially with regard to its existence, transm…
The development and evaluation of a manualised participatory HIV/Aids risk reduction programme (Sex and Risk) for tertiary level learners
This paper reports on a pilot study of the development and evaluation (using outcome and process measures) of a manualised participatory risk reduction programme, aimed at reducing high-risk sexual behaviour amongst tertiary level learners, called 'Sex and Risk' (S&R), at the University of Durban-Westville 1 in South Africa. The programme was grounded in a focused ethnographic study of the risk behaviours and life context of tertiary level learne…
Attitudes towards leisure and the desegregation of recreational facilities
Analysing the results of 1 745 interviews it is argued that recreation and leisure behaviour are inextricably linked to political, economic and social relations in South African society. It is also argued (using a database) that many people do not understand this link although the majority agree that recreational facilities should be desegregated. Although it was hypothesized that white respondents would generally respond more negatively than bla…
