The objectives of this study are to explore stressors and challenges faced by child care workers working with HIV infected/affected children, their causes, what support is available to them and, finally, current and recommended coping strategies. The study explored the perceptions of 8 child care workers through 2 focus groups using a semi-structured interview schedule as the data collection tool. The findings reveal that the primary challenge experienced is working with traumatised children and working for long hours away from their children, who are often at home alone. It was also found that they not fear infection when working with HIV infected children. The primary recommendation was that child care workers receive regular counselling and that day care centres are established in low income areas to care for their own children. 2015-01-03T18:11:17Z 2015-01-03T18:11:17Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MSocSci http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11167 eng application/pdf Department of Social Development Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
