The study was undertaken at a village called Ramotswa in Botswana. Botswana is a small country in Southern Africa with a population of 1.7 million people (Botswana Housing and Population Census, 2001). The study explores HIV/AIDS clients' and caregivers' perceptions of the Community Home-Based Care support programme. The people involved in the community home-based care programme included nurses, family welfare educators (FWEs), social workers, community volunteers, and drivers. An exploratory qualitative design was used. Collection of data was through in-depth interviews, as well as a focus-group discussion. The sample was obtained through purposeful sampling, and there were nine HIV/AIDS clients, and seven caregivers who participated in the study. Results of the study were analysed themeativally. Resulst showed that many caregivers are women, and that they perform the task of care-giving under very difficult situations of poverty, social isolation, fear and stigma. They needed financial, material spiritual, as well as professional support from the home-based care team and community members. 2014-11-07T13:49:27Z 2014-11-07T13:49:27Z 2006 Master Thesis Masters MPH http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9338 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
