The aim of the study was to explore and describe the experiences of health care providers regarding managing children hospitalised with HIV and AIDS in a public hospital in Gauteng province. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual design was used to conduct the study. The population consisted of all health care providers who provided care to children diagnosed with HIV and AIDS in a public hospital in Gauteng. The participants included nurses, doctors, physiotherapist, social workers, clinical psychologist and dieticians. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants who provided care to children diagnosed with HIV and AIDS for at least a year. Three focus group interviews were used to collect data. Data was analysed using Tesch's method. An independent co-coder was also used. Two themes was developed from the study which was: factors affecting disclosure of positive HIV status in children and outcomes of non-disclosure of HIV status. It was recommended that further research be conducted with other public hospitals of different levels on the same topic. It was also suggested that further research be done to develop guidelines that can be implemented in the pediatric sector by health care professionals for the disclosure of HIV status to infected children. The hospital where the study was done is hoped to take it as a matter of concern and put the suggested recommendations into place. em2026 Nursing Science MCur Unrestricted SDG-03: Good health and well-being 2017-08-15T12:35:29Z 2017-08-15T12:35:29Z 2017-04-07 2017 Dissertation Ndacayisaba, MT 2017, Experiences of Healthcare providers regarding managing children diagnosed with HIV and AIDS in Public Hospital in Gauteng, MCur Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/61665> A2017 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/61665 en © 2017 University of Pretoria.
