Product Description
Book Description
The book was written for all those whose lives are irrevocably touched by HIV/AIDS- either by being HIV-infected themselves, or by being affected through the illness of others. It provides counsellors, therapists, nurses, home-based caregivers, doctors, social workers, teachers, spiritual workers and volunteers with the knowledge and skills necessary for counselling people about every aspect of life and practice related to HIV/AIDS. Issues addressed encompass-
Tthe fundamental facts about HIV/AIDS (including a discussion of tuberculosis and STDs)
Principles and strategies for behaviour change.
HIV/AIDS education and lifeskills training for schoolchildren.
Pre- and post-HIV test counselling.
Skills for counselling people with HIV as well as their significant others.
Spiritual and bereavement counselling.
Nursing care principles.
Legal and ethical aspects of HIV/AIDS.
This book pays special attention to women and children's issues, cross-cultural counselling, traditional African beliefs and customs, community home-based care, orphan care, and care for the caregiver. Practical advice is offered on how to care for people with AIDS in health care settings with limited resources, facilities and finances, such as those we find in many rural clinics and homes in Africa.
