Counselling Intervention

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an integrative counselling intervention for people living with HIV and AIDS who are prone to   distress in the Eastern Cape. The counselling intervention was developed using a multidisciplinary approach, which included psychological and traditional approaches to counselling. Health care workers and people living with HIV and AIDS were recruited to participate in the development of the intervention. Thirteen health care workers and 18 people living with HIV (PLHIV) participated in the study. The health care workers evaluated the feasibility of the counselling intervention. The findings of the study showed that the counselling intervention content was designed in a manner that appealed to health care workers when providing counselling to PLHIV. The health care workers found the counselling intervention useful but challenging in alleviating distress among clients, as it incorporated counselling dimensions not relevant to the South African context. The findings of the study indicated that there is a need for alternative counselling interventions in South Africa to complement western models of interventions in alleviating distress among PLHIV in South Africa.

<p>This paper aims at describing the findings of a health education programme that enhances the knowledge and communication skills of health-care workers who serve people living with HIV / AIDS on HAART in Namibia. Namibian health-care workers are unable to provide quality health care services to people who are living with HIV / AIDS (PLWHA) when they do not have the necessary knowledge, as well as adequate interpersonal communication and counselling skills. In a health care facility system, all patients either come from the community, or are referred from the wards or other departments by health-care workers. The health care worker as a sender conveys information (messages), and a patient (receiver) is expected to comprehend these messages and to respond by giving feedback to the sender who, in turn, provides feedback until the communication process is completed. The process should take place in a conducive environment without any interference, such as noise, to allow the swift completion of the communication process. The messages that both parties convey should be clear, accurate, coherent, and concise. This article covered the following: background, methods, ethical measures, results (participants’ responses) conclusions and recommendations.</p>
