This article reports on the findings of the qualitative stage of a larger project on the mental care needs of people with HIV/AIDS and mental illness (Tender T1176 Department of Human Services, Mental Health Branch, Victoria - Research on the Mental Health Care Needs of People with HIV/AIDS and Mental Illness). The purpose of the larger research was to evaluate the needs and treatment requirements of persons with HIV/AIDS, who also suffer from mental health problems, with a view to developing proposals for improving existing service delivery in Victoria, Australia. The qualitative stage was designed to complement and elucidate data obtained through the quantitative stages of the project. Thirty in-depth open-ended interviews were carried out with service providers including HIV physicians, general practitioners, psychiatrists, clinical and managerial staff of Area Mental Health Services, Contact Tracers and forensic mental health services staff, as well as representatives of community groups such as People Living with HIV/AIDS and Positive Women and carers. The interviews explored the perspective of both service providers and users of such services with respect to needs for psychiatric care and service delivery, ease of access or barriers to mental health services, and the perceived strengths and weaknesses in current service provision. This paper presents the main findings and recommendations submitted to the funding body.

Teaching Modules

Underserved individuals need comprehensive health care. Educational resources that meet health care needs can promote wellness. This descriptive study evaluated effects of preferred teaching modules on perceived health of underserved clients of a nurse-managed center. Participants (N = 101) were between 19 and 61 (M = 38.7); the majority was female (68.3%) with a high-school education (M = 12.17). Most participants (65%) identified health education as very important; 92% used at least one teaching module. Age, gender, and education were not related to importance of health education. Use of various teaching modules was positively correlated with perceived improved health (p < .05). Participants who used a combination of videos and pamphlets reported the greatest improvement (p < .000).
