摘要
BackgroundThe human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is an epidemic that continues to increase the burden of care among caregivers of HIV/AIDS orphans. Research has confirmed that HIV/AIDS orphans' caregivers perform their duties in an unconducive environment. Consequently, this negatively impacts their health leading to inability to discharge caregiving duties effectively. After carefully considering the caregivers' predicament, the researchers found it imperative to develop a conceptual framework for the North West Province as this province lacks a conceptual framework that addresses the health and well-being of caregivers for orphaned children.MethodsAn exploratory, descriptive and contextual design was used in the study. The population for this study were HIV/AIDS orphans' caregivers and ward-based professional nurses who also served as outreach team leaders. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to select participants for this study. Data was collected using individual semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and field notes. Six steps of thematic analysis were adopted to analyze collected data. The practice-orientated theory by Dickoff, James, and Wiedenbach guided the development of the conceptual framework. These six steps include the agent, recipient, context, procedure, dynamics, and terminus.ResultsThe study findings include home visits, health education, support during disclosure, routine monitoring of blood and growth, mobilization of support systems and resources, and utilization of government services.ConclusionThe conceptual framework seeks to improve the health and well-being of HIV/AIDS orphans caregivers so that they may provide high-quality care to the orphans. The framework guides outreach team leaders and nurses registered in primary health care institutions on the procedure to follow to improve and preserve the health of caregivers of children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
