Major international projects are discussed together with measurement and evaluation issues in the area of stress, burnout and AIDS impact. Aspects of organisational and management responses to HIV/AIDS can enable researchers and health personnel to set up and evaluate their own projects. This is the first book to deal with the multitude of issues associated with HIV disease and health workers, including volunteers -- although there is a growing literature which documents the positive and negative aspects of the area. This comprehensive review, including research, evaluation and education at both personal and systems levels, will remedy the deficit. Issues covered include Asia and general care in a number of regions around the world.

It also provides policy recommendations on how to design, implement and optimize CHW programmes as part of broader health workforce and service delivery strategies that are acceptable to communities and can be sustained. Finally, it outlines key knowledge gaps that should be addressed through further research.

This briefing paper focuses on children ages birth to five years and is intended primarily for health workers in developing countries who are responsible for the management of young children with HIV and AIDS. It provides practical information on: (1) how HIV is transmitted to infants and young children; (2) how transmission can be prevented; (3) how to diagnose HIV and AIDS in young children; (4) how to care for children with HIV, including treatment of common infections; (5) how to provide support to families caring for sick children; (6) how children who are not infected may be affected by HIV; and (7) how HIV and AIDS in children affects health workers and other caregivers. Other important issues related to HIV/AIDS and children that health workers need to be aware of are also addressed, including community support, orphans, sexual abuse, and HIV testing and counseling. A list of selected printed and organizational resources on AIDS and children is included, along with a glossary of relevant terms. Appendices include a fact sheet on HIV and AIDS and an outline of a workshop and exercises that may be helpful in educating health workers about HIV/AIDS and children. (CR)

Based on major multi-centre research in the UK, Dying to Care identifies why work stress is a problem in health care generally, and in HIV health care in particular. The similarities and differences between work stress experienced in general health care settings and in HIV/AIDS are explored in a state-of-the-art review of research and experience in the field to date. The book has a practical focus, and goes on to explore ways in which the unique stresses of patient advocacy in HIV/AIDS can be addressed, identifying the best approaches for management. Highlighting the practical importance of a clear distinction between the burnout and work stress for design of strategies for burnout prevention, the emergence of the concept of burnout is described and the general historical confusion between work stress and burnout examined. This will be a key handbook for managers, physicians, nurses, social workers, health advisors and counsellors working in or alongside healthcare.

A motivated and qualified workforce is crucial to increase productivity and quality of health services. Only when these are reached will the achievement of health service targets and of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) be realistic. It is well-recognized that in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), a shortage of workers and the poor performance of the health workforce deprive the poor of access to quality health care. Particularly in areas with high HIV prevalence, care provision is likely to be compromised because of the additional impact of HIV/AIDS on health services and on the workforce. Little evidence exists on effective Human Resource Management (HRM) interventions to enhance the performance of health workers and to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on health workers in LMICs. Such information would be an important aid to policy makers and planners when formulating and implementing interventions to address access to quality services. This volume contributes to building evidence and expanding the knowledge base in the field of HRM and health worker performance in LMICs. It identifies the impact of HIV/AIDS on health workers, explores the factors influencing motivation of health workers, and examines the evidence on the effectiveness of HRM on health workers' motivation and performance. In addition, it discusses whether HRM could contribute effectively to improving health worker performance in AIDS-endemic settings.

This book explores the impacts of HIV/AIDS and neoliberal globalization on the occupational health of public sector hospital nurses in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The story of South African public sector nurses provides multiple perspectives on the HIV/AIDS epidemic-for a workforce that played a role in the struggle against apartheid, women who deal with the burden of HIV/AIDS care at work and in the community, and a constituency of the new South African democracy that is working on the frontlines of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Through case studies of three provincial hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal, set against a historical backdrop, this book tells the story of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the post-apartheid period.

Healers Abroad:Americans Responding to the Human Resource Crisis in HIV/AIDS calls for the federal government to create and fund the United States Global Health Service (GHS) to mobilize the nation�s best health care professionals and other highly skilled experts to help combat HIV/AIDS in hard-hit African, Caribbean, and Southeast Asian countries. The dearth of qualified health care workers in many lowincome nations is often the biggest roadblock to mounting effective responses to public health needs. The proposal�s goal is to build the capacity of targeted countries to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic over the long run. The GHS would be comprised of six multifaceted components. Full-time, salaried professionals would make up the organization�s pivotal �service corps,� working side-by-side with other colleagues already on the ground to provide medical care and drug therapy to affected populations while offering local counterparts training and assistance in clinical, technical, and managerial areas.

The importance of community health workers is increasingly recognized within many of today’s most high-profile global health programs, including campaigns focused on specific diseases and broader efforts to strengthen health systems and achieve universal health care. Based on ethnographic work with Ethiopian women and men who provided home-based care in Addis Ababa during the early roll-out of antiretroviral therapies, this book explores what it actually means to become a community health worker in today’s global health industry. Drawing on the author’s interviews with community health workers, as well as observations of their daily interactions with patients and supervisors, this volume considers what motivates them to improve the quality of life and death of the most marginalized people. The Lives of Community Health Workers also illuminates how their contributions at a micro level are intricately linked to policymaking and practice at higher levels in the field of global health. It shows us that many of the challenges that community health workers face in their daily lives are embedded in larger social, economic, and political contexts, and it raises a resounding call for further research into their labour and health systems they inhabit.
