Abstract
Social Work Role in Differentiated Service Delivery for People with HIV/AIDS and Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis
THEME 1: Promoting stakeholder partnerships that protect, support and enhance resilience during adverse events and trauma
SUB 1.1The role of psychosocial services during adverse events and resultant trauma from a Human rights perspective
Oral Presentation
For people living with HIV/AIDS, Differentiated Service Delivery (DSD) has focused on enhancing resilience, self-efficacy, and engagement. For people co-infected with HIV/AIDS and multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), there are severe challenges associated with treatment, including stigma, social and structural barriers. We used empirical adherence data and qualitative research based in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, to identify longitudinal barriers to medication adherence to inform an MDR-TB/HIV DSD-model incorporating social work interventions that address psychosocial/structural barriers to care engagement. Based on these data, DSD for people with MDR-TB/HIV should 1) intensify support for severely adherence-challenged subpopulations, while adherent patients may require less intensive support, 2) address decreased adherence over time and 3) account for psychosocial, behavioral, and structural challenges linked to discrete treatment stages. Social work role in DSD to address the psychosocial dimensions of health can improve outcomes for individuals with MDR-TB/HIV and the health and well-being of their families and communities.
