| Abstract | Healthcare workers are at the forefront of patient care, and interventions to enhance adherence and engagement in patients with DR-TB/HIV, require a holistic approach. While these HCWs have different training and orientations, collaboration and a close working relationship between them have been proven to enhance patient care. To enhance the standard of care and patient-centered care, we trained 38 nurses and 22 social workers employed by the Department of Health and primary health clinics in KwaZulu-Natal between 2016 and 2023. Training has been positioned around the biopsychosocial aspects of these stigmatized diseases such as different treatment regimens, medications, adverse events, management of side effects, and infection control. Psychosocial issues of stigma, depression, and fear must be addressed to be meet the needs of patients, their families, and the wider community. Both these professionals can work in partnership to complement each others’ strengths such as medication knowledge and understanding of the patient’s social environment. |
