Perinatal HIV infected children from the age of 12 to 18 years and their feelings towards their parents in Umvoti Sub-District.
Authors: Lindani Patrick Ntombela
The study intended to investigate the feelings of perinatal HIV acquired children towards their parents after disclosure. It is intended to find out whether this group of children has received the conducive space to express their emotions regarding their status to their parents during the disclosure process. It was discovered that different studies have been done on perinatal HIV infected children and disclosure but does not focus on the point where these children have space to express themselves towards their parents. A qualitative exploratory and descriptive research design as well as non-probability purposive sampling was used to select Primary healthcare facilities and convenience sampling was used to select participants (children). In-depth individual interviews were used to gather data until it was saturated. The Tesch’s eight steps was used to analyze data. The study findings entail resentment, emotional exhausted and neglected, loneliness, and aggression towards their parents and HIV service providers involved. The study reveals the lack of inadequate implementation of the disclosure guidelines and mental health support in primary health facilities. Inclusion, psychosocial support need to be a priority when it comes to perinatal HIV infected children and their caregivers from birth throughout their lives, to avoid the buildup of antisocial personalities and characters that are unconsciously build. HIV service providers need to formulate strategies and guidelines to ensure that psychosocial support or mental health treatment is provided to these children and their families at least once in 3 months because disclosure and acceptance of status is an ongoing process that needs all the parties involved unconditionally.
Key words: Perinatal, HIV, Children, disclosure, investigate, emotions, feelings and aggression
