AB OBJECTIVES: To study psychological/social stressors and problems. To
explore behavioural risk factors. To identify and analyse coping
mechanisms. To identify pre and post test counselling issues and
strategies. METHODOLOGY: Detailed case work records of senior social
work students placed in HIV/AIDS counselling centres from 1991-93, were
analysed. Cases were selected from various departments of a Grant
Medical College and Hospital of Bombay city, India, based on hospital
referral system. RESULTS: Majority of cases undergo major psychological,
social reaction/burdens. In majority of the cases, multiple heterosexual
contacts are predominant. Cases shown marked improvement with supportive
counselling, family therapy, at times psychiatric intervention.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: As psychosocial burden of HIV infected
patients and their families are enormous, case workers need indepth
exploration of each case before formulating the person-specific
intervention. Apart from general medical care, the psychiatric social
work methods found useful.
