Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devastation caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is having a major impact on both the social and economic environment in South Africa. HIV/AIDS hits at the core of the businesses structure - the bottom line. In the absence of a cure for the disease or an effective vaccine, the challenge for all the stakeholders is how to sucessfully contain and limit the impact of the disease. Intervention programmes such as awareness, knowledge sharing and sero-prevailance testing have the potential to limit HIV/AIDS infections and reduce high-risk behaviours. The aim of the study was to establish what the perceptions and attitudes are of employees at different levels of the organization with regard to HIV/AIDS testing. A further aim was to identify possible reasons for the poor employee response to voluntary HIV/AIDS testing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome have had a substantial impact on thousands of Canadians. The increase of HIV disease in vulnerable populations means that there is an expanding role for social workers to meet the needs of these individuals and to prevent the spread of further infection. The literature on HIV/AIDS reveals that it is a disease surrounded by stigmatization, and discrimination on social, political, personal and professional levels. Although much has been discovered and learned about this disease, deficits in knowledge, nd preparation to work with these clients exist. This exploratory study investigated the attitudes, knowledge and comfort of 134 students enrolled at various stages of the Bachelor of Social Work and Premasters programs at the Faculty of Social Work, University of Manitoba. The role of social work values in professionally preparing these students with appropriate attitudes toward the disease was also investigated. Several additional variables related to experience with the disease, interest in working with the disease, and demographic variables were also incorporated into this study. The results of this study demonstrated that overall, respondents held appropriate attitudes toward the disease, however, deficits in knowledge regarding the populations who have been most impacted by the disease, as well as resources for individuals with HIV/AIDS, were revealed. Respondents' attitudes were found to be significantly related to their ability to apply values to practice situations, their knowledge of the disease, and their attitudes toward being in contact with those with the disease. It was hoped that this study would increase understanding of how to best prepare students for their professional roles in dealing with a multi-faceted problem such as HIV/AIDS. Implications for future coursework and educational preparation for students to work effectively in their roles as social workers with HIV/AIDS are dis.

This book was released on 2016-09-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimates indicate that as many as 1 in 4 Americans will experience a mental health problem or will misuse alcohol or drugs in their lifetimes. These disorders are among the most highly stigmatized health conditions in the United States, and they remain barriers to full participation in society in areas as basic as education, housing, and employment. Improving the lives of people with mental health and substance abuse disorders has been a priority in the United States for more than 50 years. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 is considered a major turning point in America's efforts to improve behavioral healthcare. It ushered in an era of optimism and hope and laid the groundwork for the consumer movement and new models of recovery. The consumer movement gave voice to people with mental and substance use disorders and brought their perspectives and experience into national discussions about mental health. However over the same 50-year period, positive change in American public attitudes and beliefs about mental and substance use disorders has lagged behind these advances. Stigma is a complex social phenomenon based on a relationship between an attribute and a stereotype that assigns undesirable labels, qualities, and behaviors to a person with that attribute. Labeled individuals are then socially devalued, which leads to inequality and discrimination. This report contributes to national efforts to understand and change attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that can lead to stigma and discrimination. Changing stigma in a lasting way will require coordinated efforts, which are based on the best possible evidence, supported at the national level with multiyear funding, and planned and implemented by an effective coalition of representative stakeholders. Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders: The Evidence for Stigma Change explores stigma and discrimination faced by individuals with mental or substance use disorders and recommends effective strategies for reducing stigma and encouraging people to seek treatment and other supportive services. It offers a set of conclusions and recommendations about successful stigma change strategies and the research needed to inform and evaluate these efforts in the United States.
