How a preventive work against hiv is carried out in South Africa : an observational study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Sydafrika är ett land som är svårt drabbat av hiv smitta, drygt 10 procent av landets befolkning är smittade. Största andelen av dessa lever i provinsen KwaZulu-Natal vilken även har valts att utföra studien i. För att minska den hiv epidemi som råder och som leder till en sämre samhällsutveckling är det av högsta prioritet att arbeta förebyggande mot denna spridning. Syftet med studien har därför varit att undersöka hur en livsstil kan förbättras bland skolelever samt hur eleverna kan bli mer delaktiga i det hiv förebyggande arbetet. För att uppnå studiens syfte har en deltagande observation genomförts. En organisation som arbetar förebyggande mot hiv/aids för ungdomar i åldern 13-20 år har observerats då de har bedrivit sitt arbete ute bland elever på skolor. Det datamaterial som samlades in vid dessa tillfällen analyserades och sammanställdes för att sedan skapa ett resultat. Resultatet visade att kommunikation och information är viktigt för att öka elevernas kunskaper om hiv/aids samt stärka dem i sin tro på sig själva för att kunna förändra deras livsstil.
