dc.description.abstract | Previous research has attested to the power of metaphor-rich stories to enable resilience
during individual therapy, but this has not been researched in a group context. We
aimed to ascertain if the reading of brief stories in a group setting, with no other therapeutic
intervention, would prove to be a valuable, inexpensive and accessible protective
resource for the empowerment of AIDS orphans. We followed a quasi-experimental
design, incorporating pre and post-test double control groups and a mixed methods
approach to data collection. However, some very interesting methodological, ethical
and practical challenges surfaced during implementation concerning: the meeting of
community expectations; the identification of appropriate participant groups; the administration
and suitability of research instruments; ensuring continued attendance of
participants; and dealing with the emotional needs of participants without endangering
the validity of the results. This article reports on these challenges and makes suggestions
around issues that need to be resolved if future research partnerships with community
members who care for AIDS orphans are to yield useful and valid research results | en_US |
