| dc.description.abstract | AIDS statistics indicated that approximately 5, 7 million people in South Africa were infected with the HIV virus in 2010. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of antiretroviral (ARV) training for registered nurses in the Thabo Mofutsanyana District in the Free State. Quantitative data was collected by means of a reactionnaire and questionnaire completed by respondents who underwent ARV therapy training. By obtaining general feedback and determining the knowledge and attitudes of respondents about HIV/AIDS and ARV treatment, the researcher wished to
determine the effectiveness of training. A systematic literature review was conducted on ARV therapy and comprehensive management and care of HIV/AIDS patients. Data collected was analysed and interpreted. General feedback was positive, and results
indicated knowledge acquisition and possible knowledge deficiencies among
respondents who displayed positive attitudes about caring for HIV/AIDS patients. The study concluded that the course was beneficial to registered nurses. | en_US |
