Family caregiving for AIDS patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

We conducted a qualitative study of women who were caregivers for HIV/AIDS-affected spouses in Bumbu Zone, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo in 2003. Twelve caregiving women, six home-based care workers and five key informants were interviewed via focus group discussions. Most women reported huge problems in providing care to their spouses due to psychological, social and economic factors. The secrecy around HIV/AIDS issues and care was a significant theme in the findings. The self-reported health status of the caregivers indicated poor health.

Global health and equity: part 2: exploring solutions.

The Millennium Development Goals set an agenda for advancing global health in the 21st century. Nurses have a pivotal role to play in the pursuit of global health and equity, including achieving the goals, but their capacity to contribute has been largely untapped. In this article, the authors examine strategies to mitigate inequities in global health within an international development framework, threats to achieving equity in health and the implications of these issues for nurses and nursing.

Multiple intervention research programs in community health.

The authors describe an organizing framework for multiple interventions in community health. The framework provides a foundation for programmatic research on multiple interventions and poses critical questions that need to be addressed in the next generation of research in this field. Multiple intervention programs are characterized by the use of multiple strategies targeted at multiple levels of the socio-ecological system and delivered to multiple target audiences. Consequently, they complement the growing literature on the broad determinants of health and health promotion. The authors describe a 4-stage framework and identify gaps and challenges in this field of research. There are 5 key research areas requiring concerted action; researchers must: examine nested determinants, develop integrated conceptual frameworks, examine ways to optimize synergies among interventions, describe spin-offs from multiple intervention programs, and monitor the sustainability of their impact.
