(10) [30] Question 02 A group of elderly people from Kwamhlaba Uyalingana in the KZN refused to undergo the COVID-19 vaccination due to various misconceptions. While some believed that the vaccine is a mechanism to eliminate the human race, others associated vaccine with the biblical verse on the book of revelations and believed that it was signifying the end of the world and was therefore an evil mark of triple seven.

Dineo have been requested by the university to conduct educational group in that area to help them understand the nature of COVID-19, its impact and the significance of taking vaccine. During one of the group sessions, Dineo had this to say, “Indeed it has been a great opportunity for me to interact with you. Knowing you was one of the crucial experiences ever and I am now looking forward to a more exciting relationship. As indicate in my opening remark that we will take 45 minutes sharing our experiences, we have now reached the end.

While some believed that the vaccine is a mechanism to eliminate the human race, others associated vaccine with the biblical verse on the book of revelations and believed that it was signifying the end of the world and was therefore an evil mark of triple seven. Adherence to HIV treatment is one of the major global concerns. South Africa is not spared from this global challenge, with recent reports indicating that children and adolescents living with HIV in the country are often presented in healthcare facilities with chronic conditions resulting from failure to adhere to treatment. This is despite the country having been applauded a few years ago, as one of those that rolled out an effective HIV programme amongst its international peers. Among the issues that contribute to this challenge is that these children and adolescents do not know their HIV statuses because their parents and caregivers have not disclosed to them due to fear of their potential reaction as well as the general fear of stigma associated with HIV. Being a social worker employed at a local clinic, you are tasked with a responsibility of rendering support to parents and caregivers of these children and adolescents so that they can be properly prepared to disclose to these children. Amid these false beliefs, the area has a very high number of infection rates and these elderlies are prone to infection. Dineo have been requested by the university to conduct educational group in that area to help them understand the nature of COVID-19, its impact and the significance of taking vaccine.

INTRODUCTION

This portfolio focuses on the critical issue of adherence to HIV treatment among
children and adolescents in South Africa. Despite the country’s progress in rolling out
an effective HIV programme, many young patients continue to face challenges due
to delayed disclosure of their HIV status by parents and caregivers. Stigma, fear, and
lack of psychosocial support contribute to poor adherence, leading to chronic
conditions and reduced treatment outcomes.

The case study provided forms the basis of this portfolio, which aims to apply social
work group methods to support parents and caregivers in preparing for disclosure
and strengthening adherence among children and adolescents. The tasks include
short-answer questions on recruitment, group type, composition, and inclusion
criteria, followed by the development of a comprehensive group work proposal. This
portfolio demonstrates both theoretical knowledge and practical application,
highlighting the role of group work in addressing pressing community health
challenges.




QUESTION 1

1.1.

Describe the recruitment method that you would use to recruit members.

I would use direct contact through interviews and telephone calls with parents and
caregivers who already attend the clinic for their children’s HIV treatment. This
method is suitable because it allows for private, sensitive, and respectful
engagement, which is crucial given the stigma surrounding HIV. In addition, I would
collaborate with community leaders and clinic staff to spread information discreetly
about the group. This recruitment approach ensures that only relevant, willing
participants are reached while maintaining confidentiality and trust.
