其他以隐蔽方式工作的人是疾病的原因;(2)津巴布韦人和其他发展中社会的人同时通过科学解释他们的疾病(例如,艾滋病毒是性传播的)和文化(巫术和阴谋论);和(3)预防和治疗方案,不解决人们的文化为基础的信念对疾病将是无效的。这项工作的一个主要贡献是关于在解释艾滋病毒时纳入文化和科学信仰的结论。这是一个信息,卫生保健工作者进行预防和治疗必须始终说明是有效的。这本书应该由那些在发展中地区制定艾滋病毒/艾滋病教育和治疗计划的人阅读。它对非洲和其他发展中地区为穷人和服务不足的人服务的保健工作者特别有用。
other working in covert ways is the cause of illness; (2) Zimbabweans and people in other developing societies interpret their illness simultaneously through science (e.g., HIV is sexually transmitted) and culture (sorcery and conspiracy theories); and (3) prevention and treatment programs that do not address people’s culturally-based beliefs about illness will not be effective. A major contribution of this work is the conclusion regarding the integration of cultural and scientific beliefs in the interpretation of HIV. This is a message that health care workers conducting prevention and treatment must always account for to be effective. This book should be read by those developing HIV/AIDS education and treatment programs in developing areas. It should be particularly useful for health care workers serving the poor and underserved in Africa and other developing areas.
