本研究旨在调查儿童福利系统中父母感染HIV的儿童的相对照顾者需求，邀请国家儿童福利机构支持的儿童家庭参与研究；17个家庭报告说他们受到艾滋病毒的影响，11个家庭没有将艾滋病毒视为一个问题。研究结果表明，复杂的情绪和行为问题给HIV患者带来压力，影响亲属照顾者；这些问题包括儿童的行为问题、与艾滋病毒有关的问题、青少年问题、情感困难和性虐待。受艾滋病毒影响的护理人员更关心自己的健康和多重角色。未受影响的照顾者不太可能报告严重的养育压力，而更可能报告经济压力。受艾滋病毒影响的照料者需要社会工作者、儿童福利工作者和病例管理人员的关注和干预。
This study investigated the needs of relative caregivers of children in the child welfare system whose parents had HIV Families of children supported by the state child welfare agency were invited to participate in the study; 17 families reported that HIV affected them and 11 families did not identify HIV as an issue. The findings indicate that complex emotional and behavioral issues stressed the HIV,affected kin caregivers; these issues included the children's behavioral problems, HIV-related concerns, adolescent issues, emotional difficulties, and sexual abuse. HIV-affected caregivers had more concern about their health and multiple roles. Nonaffected caregivers were less likely to report severe parenting stress and more likely to report financial stress. HIV-affected caregivers require attention and intervention by social workers, child welfare workers, and case managers.
