HIV-related stress at school and at home in Zambia.


 There are an estimated 140,000 orphans in Zambia, with 600,000 likely by the year 2000. 19 randomly sampled schoolteachers from Lusaka were interviewed to learn how the HIV epidemic affects their professional and personal lives. HIV has a wide-ranging impact upon teachers in the classroom. Each teacher had students who had lost both parents to AIDS, many teachers had several orphans in their class, and student absenteeism to care for sick adults and younger siblings at home interferes with the ongoing in-school learning process. Some students have even become ill and died from what has often thought to be AIDS-related causes. Outside of the classroom, many teachers were troubled by the loss of relatives, friends, and colleagues due to AIDS, and concerned that they and/or their children may become infected or are already infected with HIV. Schoolteachers need to be given support, trained to manage the emotional consequences of HIV, and provided with educational materials to help them cope with HIV-related stress.
