| dc.description.abstract | The study focused on the relationship between women caregiver‘s and the psychological wellbeing of people living with AIDS (PLWAS). A sample of 88 pairs of women caregivers and their PLWAs participated. Women caregivers filled a set of questionnaire on the burden and the second questionnaire measured the psychological wellbeing of PLWAs. Analysis included Pearson‘s correlation. Results indicated a significant negative relationship between caregiver‘s burden and psychological wellbeing (r= - .825; p=.000) Thus the hypothesis was retained. The study was conducted in Bushenyi District in Nyamiko, Ruyonza and Katungu villages. These areas where chosen because according to the Ministry of Health HIV/AIDS surveillance report ( 2001), NyamikoRuyonza and Katungu villages registered the highest prevalence cases of HIV/AIDS in Bushenyi District | en_US |
