Abstract :
This study examines the role of support
provided by healthcare staff in the resilience process of
adults living with HIV/AIDS in the face of the adversity
of social stigmatization in the city of Yaoundé. Health
professionals must work to build resilience by
highlighting and developing the potential of people living
with HIV/AIDS. Emphasis must therefore be placed on a
series of individual characteristics known to be
protective factors and facilitators of resilience: positive
self-esteem and self-image, the ability to arouse
sympathy, a feeling of control over one's life, creativity,
humour, etc. Hospital staff must strive to identify and
assess their patients' resilience through a number of
structuring dimensions: personal dimensions, family
dimensions and extra-family (social and community)
dimensions.
Keywords :
HIV/AIDS, Adults, Stigma, Resilience, Healthcare Staff and Support.
