• W2029682736 abstract "This study of traditional healers and formal health workers determined their knowledge and practices in the field of HIV/AIDS and examined their training needs and attitudes to collaboration, in preparation for planning joint training workshops. Several misconceptions concerning symptoms and transmission of HIV disease were found in both groups, particularly among traditional healers. Twenty healers (51%) and four formal health workers (15%) claimed a cure existed for AIDS. The majority of traditional healers interviewed expressed difficulties discussing a diagnosis of HIV directly with patients, mainly due to fear of the patient becoming depressed and suicidal. Most interviewees wanted more training--the majority of traditional healers in recognizing symptoms of HIV/AIDS and their treatment, and the majority of formal health workers in HIV counselling. Most were interested in supplying condoms. Almost all healers and half of the formal health workers were keen to collaborate in training and patient care. The study indicates that there is willingness amongst Zambian traditional healers and formal health workers to collaborate in training and patient care in the field of HIV/AIDS. As well as covering symptoms, transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS, training should aim to increase ability to openly discuss HIV with patients, which many traditional healers and some formal health workers find difficult. Involving traditional healers in supplying condoms may improve acceptability and availability, particularly in rural areas.A knowledge questionnaire and a semistructured interview was conducted with 39 traditional leaders (22 males and 17 females) and 27 formal health workers (4 men and 23 women) to determine their knowledge and practices in the field of HIV/AIDS; additionally, their training needs and attitudes to collaboration, in preparation for planning joint training workshops, were examined. Areas explored included symptoms and transmission of HIV/AIDS, treatment, personal risk, condom use and distribution, traditional practices, education and prevention, HIV counseling and testing and collaboration between healers and health workers. Results showed that misconceptions and gaps concerning transmission and symptoms existed in both groups, particularly among the traditional healers. 20 traditional healers (51%) and 4 formal health workers (15%) claimed that a cure for AIDS existed. Most health workers and traditional healers found discussing a diagnosis of HIV directly with patients difficult because of fears that it might make them depressed or suicidal. However, many healers were keen to participate in condom distribution. There was more support for collaboration among traditional healers than among formal health workers; almost all formal health workers but only 8 traditional healers knew of voluntary HIV counseling. Both traditional healers and formal health workers have significant and complementary roles in the field of HIV/AIDS in Zambia, but there is much debate concerning the relationship between them." @default.
