- W2746254487 abstract "Older adults are increasingly playing the principal role in caring for younger adults sick with HIV/AIDS and for orphaned grandchildren. Recent research conducted in Thailand Zimbabwe and Uganda found that over two-thirds of elderly respondents were the main caregivers of ill adults or orphans whose parents had died of AIDS. Often older people have no alternative but to provide nursing care to their ailing adult children and to become active parents again in addition to providing for themselves. Such tasks can be particularly challenging in resource-poor settings. Despite their important role in caregiving there has been little research to better understand their unique caregiving needs given their age and economic circumstances and ways in which their needs can be addressed by HIV/AIDS programs. In response to this gap the Horizons Program and Plan International Kenya conducted an exploratory study in six villages in Bondo District Nyanza Province Kenya. Bondo District has an estimated adult HIV prevalence of 22.5 percent and is home to many children who have been orphaned by AIDS. The aim of the study was to identify the specific roles played by older people in caring for people living with HIV/AIDS and AIDS-affected children determine the challenges they face as caregivers and their coping mechanisms and identify the types of interventions needed to support elderly caregivers.
