“…This observation supported the submission of Engle (2012) who stated that only few psychosocial interventions have been evaluated. This was also confirmed by the recent Cochrane review that found no rigorous studies of intervention for improving the psychosocial well-being of children affected by HIV/AIDS (Engle, 2012; King, De Silva, Stein, & Patel, 2009). Given that this gap is found among children who are made vulnerable by HIV, who have been the focus of most responses, then not much is expected of other children who are made vulnerable by other means.…”

Responding to the psychosocial health needs of the vulnerable population has been considered as a significant public health issue that must be addressed through access to public health professionals. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the impact of a training program on nurses and teachers' knowledge of psychosocial health needs of vulnerable children and the impact this had on children's resilience and psychosocial health outcomes (self-esteem, social connection, anxiety, and depression). The result showed a significant increase in the knowledge mean scores of both nurses and teachers 6 weeks post intervention. Children's depression scores significantly reduced post intervention. Their resilience, self-esteem, and social connection were also significantly improved, while no significant reduction was found in their anxiety scores. The results of the pilot study suggest that a more rigorous study be conducted to further ascertain the effectiveness of the various interventions used in this study while taking into consideration the challenges raised by the authors.

“…Esses achados corroboram dados anteriores, baseados em outras revisões sistemáticas da literatura, acerca da escassez de informações sobre a efetividade dessas intervenções para crianças que vivem ou convivem com HIV/Aids, que sejam embasadas em avaliações sistemáticas e com rigor metodológico (King, De Silva, Stein, & Patel, 2009). Assim, na presente revisão, embora todos os estudos indicassem consequências positivas das intervenções para as crianças e suas famílias, não se tem clareza quanto à validade das avaliações realizadas.…”

ResumoCom o avanço no tratamento antirretroviral, a infecção pelo HIV/Aids em crianças passou de um quadro agudo para uma doença crônica, tendo implicações médicas, psicológicas e sociais. Aspectos da convivência com o HIV/Aids, como revelação do diagnóstico, adesão ao tratamento e enfrentamento de diversos lutos, são especialmente desafiadores entre as crianças. Assim, este estudo buscou identificar, na literatura, intervenções psicológicas desenvolvidas nos últimos anos para crianças que vivem ou convivem com o HIV/Aids. Foram revisadas as bases de dados Medline, PsycInfo, Indexpsi, PEPSIC, SciELO e LILACS, encontrando-se 17 estudos sobre o tema. Foram descritos objetivos, público-alvo, país de origem, contextualização teórica, técnicas utilizadas e resultados dessas intervenções. A revisão apontou que são raros estudos descrevendo intervenções psicológicas para essas crianças. Além disso, muitos dos estudos encontrados não apresentaram uma clara descrição do método utilizado e avaliação de seus resultados, o que prejudica a utilização dessas intervenções em outros contextos. Palavras-chave: HIV, AIDS, Crianças, Intervenções psicológicas. Psychological interventions to children infected and affected by HIV/AidsAbstract Due to the recent progress with antiretroviral treatment, HIV/Aids infection has changed from an acute clinical status to a chronic illness with medical, psychological and social implications. Typical aspects of living with HIV/Aids, such as diagnostic disclosure, treatment adherence and the coping with several mournings, are particularly challenging among children. Therefore, this study aimed to identify psychological interventions that have been developed in the past years with children infected or affected by HIV/Aids. Medline/Pubmed, PsycInfo, Indexpsi, PEPSIC, SciELO and LILACS databases were reviewed, where 17 studies about the related subject were found. Objectives, target population, theoretical conceptualization, used techniques and results of these interventions have been described. The review indicates that studies describing psychological interventions for these children are rare. Moreover, many of these studies did not present a clear description of the methods used and the evaluation of the results, limiting the use of these interventions in other contexts.

“…Therefore, interventions for ALWH are a pressing need. However, the prevalence and implementation of psychosocial interventions are limited, both in practice and in literature (King et al, 2009). HIV interventions are valenced in the biomedical approach, predominantly on the management of symptoms, drug adherence and progression of the condition (Osterberg & Blaschke, 2005; Stan & Zaia, 2014).…”

We present the Snehagram model, an applied psychosocial intervention for adolescents living with HIV/AIDS (ALWH), delivered through service learning (SL). The model is a synthesised blueprint of the ongoing intervention adopting a multi-component structure, addressing the overall development of ALWH through the integration of educational support, psychological interventions and research. Intervention outcomes include psychosocial skills, mental health and holistic education using research- and evidence-based practice to support ALWH with skills needed for re-integration and functioning in society post intra-community residence. The SL delivery framework parallelly benefits student trainees and the community, resulting in active participation via experiential learning and professional development. This unique approach to resource utilisation also makes it a viable and sustainable model in developing countries where resources are limited.
