- Description
- The article examines the association between burnout and stigma among Health Care Workers (HCWs) and highlights the need for counselling services in the care of the HCWs. Stereotypes of HIV/AIDS and burnout in HCWs caring for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) were assessed using self-report methods. Stereotypes about AIDS Scale (SAAS) and Maslach Burnout Inventory MBI were completed by 120 staff from 8 community care centres for PLHIV across south India. Results of SAAS showed that about 33 percent respondents manifested high level of stigma while 35 percent exhibited moderate levels. The results of MBI showed high level of burnout in about 31 percent and moderate in 35 percent respondents.
