Description
An account of the resource
The article presents a study with aim, Revealing the Impact of Loss: Exploring Mental Health Through the Use of Drawing/Writing With HIV Positive Adolescents in Johannesburg. This study examined the use of drawings completed by perinatally infected adolescents accessing public health care in Johannesburg. These drawings were facilitated by counsellors, known to the adolescents in the clinic, as a means of engaging in the experience of loss. This qualitative study used data from a larger quantitative study assessing mental health (depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicidality) using standardised scales (n= 343; 96% response rate). Adolescents between 13 and 19 years volunteered to participate in a 90 minute questionnaire administered on tablet computers, known to improve reporting of stigmatised behaviors and interspersed with drawing tasks. The research counsellors routinely provided direct services to the adolescents as counsellors, were trained in paediatric HIV and advanced counselling, and participated in the research, engaging in principles of ethical research with minors. The objective of this study was to use a drawing task with perinatally infected HIV positive adolescents who were bereaved to identify the impact of loss on their current mental health. Bereavement is pervasive in this population, often unidentified or unresolved, and there are scant ways identified to manage loss in the public health system. This study reveals that loss can be engaged with through drawing and written accounts facilitated by lay counsellors to uncover areas of emotional difficulty in patients that require attention. In addition, drawings and written accounts may provide vital and obvious clues in identifying those at risk for mental health problems in adolescent patients.

Description
An account of the resource
Survival rates of perinatally infected HIV-positive adolescents (PIA) are increasing in sub-Saharan Africa. There is a gap in understanding how disclosure and bereavement have an impact on PIA beliefs and understanding of their HIV infection and its management. In-depth interviews were conducted with 25 purposively selected adolescents aged 13-19 years from 5 public health clinics in Johannesburg, South Africa. Data were analysed using NVivo 10 using a thematic approach. PIA experience incomplete disclosure both of their HIV status and reasons for their bereavements, which limits their understanding of how they became infected, vertical transmission and prevention options like prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). Most participants were orphaned and were experiencing complicated grieving (i.e., engaged in unresolved tasks of grieving) which had a negative impact on their mental health, and ability to accept their HIV status and adhere to treatment. PIA need improved communication regarding vertical transmission and how they became HIV-positive, as well as reasons for death of their loved ones to properly understand their HIV status and engage effectively in management. Honest communication about how relatives died and truthful engagement in the process of disclosure of HIV status is necessary to reduce stigma and complicated grieving, and improve mental health in this population.
