Perceived stress and burnout among volunteer caregivers working in AIDS care in South Africa
Fri, 24 May 2013 19:17:40 +0100 | Journal of Advanced Nursing
ConclusionHigh levels of stress could negatively impact volunteers’ health and well‐being and on‐the‐job performance. Policy makers must develop and fund home‐based care models that take into account the stressors associated with AIDS care, by reducing the work load, providing ongoing psychosocial support and recruiting nurses to assist volunteers. The small non‐probability sample used in this study highlights the need to treat the findings with caution. (Source: Journal of Advanced Nursing)

[Review] Rapid diagnostic tests for neurological infections in central Africa
Fri, 24 May 2013 12:17:15 +0100 | The Lancet Infectious Diseases
Infections are a leading cause of life-threatening neuropathology worldwide. In central African countries affected by endemic diseases such as human African trypanosomiasis, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and schistosomiasis, delayed diagnosis and treatment often lead to avoidable death or severe sequelae. Confirmatory microbiological and parasitological tests are essential because clinical features of most neurological infections are not specific, brain imaging is seldom feasible, and treatment regimens are often prolonged or toxic.
