Challenges faced by Community-Based Rehabilitation Caregivers for person with disabilities in Vhembe District, South Africa. . . http://hdl.handle.net/11602/726http://hdl.handle.net/11602/726MPHDepartment of Public HealthBackground: Globally, more than one billion people, or approximately 15% of the world’s population are living with some form of disability and 80% of them are found in developing countries. There are different types of disability; these include sensory, neurological, physical, intellectual, cognitive and psychiatric disabilities. Persons with disabilities may require specialized care, resources and commitment which place a very high demand of time and responsibilities on the one caring for them. Therefore, Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) was promoted by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a strategy to respond to the needs of persons with disabilities, through the provision of basic services at community level, particularly in developing countries with limited resources. Methodology: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the challenges faced by Community-Based Rehabilitation caregivers for persons with disabilities in Vhembe District, South Africa. A qualitative phenomenological design was used to explore and develop an in-depth understanding of the CBR caregiver’s challenges. The study was conducted in three Community-Based Rehabilitation centres located within Vhembe District with a sample size of six caregivers who were purposively selected. An interview guide was developed as an instrument for data collection. Data was collected through in-depth individual interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Six main themes emerged from the data which shed light on the CBR caregiver’s challenges, namely; Poor relationships between caregivers, government v department and families, unavailability of material and human resources, poor funding system, caregivers’ well-being, education and training and the coping strategies of CBR caregivers Conclusion: This study pointed out that there is a need for intervention from different stakeholders such as government departments, family members of persons with disability, and the community members as well for CBR caregiver’s challenges to be resolved or minimized.1 online resource (xii, 79 leaves)enUniversity of VendaCaregiversUCTDChallengesCommunity-based rehabilitationDisabilities362.610968257 MAPCommunity centres -- South Africa -- LimpopoCaregivers -- South Africa -- LimpopoPeople with disabilities -- South Africa -- LimpopoRehabilitation centres -- South Africa -- LimpopoHealth facilities -- South Africa -- LimpopoPeople with disabilities -- Rehabilitation -- South Africa -- LimpopoDissertationMaphutha M.
