Description:

Staff shortages could harm the provision and quality of health care in Uganda and therefore staff retention and motivation are crucial. Understanding the impact of HIV/AIDS on staff contributes to designing appropriate retention and motivation strategies. This research aimed to identify the influence of HIV/AIDS on staff working in general hospitals at district level in rural areas and to explore support required and offered to deal with HIV/AIDS in the workplace. Results from interviews and surveys show that HIV/AIDS is an important contextual factor that impacts working conditions in various ways.
