Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 53-4 (April 2012) . - p.363-370 Titre : Persisting mental health problems among AIDS-orphaned children in South Africa Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lucie CLUVER, Auteur ; Mark ORKIN, Auteur ; Frances E. M. GARDNER, Auteur ; Mark E. BOYES, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.363-370 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : HIV/AIDS  orphans;adolescents  depression  anxiety  post-traumatic stress Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  By 2008, 12 million children in sub-Saharan Africa were orphaned by AIDS. Cross-sectional studies show psychological problems for AIDS-orphaned children, but until now no longitudinal study has explored enduring psychological effects of AIDS-orphanhood in the developing world. Methods:  A 4-year longitudinal follow-up of AIDS-orphaned children with control groups of other-orphans and non-orphans. 1021 children (M = 13.4 years, 50% female, 98% isiXhosa-speaking) were interviewed in 2005 and followed up in 2009 with 71% retention (49% female, M = 16.9 years), in poor urban South African settlements. Children were interviewed using sociodemographic questionnaires and well-validated standardised scales for assessing depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Data were analysed using mixed-design ANOVA and backward-stepping regression. Results:  AIDS-orphaned children showed higher depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) scores in both 2005 and 2009 when compared with other-orphans and non-orphans. Backward-stepping regression, controlling for baseline mental health, and sociodemographic cofactors such as age, gender, and type of bereavement, revealed that being AIDS-orphaned in 2005 was associated with depression, anxiety, and PTSD scores in 2009. This was not the case for other-orphaned or non-orphaned children. Age interacted with orphan status, such that there was a steep rise in psychological distress in the AIDS-orphaned group, but no rise with age amongst other-orphans and non-orphans. Conclusions:  Negative mental health outcomes amongst AIDS-orphaned children are maintained and worsen over a 4-year period. It is important that psychosocial support programmes are sustained, and focus on youth as well as young children.

Protecting child and adolescent mental health in an uncertain future: commentary on Jaffee and colleagues' Annual Research Review - 'Cash transfer programs and young people's mental health: a review of studies in the United States' / Lucie CLUVER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 66-4 (April 2025)

While global meta-analyses find evidence of effectiveness, Jaffee and colleagues highlight the limited number of studies in Northern America, but find overall results indicating small but meaningful effect sizes on improving emotional and behavioural health, and greatest impacts for the poorest families.

Psychological distress amongst AIDS-orphaned children in urban South Africa / Lucie CLUVER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 48-8 (August 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 48-8 (August 2007) . - p.755–763 Titre : Psychological distress amongst AIDS-orphaned children in urban South Africa Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lucie CLUVER, Auteur ; Don OPERARIO, Auteur ; Frances E. M. GARDNER, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.755–763 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : HIV/AIDS orphans bereavement mental-health depression anxiety post-traumatic-stress delinquency conduct-problems Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: South Africa is predicted to have 2.3 million children orphaned by Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) by 2020 (Actuarial Society of South Africa, 2005). There is little knowledge about impacts of AIDS-related bereavement on children, to aid planning of services. This study aimed to investigate psychological consequences of AIDS orphanhood in urban township areas of Cape Town, South Africa, compared to control groups of children and adolescents orphaned by other causes, and non-orphans. Method: One thousand and twenty-five children and adolescents (aged 10–19) were interviewed using socio-demographic questionnaires and standardised scales for assessing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, peer problems, delinquency and conduct problems. Results: Controlling for socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, formal/informal dwelling and age at orphanhood, children orphaned by AIDS were more likely to report symptoms of depression, peer relationship problems, post-traumatic stress, delinquency and conduct problems than both children orphaned by other causes and non-orphaned children. Anxiety showed no differences. AIDS-orphaned children were more likely to report suicidal ideation. Compared to Western norms, AIDS-orphaned children showed higher levels of internalising problems and delinquency, but lower levels of conduct problems. Conclusions: Children orphaned by AIDS may be a particularly vulnerable group in terms of emotional and, to a lesser extent, behavioural problems. Intervention programs are necessary to ameliorate the psychological sequelae of losing a parent to AIDS.
