Based on information gathered from group interviews, this paper presents the experience of nurses working at ART assessment sites in Fezile Dabi. Empirical data represent the following domains: perceptions and experiences surrounding the impact of ART, general and staffing needs, training, patient drug-readiness training, the value of volunteers, support and supervision from ART programme managers, and emotional support for and coping mechanisms of staff. Recommendations take account of floor-space, management, additional staff, confidentiality, practical training, drug-readiness training, and coping strategies. lbgUit die mond van die verpleegkundige: die Fezile Dabi ART assesseringsfasiliteitervaringl/bg lbrgMIV / VIGS, tesame met die implementering van ...

An argument is made that Difficult Dialogues TM needs to be located theoretically within the academic landscape of higher education, positioning it within the nature of universities in SA, grounded by a critical theoretical approach that seeks to promote social justice and responsible citizenship in higher education and moreover; as a pedagogical tool. This contextualisation of Difficult Dialogues TM and overt communication thereof to lecturers, are put forward as essential for its entrenchment as daily practice in lecture rooms, as well as countering the zeitgeist ideology within Higher Education of the instrumentalization of knowledge.
