abstract: 'As people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) achieve more stable health, many
have taken on active peer support and professional roles within AIDS
service organizations. Although the increased engagement has been
associated with many improved health outcomes, emerging program and
research evidence have identified new challenges associated with such
transition. This paper reports on the results of a qualitative
interpretive study that explored the effect of this role transition on
PHA service providers'' access to mental health support and self care. A
total of 27 PHA service providers of diverse ethno-racial backgrounds
took part in the study. Results show that while role transition often
improves access to financial and health-care benefits, it also leads to
new stress from workload demands, emotional triggers from client''s
narratives, feeling of burnout from over-immersion in HIV at both
personal and professional levels, and diminished self care. Barriers to
seeking support included: concerns regarding confidentiality;
self-imposed and enacted stigma associated with accessing mental health
services; and boundary issues resulting from changes in relationships
with peers and other service providers. Evolving support mechanisms
included: new formal and informal peer support networks amongst
colleagues or other PHA service providers to address both personal and
professional challenges, and having access to professional support
offered through the workplace. The findings suggest the need for
increased organizational recognition of HIV support work as a form of
emotional labor that places complex demands on PHA service providers.
Increased access to employer-provided mental health services, supportive
workplace policies, and adequate job-specific training will contribute
to reduced work-related stress. Community level strategies that support
expansion of social networks amongst PHA service providers would reduce
isolation. Systemic policies to increase access to insurance benefits
and enhance sector-wide job preparedness and post-employment support
will sustain long-term and meaningful involvement of PHAs in service
provision.'
