Includes bibliographical references. Community health workers (CHWs) play an important role in health care in South Africa and similar countries, but relatively little is known about CHW motivations and experiences in the provision of care. This thesis considers these issues in three parts: 1. A protocol for a study of community health work in Khayelitsha, an impoverished peri-urban settlement near Cape Town, which is home to a number of ‘flagship’ public health interventions aimed at HIV/AIDS and TB. 2. A review of literature on community health work exploring naturalistic versus economistic discourses around care work, and the complex intersections of these discourses. 3. An ethnographic account of CHWs who provide a wide range of community-based care work in Khayelitsha. 2015-01-15T08:59:37Z 2015-01-15T08:59:37Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPH http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12199 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
