There is growing evidence that mental health is a significant issue among
families affected by AIDS-related parental deaths. The current study examined
posttraumatic stress symptoms and identified risk factors among adults caring for
AIDS-orphaned and other-orphaned children in an HIV-endemic South African
community. A representative community sample of adults caring for children (N =
1,599) was recruited from Umlazi Township. Of the 116 participants who reported
that a traumatic event was still bothering them, 19 % reported clinically
significant posttraumatic stress symptoms. Of the 116 participants, caregivers of
AIDS-orphaned and other-orphaned children were significantly more likely to meet
threshold criteria for PTSD (28 %) compared to caregivers of non-orphaned
children (10 %). Household receipt of an old age pension was identified as a
possible protective factor for PTSD symptoms among caregivers of orphaned
children. Services are needed to address PTSD symptoms among caregivers of
orphaned children.
