| Abstract: | Given the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Kenya, more Kenyans now find themselves in the role of informal caregiver for a family
member or multiple family members living with HIV/AIDS. However, there exists little research on how these individuals cope.
The present study explores coping responses among caregivers for family members living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya. An exploratory
factor analysis of the Brief COPE yielded five factors, with strong loadings on Emotional Support and Instrumental Support.
Implications for using the Brief COPE in research and clinical practice among Kenyans are discussed. |
