tailieunhanh - The Health of Our Educators

The evidence presented in this report shows that the health of our educators is a source of concern because the prevalence of HIV is high. The determinants are multiple: behavioural, knowledge deficit, lack of self-efficacy skills, migratory practices, gender, and alcohol misuse. Chronic conditions such as hypertension, stomach ulcers, arthritis and diabetes are common. The report also shows that our country is likely to lose a very high proportion of educators due to job dissatisfaction, job stress and low morale | FACTORS DETERMINING EDUCATOR SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN SOUTH AFRICAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS The Health of our Educators A focus on HIV AIDS in South African public schools 2004 5 Survey Edited by o Shisana ScD K Peltzer PhD N Zungu-Dirwayi MA JS Louw MA Free download from Report prepared for the Education Labour Relations Council elrc EDUCATION LABOUR RELATIONS COUNCIL Report prepared by a research consortium comprising the Human Sciences Research Council and the Medical Research Council of South Africa HUMAN SCIENCES RESEARCH COUNCIL Free download from Prepared for the Education Labour Relations Council by a research consortium comprising the Social Aspects of HIV AIDS and Health Research Programme of the Human Sciences Research Council and the Medical Research Council Published by HSRC Press Private Bag X9182 Cape Town 8000 South Africa 2005 Education Labour Relations Council First published 2005 All rights reserved.
