Background: This study assessed the predictors of self-esteem among Adolescents Living with HIV (ALHIV) in Ghana seeking healthcare at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was employed in sampling 139 adolescents using a purposive sampling technique. Rosenberg’s rating scale was used in assessing the self-esteem of the participants. Results: A total of 139 adolescents made up of 78 (56.12%) females and 61 (43.88%) males were recruited. Low self-esteem was reported among 66 (47.00%) of the adolescents. Adolescents aged 17-19 years (aOR = 2.97, 95%CI = 1.34-6.56, p = 0.007) were significantly associated with low self-esteem. Conclusion: The occurrence of low self-esteem among ALHIV was high and more pronounced among those in age cohorts of 17 to 19 years. Social support interventions designed which includes psychosocial support, life skills training, and avenue for discussing sexual and reproductive health matters could improve self-esteem.

“…The frequency of going to bed hungry was the most difficult part of the parenting role and a source of great pain and sadness for the household heads, which increased their risk of mental distress [39]. Often times, orphans in these households depended on the daily meal provided by the schoolfeeding scheme, which provides food to learners from disadvantaged communities during school hours [40,41]. Similarly, in Zimbabwe, increasingly, learners are dependent on school nutrition programmes because of hunger and poverty [42].…”

The increasing number of AIDS orphans has led to an increase in child and youth headed households. Adjusting to the parenting role with no support from their extended family is a source of distress for orphans heading households. This study explored the parenting experiences of orphaned youth heading households in resource constraints environments. Methods: The participants were purposely selected from Youth-Headed Households (YHHs) located in informal settlements in the City of Tshwane, South Africa. The data analysis was inductive and followed the thematic approach. Results: Thirteen females and five males aged between 15-24 years were interviewed. The phenomenon of YHHs occured in impoverished informal settlements partly due to orphans being forcefully removed from their parents’ homes after the death of their mothers. The household heads felt morally obliged to care for their siblings, experienced parenting as burdensome, and the role adjustment from being a child to a parent difficult and demanding. The inability to provide adequate food to feed their siblings was a source of emotional stress. In an attempt to fulfil their parenting roles, they dropped out of school to find employment. Conclusion: Although the child support and foster grant are widely recognised for improving children's access to food, education, and basic services in South Africa, the lack thereof contributed to the economic hardships and vulnerability to food insecurity and hunger among orphans in YHHs. There is a need for multi-sectoral interventions to address food insecurity and, in so doing, improve the psychosocial wellbeing of orphans in YHHs.

“…Anak yang dalam kondisi rentan dan tinggal di panti memerlukan tidak hanya dukungan secara materi tapi juga dukungan yang intangible misalnya kebutuhan akan kehangatan dan empati (Taukeni, 2015). Jika kebutuhan psikologis tidak dipenuhi, maka akan menimbulkan rasa ketidakpuasan, frustrasi, dan menghambat pertumbuhan dan perkembangan sikap positif terhadap masyarakat dan diri sendiri, sehingga mereka merasa tidak berarti dalam hidup mereka.…”
