English

In-depth interviews were conducted with two samples of individuals (one in the US and one in South Africa) to explore their experiences with AIDS-related bereavement. Coping was influenced by similar factors though in different degrees. Thus, it is important that interventions be tailored to address these factors within each context.

French

Ce projet s'appuie sur des entrevues en profondeur qui ont été menées auprès de deux groupes de personnes aux États-Unis et en Afrique du Sud, et qui visaient à explorer leur expérience respective de deuil liée au Sida. Il en résulte que des facteurs similaires ont influencé leur façon de surmonter cette épreuve, dans une mesure toutefois différente. C'est pourquoi il est important que les interventions soient modulées afin de tenir compte de ces facteurs dans chacun des milieux.
