Abstract
As an institution in providing training for social workers, BBPPKS has a very
important role to play towards the social well-being of the community. The
psychosocial problems faced by people living with HIV I AIDS (PL WHA) pose a
challenge to the BBPPKS to train social workers to have skills and knowledge in
providing interventions for clients who are living with HIVIAIDS. A qualitative
study was conducted in order to identify the extent ofBBPPKS's involvement in
providing training on HIV I AIDS. Six institutions throughout Indonesia under the
BBPPKS were selected as informants, and every institution had to determine their
representatives to be interviewed for this study. Results showed that overall those
who were interviewed had a good understanding and knowledge about HIV I AIDS
and have positive attitudes towards PL WHA. The study also discovered that
currently there is no social policy on HIVIAIDS being implemented at BBPPKS.
With regards to the training needs of HIV I AIDS for social workers, the BBPPKS in
Jayapura understands the problems ofHIVIAIDS and has conducted training on
HIV I AIDS for their social workers and stakeholders in this region. However, the
other five institutions ofBBPPKS, namely Padang, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Makassar
and Banjarmasin have yet to acknowledge the problems ofHIVIAIDS in their areas.
Furthermore, the five institutions do not have a training program ofHIVIAIDS for
social workers. At the same time, the five BBPPKS highlighted that currently there is
no stakeholders in the province ever propose for HIV I AIDS training for social
workers. However, results of interviews with stakeholders showed that there is an
important need for HIV I AIDS training. Other factors which cause these institutions
for not having any training programs include that there are no curriculum on
HIV I AIDS to train the social workers, there are no competent trainers in this area,
and is not a top priority from the Ministry of Social Affairs of Indonesia to have such
training. This study also introduced a curriculum on HIVIAIDS training for social
workers which can be implemented by BBPPKS.
