The purpose of this article is to describe the impact of HIV/AIDS on Bahamian women and to recommend strategies nurses should implement to enhance the quality of life for these women. Using an eclectic feminist approach, I conducted a literature review and personal exploration of HIV/AIDS care and support related to women as caregivers, carereceivers, childrearers, and childbearers. Women's oppression in a patriarchal society and HIV/AIDS-associated stigmas have resulted in their decreased quality of life and shortened life span. Nurses need to empower Bahamian women and assist with dismantling the social order in The Bahamas, which promotes women's inequality so that women infected with HIV/AIDS can live longer and better lives. |
