- Description: This is a systematic review on the training and profession of nurses in South Africa. The researcher used an inductive thematic analysis to explore the themes that emerged from the literature. This review used peer-reviewed articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, Sabinet and EBSCOhost and identified 17 articles that were relevant for the study between the timeframe of 1994-2020. The review was done using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis and 5 themes were found: Nursing Crisis; Challenges in Nursing; Training Gap; Transformation in Nursing and the Job Profile of Nurses. The study recommended that more research needs to be conducted in certain areas, for example in the Eastern Cape, and to provide better incentives to nurses for example, certificates upon completion of in-service training.

- Description: A substantial amount of international research exists examining the impact of HIV/AIDS on health care workers. However, the impact of HIV/AIDS on nursing staff in South Africa has been relatively neglected. The primary objective of this study was to examine the impact of the AIDS pandemic on the subjective work experiences of peri-urban nurses in South Africa. The study explored the relationship between external changes in the nurses' working environment and their internal psychological responses for negotiating this change. A focus group of eight nurses was conducted, followed by indepth individual interviews with three group members. A grounded theory method was utilised to process and analyse the data. The research showed that nurses experience two forms of change. It was suggested that nurses respond to external changes in a manner designed to maximise their control and sense of meaning in an unpredictable environment. This accommodation involves the restoration of an internal psychological equilibrium through a process of balancing positive and negative experiences. The attainment of such an acceptable equilibrium may allow for diminished stress, increased satisfaction or fulfilment and the validation of personal and professional significance.
