Abstract

Caregivers refers to either the primary caregivers who are the family and informal persons who take care of the sick person all the time; and community caregivers (called volunteers in Botswana) who are the Government recruited volunteer caregivers and move from one house to another to supervise and assist the primary caregivers in their care giving tasks. However, only the primary caregivers formed the research respondents.
