The buddy volunteer commitment in AIDS care.

P Velentgas, C Bynum and S Zierler

Department of Community Health, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912.

Buddy volunteers provide crucial assistance to people with HIV-related illnesses. Based on volunteers' self-administered questionnaires, our study describes the nature of buddy work. Volunteers indicated their satisfaction with both personal performance and buddy program administration. Several factors were associated with volunteer satisfaction. This report is a first attempt to describe this special relationship created in response to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic.
