dc.description.abstractPlayfulness and environmental support improve children’s participation in play; their major occupation. Play has been found to be limited in children with HIV. This quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study measured playfulness and environmental support in HIV infected children staying with their families and those staying in orphanages in Marondera. A total of 30 children aged 4-5 years participated in the study. The Test of Playfulness and Test of Environmental Supportiveness were used to measure playfulness and environmental support respectively. Results indicated that the children from the orphanages group were significantly more playful (p=0.03) than the children staying with their families. It was further found that the orphanages were more supportive of play than the families. It was recommended that this finding be further investigated and that occupational therapists in Marondera begin intervention to improve playfulness and environmental support of children with HIV living with their families.en_ZA
