Year: 2012

Type: dissertation

Abstract: This study addresses the healthcare needs of employees and their families living in the Kruger National Park (KNP). A quantitative, explorative, descriptive research design was used to interview respondents who comprised of 75 male and female employees with children of various ages. \nThe findings revealed that physical, psychological, environmental, socio-cultural, and behavioural needs of the employees and their families living in the KNP is probably unattainable as healthcare services are poorly distributed throughout the KNP, being mostly concentrated in the main camp of Skukuza. \nA number of respondents indicated that they required consultations about psychological and socio-cultural stresses in their lives. These services are not available in the KNP.
