As a result of the HIV/AIDS problem, the Faculty of Health Sciences undertook to investigate the immune systems of HIV/AIDS patients in the Potchefstroom health district. One of the aims were to improve the sense of well-being and quality of life of these patients by means of a group work intervention programme. To evaluate the effect of the programme, Affectometer 2 (AFM) by Kammann and Flett (1983) was used. The results obtained by this evaluation showed that the group work programme brought about a significant difference in the sense of well-being and quality of life of these patients.
