The purpose of this study was to examine whether a 3-year programme of nursing studies enabled nursing students to graduate from the course with greater knowledge and more positive attitudes towards HIV infection and AIDS than when they began the course. Students on a maths and information technology course were used as controls. The study involved the use of a questionnaire which gathered information about students' experience, knowledge, attitudes and moral judgement regarding HIV infection and AIDS. The experimental hypothesis stated that nursing students would show a greater increase in knowledge and positive attitude change towards HIV infection and AIDS than maths students. The results showed significant differences between third year nursing students' knowledge about HIV and AIDS when compared with other groups but it was noted that knowledge levels for all groups was quite low. There was no difference between first and third year nursing students' attitudes and moral judgement about HIV and AIDS but there was a significant difference between nursing students and maths students. It was suggested that there is a need to modify nurse education programmes in order to have greater impact on this topic area.

Prison is commonly regarded as a high risk environment for the transmission of HIV/AIDS. Five hundred and fifty-nine prisoners and 591 prison staff sampled from 8 Scottish prisons completed questionnaires concerning attitudes towards various issues of HIVIAIDS. A majority of prisoners and prison staff expressed liberal attitudes with respect to HIV/AIDS. For both staff and prisoners, the most liberal responses were to items dealing with personal and social contact with people with HIVIAIDS. A majority of prisoners and prison staff expressed conservative attitudes in relation to screening of individuals for HIV. With regard to differences between prisoners and prison staff, prisoners were more supportive than prison staff of the provision of free condoms to homosexuals and free condoms and syringes to intravenous drug users, and the provision of free medical care to both groups in the case of AIDS. Among the prisoner sample, intravenous drug users, in comparison to non-users, were found to be more positive in their attitudes toward HIVIAIDS on a wide range of issues. The implications of the study for health psychology are discussed with regard to prisoner and prison staff educational needs and prisoner management.

“…These studies have explored such attitude objects as personal concern about AIDS ( Crawford, 1990;Goodwin & Roscoe, 1988;King & Gullone, 1990), attitudes toward AIDS-infected persons (St. Lawrence & Betts, 1989;Sturz et al, 1988;Walkey, Taylor, & Green, 1990;Witt, 1989), willingness to interact with AIDS victims and members of their families (Clift & Stears, 1988;Triplet & Sugarman, 1987), attitudes toward homosexuals and lesbians (Austin, Sung-Mook, & Hunter, 1989;Royse & Birge, 1987), attitudes toward drug addicts (Sturz et al, 1988), attitudes toward hemophiliacs (Agle, Gluck, & Pierce, 1987), and willingness to provide professional help to AIDS-infected persons (Cottone, Dove, Bebermeyer, & Molinari, 1989;Imperato, Feldman, Nayeri, & Dettowitz, 1988;Richardson, Lochner, McGuigan, & Levine, 1987). Moreover, many of these topics have been studied among several different populations: groups at risk, such as homosexuals and drug addicts (Des Jarlais Des Jarlais, Friedman, & Casriel, 1990;Friedman et al, 1987;Joseph et al, 1987;Mark, 1988); professionals, such w medical staff and social workers (D.
