Knowledge and attitudes about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in nursing and nonnursing groups

The findings suggest that Nigerian nurses will hesitate to care for patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome, and that there is potential for avoidance behaviour towards them. Periodic continuing education and curriculum enhancement to include clinical clerkship, structured experience, guided discussion on ethical scenarios and attitude exploration are suggested in order to achieve and maintain adequate knowledge and a positive attitude. University-based professional and postprofessional nursing education, which could enhance acquisition of a broad knowledge base, therefore represents the future direction.

More than 16,000 citations related to AIDS and HIV infection between May 1987 and June 1990 (38 months) were surveyed to summarize nursing research related to HIV infection; 731 nonresearch and 54 research articles, averaging about 20/month, were found. However, only 20 of the research articles addressed the five topic areas set as priority by the National Center for Nursing Research Priority Expert Panel (physiological and psychosocial aspects of care, prevention of transmission, care delivery systems, and applied ethics). There is a continued gap in the research literature related to the care aspects of HIV infection. This gap needs to be filled by nursing investigation.

“…Several researchers have developed scientific surveys concerning knowledge and attitudes about AIDS of health related professionals, adolescents, and undergraduate college students (Buisman et al, 1988;Goodwin & Roscoe, 1988;Helgerson & Petersen, 1988;Lawrence & Lawrence, 1989;Searle, 1987;Scherer, Haughey, & Wu, 1989;Wertz, Sorenson, Lebling, Kessler, & Heiren, 1987). However, very little research has been completed in the area of AIDS knowledge of future teachers.…”
