A qualitative study was conducted to explore the perceptions of African American nursing students as they provided care to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. This research addressed the following question: What are the lived experiences of African American nursing students when they provide care to AIDS patients? The participants in this study were a convenience sample of 12 associate degree nursing students enrolled full-time at a historically Black college and university located in Virginia. Data were collected through audio taped interviews. Five dominant themes emerged: 1) fear of exposure and transmission; 2) hopelessness about the situation; 3) self-identification with the individual; 4) empathy toward persons with AIDS (PWAs); 5) and spirituality and belief in an afterlife. Female nursing students were able to identify with their AIDS patients while male nursing students were not. Many of the nursing students felt ostracized by their peers, and a lack of knowledge hindered the nursing students' deliverance of compassionate nursing care.
开展了一项定性研究，以探究非裔美国护理专业学生在为获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）患者提供护理时的看法。本研究探讨了以下问题：非裔美国护理专业学生在为艾滋病患者提供护理时的实际经历是怎样的？本研究的参与者是从弗吉尼亚州一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学全日制注册的12名护理学副学士学位学生中选取的便利样本。数据通过录音访谈收集。出现了五个主要主题：1）对暴露和传播的恐惧；2）对病情的绝望；3）与患者的自我认同；4）对艾滋病患者的同理心；5）灵性和对来世的信仰。女护理专业学生能够与她们的艾滋病患者产生共鸣，而男护理专业学生则不能。许多护理专业学生感到被同龄人排斥，知识的匮乏阻碍了护理专业学生提供富有同情心的护理服务。
