Data on a range of variables associated with contact with patients with HIV/AIDS and attitudes towards them were collected from 174 Scottish health care workers. Measures of attitudes and contact (overall, social and physical) were derived from the scales devised by Pleck et al. (1988). The measure of overall contact was not significantly related to attitudes, but those with predominantly social contact with patients with HIV/AIDS had more positive attitudes towards them. This relationship was moderated by occupational characteristics, concern about working with people of unknown HIV status and neuroticism. With all these variables controlled, including social contact, those who had not received in-service training relating to HIV/AIDS had more negative attitudes. The results are discussed with regard to the measurement of social contact with patients, salient beliefs, the occupational characteristics associated with attitudes, and in-service education.
我们从174名苏格兰医护人员那里收集了一系列与接触艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者及对他们的态度相关的变量数据。态度和接触（总体、社交和身体接触）的测量指标源自普莱克等人（1988年）设计的量表。总体接触的测量指标与态度没有显著关联，但那些主要与艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者进行社交接触的人对他们的态度更为积极。这种关系受到职业特征、对与艾滋病毒感染状况不明者共事的担忧以及神经质的调节。在控制了所有这些变量（包括社交接触）之后，那些未接受过与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关在职培训的人态度更为消极。我们从与患者的社交接触测量、显著信念、与态度相关的职业特征以及在职教育等方面对研究结果进行了讨论。
