Many studies have documented nurses' attitudes and concerns regarding AIDS/HIV, but little is known about Taiwanese nurses. We documented attitudes, concerns, gloving practices and practical AIDS/HIV knowledge of 1090 nurses from one metropolitan hospital in Changhua City, Taiwan. The response rate was 80.9%. Both HIV and hepatitis contraction in the workplace was nurses' main concern. Two hundred and ten nurses (19.3%) were seriously considering leaving nursing because of fear of contracting AIDS/HIV. Virtually all nurses considered it their right to be informed of the presence of HIV-positive patients in their direct work area and many believed that HIV testing of patients should be mandatory. Practical AIDS/HIV knowledge was deficient. These Taiwanese nurses have concerns and fears that might be related to deficiencies in practical AIDS/HIV knowledge. Continuous educational programmes are recommended to alleviate these nurses' attitudes and concerns regarding AIDS/HIV.
许多研究记录了护士对艾滋病/艾滋病毒的态度和担忧,但对于台湾护士的情况却知之甚少。我们记录了台湾彰化市一家大型医院1090名护士的态度、担忧、戴手套习惯以及实用的艾滋病/艾滋病毒知识。回复率为80.9%。工作场所感染艾滋病毒和肝炎是护士们主要担心的问题。210名护士(19.3%)因担心感染艾滋病/艾滋病毒而认真考虑离职。几乎所有护士都认为,她们有权知晓直接工作区域内艾滋病毒呈阳性患者的情况,而且许多人认为应对患者进行强制性艾滋病毒检测。实用的艾滋病/艾滋病毒知识较为欠缺。这些台湾护士的担忧可能与实用的艾滋病/艾滋病毒知识不足有关。建议开展持续教育项目,以缓解这些护士对艾滋病/艾滋病毒的态度和担忧。
