Investigated attitudes toward AIDS patients among medical and nursing students. Two separate cohorts of students (total N = 550) were surveyed to examine and then validate with confirmatory factor analysis the latent factor structure of such attitudes. Results indicate that a three-factor structure representing fear of contagion, negative emotions, and professional resistance provides a good fit to the data (goodness-of-fit index [GFI] = .92, parsimonious GFI = .67). We offer the resulting 15-item AIDS Attitudes Scale (AAS) as a reliable and valid measure for assessing health care students' attitudes toward working with AIDS patients. Our results suggest the presence of multiple predictors of such attitudes.
调查了医学和护理专业学生对艾滋病患者的态度。对两组不同的学生（共550名）进行了调查，以检验并随后通过验证性因素分析来验证此类态度的潜在因素结构。结果表明，代表对传染的恐惧、负面情绪和专业抵触的三因素结构与数据拟合良好（拟合优度指数[GFI]=0.92，简约GFI=0.67）。我们提供由此产生的15项艾滋病态度量表（AAS），作为评估医护专业学生对与艾滋病患者共事态度的可靠且有效的测量工具。我们的结果表明存在此类态度的多种预测因素。
