In this study we determined rural nurses' educational preparation concerning AIDS, whether they thought their health care facilities and communities were prepared to care for persons with AIDS, their attitudes toward AIDS and homosexuality, and in what ways AIDS had or might affect their practice. A questionnaire, which included the Nurses' AIDS Attitude Scale (NAAS), was administered to 738 employed registered nurses in 9 rural counties in Pennsylvania and New York. Findings suggest that this sample held many negative attitudes towards AIDS and homosexuality and had specific educational needs, especially in the psychosocial domain. They thought rural physicians and health care facilities were not yet well prepared to care for persons with AIDS.
在本研究中，我们确定了乡村护士关于艾滋病的教育准备情况，他们是否认为其医疗保健机构和社区有能力护理艾滋病患者，他们对艾滋病和同性恋的态度，以及艾滋病已经或可能以何种方式影响他们的工作。我们向宾夕法尼亚州和纽约州9个乡村县的738名在职注册护士发放了一份问卷，其中包括护士艾滋病态度量表（NAAS）。研究结果表明，该样本对艾滋病和同性恋持有许多负面态度，并且有特定的教育需求，尤其是在心理社会领域。他们认为乡村医生和医疗保健机构尚未做好充分准备来护理艾滋病患者。
