This article presents results on nursing and midwife students' willingness to care for patients with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). An international cross-sectional survey design was used and the data were collected from educational institutions in Finland (N=169), Estonia (N=132) and Lithuania (N=170) between autumn 2005 and spring 2006. Participants (N=471) were nursing and midwife students training to be RN, public health nurses or midwives. A modified version of a scale developed by Duppert et al. (1994) was applied to measure willingness to care for patients with HIV/AIDS. The study found a general willingness on the part of students to provide care for patients with HIV/AIDS. However, nursing and midwife students willingness varied between countries and was also related to specific nursing interventions. Factors associated with students willingness also varied within each country, depending on nurses' age, nursing experience (Finland), positive attitudes to treating patients with HIV/AIDS in general (Finland, Estonia), and previous experience in taking care of a patient with HIV/AIDS (Lithuania). It is important to develop strategies for nursing vulnerable patient populations and international nursing curricula to identify prejudicial thinking and intolerance towards patients with HIV/AIDS.
本文介绍了护理和助产学专业学生愿意照顾艾滋病毒/获得性免疫缺陷综合征（HIV/AIDS）患者的意愿。采用国际横断面调查设计，2005 年秋季至 2006 年春季期间在芬兰（N=169）、爱沙尼亚（N=132）和立陶宛（N=170）的教育机构收集数据。参与者（N=471）是正在接受注册护士、公共卫生护士或助产士培训的护理和助产学专业学生。应用了由 Duppert 等人（1994 年）开发的量表的修订版来衡量对照顾 HIV/AIDS 患者的意愿。研究发现，学生普遍愿意为 HIV/AIDS 患者提供护理。然而，护理和助产学专业学生的意愿在国家之间存在差异，并且还与特定的护理干预措施有关。与学生意愿相关的因素也因国家而异，取决于护士的年龄、护理经验（芬兰）、对一般治疗 HIV/AIDS 患者的积极态度（芬兰、爱沙尼亚）以及照顾 HIV/AIDS 患者的先前经验（立陶宛）。制定针对护理弱势群体的策略和国际护理课程非常重要，以确定对 HIV/AIDS 患者的偏见思维和不容忍态度。
