This paper examines changes in health care workers' perceptions of AIDS accruing from attempts at professional enlightenment. Based upon a 4-month study of 60 registered nurses enrolled in a bachelor of nursing programme, it investigates alterations in knowledge and attitudes resulting from intense instruction on AIDS and AIDS patient care as part of a class in epidemiology. Contrary to what much of the literature has suggested to this point regarding knowledge enhancement and attitudinal transformation, the research reveals a number of positive changes to have occurred over the period of the study. Not only were the nurses better informed about AIDS than previously, but their attitudes towards the disease and patient care had become considerably more liberal.
本文考察了医护人员因专业启蒙尝试而产生的对艾滋病认知的变化。基于对60名攻读护理学学士学位的注册护士进行的为期4个月的研究，调查了作为流行病学课程一部分的关于艾滋病及艾滋病患者护理的强化教学所导致的知识和态度的变化。与此前许多文献在知识增进和态度转变方面所表明的情况相反，该研究揭示在研究期间发生了一些积极变化。护士们不仅比以前更了解艾滋病，而且他们对该疾病和患者护理的态度也变得更加开明。
