HIV is a preventable infection. Effective HIV prevention interventions, which include routine HIV screening, have reduced HIV transmission. As health care providers, nurse practitioners (NPs) have a role in screening for HIV. In this study, we explored NP attitudinal, social normative (expectation and priority), and behavioral control (perceived barriers and facilitators) beliefs that predicted their self-reported HIV screening behaviors. The Theory of Planned Behavior guided the study. Data from 141 NPs were collected through a cross-sectional, paper and pencil survey. Findings revealed that the belief that "my office staff supports routine HIV screening with my patients" predicted HIV screening, whereas the belief that "consent from a parent/guardian should be obtained before screening for HIV in a person younger than 18 years" predicted less HIV screening. Nurse practitioners identified social normative expectations to be most influential in predicting their routine HIV screening behaviors.
艾滋病毒是可预防的感染。有效的艾滋病毒预防干预措施，包括常规艾滋病毒筛查，已经减少了艾滋病毒的传播。作为医疗保健提供者，执业护士（NP）在艾滋病毒筛查方面发挥了作用。在这项研究中，我们探讨了预测 NP 自我报告艾滋病毒筛查行为的态度、社会规范（期望和优先级）和行为控制（感知障碍和促进因素）信念。计划行为理论指导了这项研究。通过横断面、纸笔调查收集了 141 名执业护士的数据。研究结果表明，“我的办公室工作人员支持我为患者进行常规艾滋病毒筛查”这一信念预测了艾滋病毒筛查，而“在 18 岁以下的人进行艾滋病毒筛查前应获得父母/监护人的同意”这一信念预测了较少的艾滋病毒筛查。执业护士认为社会规范期望对预测他们的常规艾滋病毒筛查行为最有影响。
