The purpose of this research was to explore the knowledge of, attitudes toward, and intention to care for HIV-positive patients among 223 Taiwanese nurses. They worked in many different settings and had a variety of levels of exposure to HIV-positive patients. The findings of this research revealed that most Taiwanese nurses lacked sufficient knowledge to prevent themselves from becoming infected in the workplace. Their attitude about giving care to HIV-positive patients was generally negative; most nurses stated that they did not intend to care for these patients. A regression analysis revealed that knowledge was not a significant predictor of intention. Attitudes about societal treatment of HIV-positive people and nursing care were significant predictors of intention. Implications for practice and education of Taiwanese nurses are discussed.
本研究的目的是探讨223名台湾护士对艾滋病毒呈阳性患者的了解、态度及护理意愿。她们工作于多种不同环境，接触艾滋病毒呈阳性患者的程度各异。本研究结果显示，大多数台湾护士缺乏足够的知识来预防自己在工作场所被感染。她们对护理艾滋病毒呈阳性患者的态度普遍消极；大多数护士表示无意护理这些患者。回归分析表明，知识并非护理意愿的显著预测因素。对艾滋病毒呈阳性者的社会对待及护理的态度是护理意愿的显著预测因素。文中讨论了对台湾护士实践与教育的启示。
