The relationship of AIDS-related knowledge of nursing students to their attitude toward HIV-infected persons was examined, and the effect of a 90-minute educational seminar on their knowledge and attitudes was evaluated. A survey of 72 nursing students was performed in Kochi prefecture in October, 1992 using a questionnaire. Eighty-six mothers whose children received medical examinations at the health center of the surveyed area during the same period functioned as the control group. Although the students had more knowledge about HIV/AIDS, their attitudes toward HIV-infected persons were no more positive than those of the control group. However the higher their level of knowledge was, the more positive their attitudes toward people with AIDS were. Two items of knowledge: symptoms of infection and safety in sharing utensils appeared to be related to positive attitudes. Those students who thought that "the number of HIV-infected persons will rapidly increase" tended to respond that "they are worried about getting AIDS in the future"; "they will not change their attitudes to their HIV-infected friends"; and "the persons who got AIDS through coagulation factor products should be supported." The results also show that a seminar about HIV/AIDS that provides information in a short period of time is effective in reducing prejudice and improving attitudes toward HIV-infected persons.
研究了护理专业学生与艾滋病相关的知识与其对艾滋病毒感染者态度之间的关系，并评估了一场90分钟的教育研讨会对他们知识和态度的影响。1992年10月，在高知县对72名护理专业学生进行了问卷调查。同期在被调查地区的健康中心接受体检的86名儿童的母亲作为对照组。尽管学生们对艾滋病毒/艾滋病有更多的了解，但他们对艾滋病毒感染者的态度并不比对照组更积极。然而，他们的知识水平越高，对艾滋病患者的态度就越积极。两项知识内容：感染症状和共用器具的安全性似乎与积极态度有关。那些认为“艾滋病毒感染者的数量将迅速增加”的学生倾向于回答“他们担心将来会感染艾滋病”；“他们不会改变对感染艾滋病毒的朋友的态度”；以及“应该支持那些因凝血因子产品而感染艾滋病的人”。结果还表明，一场在短时间内提供信息的关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的研讨会在减少偏见和改善对艾滋病毒感染者的态度方面是有效的。
