A pilot study was conducted to identify nurses' attitudes and concerns pertaining to the care of people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Data were collected using an anonymous, voluntary questionnaire, which was made available to all nurses at a Wellington Area Health Board (New Zealand) hospital. Of 562 nursing staff, 286 (51%) responded, of which 74 (25.9%) had previously attended an HIV/AIDS workshop for Area Health Board staff. Of those staff handling blood, 132 (49.4%) always wore gloves, and only half of the respondents (n = 148, 51%) treated all body fluids as potentially HIV positive. The possible attrition rate from nursing positions in the canvassed hospital was 2.8%, with a further 43 (15.0%) undecided about resigning from their post. Only 36 nurses (12.5%) believed the employer did not provide adequate safety measures. The provision of education regarding HIV/AIDS, by the employer, was considered inadequate by 61 (21.3%) respondents. This study demonstrates that further safety and education needs should be attended to or reinforced.
开展了一项试点研究，以确定护士对人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染者和获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）患者护理的态度和关切。通过一份匿名自愿调查问卷收集数据，该问卷面向惠灵顿地区卫生委员会（新西兰）一家医院的所有护士发放。在562名护理人员中，286人（51%）做出了回应，其中74人（25.9%）此前参加过地区卫生委员会工作人员的HIV/AIDS研讨会。在那些接触血液的工作人员中，132人（49.4%）总是戴手套，只有一半的受访者（n = 148，51%）将所有体液都视为潜在的HIV阳性。在所调查的医院中，护士岗位可能的人员流失率为2.8%，另有43人（15.0%）尚未决定是否辞职。只有36名护士（12.5%）认为雇主没有提供足够的安全措施。61名（21.3%）受访者认为雇主提供的关于HIV/AIDS的教育不足。这项研究表明，应关注或加强进一步的安全和教育需求。
