A total of 233 students of nursing school affiliated to a major hospital of Delhi were surveyed anonymously employing a predesigned, pretested and self-administered questionnaire. Although, 78.6 per cent students knew that AIDS stands for "Acquired Immuno-deficiency Syndrome," 15.5 per cent students were unaware of the fact that AIDS had reached India. Majority of them were aware of various aspects of HIV/AIDS. However, they also had few misconceptions particularly regarding HIV transmission. Contrary to our belief, only one-fourth students acquired AIDS information from scientific journals. One training session on AIDS conducted for a small group of students could not bring any significant change in their knowledge. Findings suggest organization of AIDS-training sessions at regular intervals from the very inception of nursing programme to impart complete and correct knowledge of these future Florence Nightingales regarding various aspects of HIV/AIDS and for removal of misconceptions.
对德里一家大型医院附属护理学校的233名学生进行了匿名调查，采用的是预先设计、预先测试且由学生自行填写的问卷。尽管78.6%的学生知道艾滋病代表“获得性免疫缺陷综合征”，但15.5%的学生不知道艾滋病已传入印度。他们中的大多数人了解艾滋病毒/艾滋病的各个方面。然而，他们也有一些误解，特别是关于艾滋病毒传播方面。与我们的看法相反，只有四分之一的学生从科学期刊上获取艾滋病信息。为一小部分学生举办的一次艾滋病培训课程并没有给他们的知识带来任何显著变化。研究结果表明，从护理课程一开始就定期组织艾滋病培训课程，以便向这些未来的南丁格尔护士传授关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病各个方面的完整正确知识，并消除误解。
