During the second half of 1993, a survey to assess awareness, attitudes, habits, and behavior with regard to HIV and AIDS was performed among health care workers in the Cote d'Ivoire. A total of 90 health care workers, 42 in Abidjan and 48 in Daloa, were surveyed. The majority (87%) were women. Understanding of the terms "AIDS" and "seropositivity" was good as was knowledge of AIDS-related symptoms. Awareness was better among newly recruited workers and nurses than among orderlies. Appreciation of risk was strongly linked with the notion of high-risk population. The occupational nature of the risk was clearly understood and anxiety in this regard was increased by uncertainty as to modes of secondary transmission and lack of preventive measures. On the individual and personal level protection consisted mainly in reducing the number of partners and outside activities. There was a great demand for training and information. As a result of the uncertainties revealed in this survey there appears to be a reluctance or refusal to perform certain procedures or treat certain patients and even a tendency to abandon the health care profession.
1993年下半年，在科特迪瓦的医护人员中开展了一项调查，以评估他们对艾滋病毒和艾滋病的认知、态度、习惯及行为。总共对90名医护人员进行了调查，其中42名在阿比让，48名在达洛亚。大多数（87%）为女性。对“艾滋病”和“血清阳性”这两个术语的理解以及对艾滋病相关症状的了解情况良好。新入职员工和护士的认知程度高于护工。对风险的认知与高危人群的概念紧密相关。人们清楚地了解到风险的职业性质，而二次传播方式的不确定性以及缺乏预防措施加剧了这方面的焦虑情绪。在个人层面，防护主要在于减少性伴侣数量和减少外出活动。对培训和信息有强烈需求。由于此次调查中揭示的种种不确定性，医护人员似乎不愿或拒绝执行某些程序或治疗某些患者，甚至有放弃医疗行业的倾向。
