This paper reports the findings of a study which examines the relationship between the use of an educational intervention with nurses from several Asian countries and changes in knowledge, attitudes and willingness to care for patients with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). A pre-test and post-test questionnaire was used to collect the data. The results indicate, that whilst there was an improvement in knowledge following the educational intervention, there is a need for further improvement in the knowledge levels of the nurses. The method of contracting the virus is less influential in shaping students' attitudes towards people with HIV/AIDS. Fear of contagion is evident; this increases when more invasive clinical procedures are being carried out. What is also evident is that multiple levels of infection control protocols are used with patients. Fear of contagion is also apparent in the participants' willingness to work with colleagues and patients with HIV/AIDS. While the participants stated that they were more willing to work with colleagues and patients with HIV/AIDS following the educational intervention, they said that they would continue to take additional precautions for fear of contracting HIV in the workplace. The conclusion emphasizes that it is important for education about HIV/AIDS to be incorporated within current undergraduate and in-service programmes.
本文报告了一项研究的结果，该研究考察了对来自几个亚洲国家的护士进行教育干预与知识、态度以及护理人类免疫缺陷病毒/获得性免疫缺陷综合征（HIV/AIDS）患者意愿的变化之间的关系。采用了一份前后测问卷来收集数据。结果表明，虽然教育干预后知识有所提高，但护士的知识水平仍需进一步提高。病毒的传播方式在塑造学生对HIV/AIDS患者的态度方面影响较小。对传染的恐惧很明显；在进行更多侵入性临床操作时，这种恐惧会增加。同样明显的是，对患者采用了多层次的感染控制方案。参与者与感染HIV/AIDS的同事和患者共事的意愿中也明显存在对传染的恐惧。虽然参与者表示在接受教育干预后更愿意与感染HIV/AIDS的同事和患者共事，但他们表示出于对在工作场所感染HIV的恐惧，仍会继续采取额外的预防措施。结论强调，将HIV/AIDS教育纳入当前的本科和在职培训项目很重要。
