The views about autonomy in medical treatment of people with HIV infection (who had acquired it via the injection of drugs) and their professional carers were investigated using a standardized self-report instrument. Forty-two patients and 61 staff were entered in the study. Patients and staff reported strong endorsement of patient autonomy, but there were important differences between groups. Staff as a group reported higher preference for patients' involvement in decision-making than the patients themselves, while the opposite was true for information-seeking, where patients wanted more information than staff had anticipated. The practical implications of the findings are discussed.
使用标准化的自我报告工具，对感染艾滋病毒（通过注射毒品感染）的患者及其专业护理人员在医疗自主权方面的观点进行了调查。42名患者和61名工作人员参与了该研究。患者和工作人员都强烈支持患者自主权，但两组之间存在重要差异。总体而言，工作人员比患者自己更倾向于让患者参与决策，而在信息寻求方面则相反，患者想要的信息比工作人员预期的更多。文中讨论了这些研究结果的实际意义。
