This descriptive study randomly surveyed all 302 Massachusetts members of the Intravenous Nurses Society in 1991 regarding their perceptions of nine possible consequences of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection caused by accidental occupational exposure. Areas of highest concern were financial: adequacy of worker's compensation, ability of the employer to cover all healthcare costs, and job security. Nurses also were concerned about confidentiality of their HIV status and personal history jeopardizing their benefits. The i.v. nurses felt most secure in areas of their personal lives: housing and support of family and friends. Although some concerns correlated significantly with fear of contagion, others were unrelated, indicating a need for policy and attitude changes to promote comfort in working with HIV.
这项描述性研究于1991年对马萨诸塞州静脉输液护士协会的所有302名成员进行了随机调查，询问他们对职业意外暴露导致人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染的九种可能后果的看法。最受关注的领域是经济方面：工人赔偿的充足性、雇主支付所有医疗费用的能力以及工作保障。护士们还担心自己的HIV感染状况和个人病史的保密性会危及他们的福利。静脉输液护士在个人生活领域（住房以及家人和朋友的支持）感觉最为安心。虽然有些担忧与对传染的恐惧显著相关，但其他担忧则无关，这表明需要改变政策和态度，以促进在与HIV感染者共事时的安心感。
