1Calgary Regional Health Authority, Alberta, Canada.
Abstract:
Since 1995, the Canadian Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (CANAC), the Canadian Nurses Association, the Victorian Order of Nurses of Canada, and the Ordre des Infirmières et Infirmiers du Québec have collaborated on several HIV/AIDS initiatives supported by the AIDS Care, Treatment, and Support Program, Health Canada (the national health organization). CANAC is the lead and sponsoring association in this collaboration. Phases I and II of the collaboration (December 1996 to March 1999) identified, promoted, and evaluated 17 nursing projects in HIV/AIDS care across Canada. This article describes the goals and outcomes of two of the collaboration's main projects: the identification of HIV/AIDS nursing research priorities and the mentorship program in HIV/AIDS care for Francophone nurses practicing in the province of Québec.
