Area of Science:

  • Health Professional Education
  • Nursing Education
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Understanding health professional attitudes towards Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is crucial for effective patient care and education.
  • Previous research indicates varying attitudes among different student levels and faculty regarding HIV/AIDS and associated patient populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine faculty and student attitudes related to AIDS in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs and a dental hygiene program.
  • To identify differences in attitudes among various student levels and faculty concerning HIV, homosexuality, and intravenous drug use.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary group of health professional educators conducted a study involving nursing and dental hygiene students and faculty.
  • Attitudes toward homosexuality, intravenous drug users, AIDS-phobia, work stress, and willingness to care for specific patient groups were assessed.

Main Results:

  • Consistent differences in attitudes were observed across faculty, undergraduate students, graduate students, and dental hygiene students.
  • Faculty and master's-level nursing students demonstrated the most positive attitudes and behavioral intentions regarding HIV/AIDS care.
  • A one-year follow-up indicated minimal changes in undergraduate students' attitudes and behavioral intentions.

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest a need for enhanced nursing education to address persistent negative attitudes and improve willingness to care for patients with HIV/AIDS.
  • Educational interventions should target specific groups, particularly undergraduate nursing students, to foster more positive and informed attitudes.
  • The study highlights the importance of ongoing evaluation and curriculum development in health professional education concerning sensitive health issues like AIDS.
