    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Negative nurse beliefs about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) can impact patient care quality.
    • Understanding the relationship between nurse knowledge and beliefs is crucial for effective interventions.
    • Previous research indicates a gap in addressing nurses' cognitive and affective learning needs regarding AIDS care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between registered nurses' (RNs) knowledge of AIDS and their beliefs about caring for patients with AIDS.
    • To identify how perceived knowledge influences nurses' attitudes towards AIDS patient care.
    • To propose an educational program to enhance nurses' competence and positive attitudes in AIDS care.

    Main Methods:

    • A quantitative study surveyed 515 registered nurses (RNs).

  • Data collected focused on nurses' self-perceived knowledge of AIDS and their beliefs regarding patient care.
  • Statistical analysis explored the correlation between knowledge levels and care beliefs.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant positive correlation was found between nurses' perceived knowledge of AIDS and their positive beliefs about caring for patients with AIDS.
    • Higher self-reported knowledge was associated with more favorable attitudes towards providing care.
    • The findings highlight the impact of cognitive understanding on affective responses in nursing practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhancing nurses' knowledge about AIDS is a viable strategy to foster more positive beliefs and improve patient care.
    • An inservice program addressing both cognitive and affective domains is recommended for nurses.
    • This educational approach aims to improve the quality of care for individuals with AIDS.
