    • Continuing education is crucial for maintaining and enhancing nurses' understanding of complex health issues like AIDS.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of an AIDS continuing education conference on nurses' knowledge and attitudes.
    • To assess the retention of knowledge and attitude changes post-conference.

    Main Methods:

    • A one-day conference on AIDS was attended by 125 nurses.
    • A pretest/posttest design with a 2-3 month retest interval was used to measure knowledge and attitudes.

    Main Results:

    • Significant improvements in nurses' AIDS-related knowledge and attitudes were observed from pretest to posttest.
    • Knowledge and attitude gains were retained at the 2-3 month retest.
    • Nurses with lower initial knowledge showed the most substantial improvements.
    • A trend towards further knowledge increase between posttest and retest was noted.

    Conclusions:

    • The AIDS continuing education conference was effective in enhancing nurses' knowledge and attitudes.
    • The learned information and attitude shifts were sustained over a 2-3 month period.
    • The conference content and speakers were well-received by participants.
