Nursing students' knowledge and anxiety about AIDS: an experimental workshop
Abstract:
The purpose of this quasiexperimental study was to examine the effectiveness of an experiential workshop on nursing students' anxiety and knowledge about AIDS. This study was based on Peplau's interpersonal theory in nursing practice. The sample included 67 senior nursing students and was designed as a three-group pre/post quasiexperiment. All groups received a pretest, posttest, and 6-week follow-up posttest. The experimental intervention was a 6-hour workshop that included anxiety awareness exercises in an experiential format and information about AIDS. Knowledge and anxiety scores were significantly higher for the group that attended the didactic portion of the workshop before the experiential portion. The control group showed no change in knowledge or anxiety. Results indicated that recognition of anxiety through experiential exercises contributed to learning about AIDS.
