|
Objectives: This study was conducted to identify the correlations among the knowledge, attitude and preventive infection behaviors regarding AIDS of general hospital nurses.
Methods: Participants were 314 nurses who have been working for a C hospital in G city. Data were collected from December 3, 2012 to December 14, 2012 after the informed consents were obtained from the participants with the help of nursing department.
Results: Knowledge based on general characteristics was not different significantly. AIDS attitudes showed significant differences by age, marital status, religion and workplace and preventive infection behaviors, by age, position, duration of clinical experience. Significant correlations were not observed among the knowledge, attitude and preventive infection behaviors regarding AIDS.
Conclusions: This study showed that the knowledge of nurses regarding AIDS will need to be improved by systematic training, and, rather than preventive infection behaviors simply based on knowledge, a training program that includes physical, mental, and social aspects based on the latest information.
