Background: The negative attitude and poor nursing intention to AIDS in health care personnel are the major barriers to provide adequate care. The increase in AIDS-related knowledge by the traditional AIDS education methods has not always been accompanied by a positive attitude or improvement of nursing intention. Purpose: To investigate the effects of sociodrama on AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes to AIDS and nursing intention among nursing students.
Method: Fifty-six nursing students (sociodrama: 27 case, lecture: 29 case) were recruited from Chodang University, Korea. A session of AIDS lecture using slides was given to both groups. After then, the sociodrama group had 4 sociodrama sessions additionally. Data was collected before and after the experiment by using self-rating questionnaire consisted of 89 items.
Results: The AIDS-related knowledge (p=.001), attitude to AIDS care (p=.001), discrimination (p=.000) and intention of AIDS care (p=.000), but not prejudice to AIDS client (p=.097), were significantly increased after the sociodrama. Similar results occurred after the lecture only. However, the sociodrama group showed significantly higher knowledge (F=2.581, p=.010), lower prejudice to AIDS client (F=2.202, p=.022), less discrimination (F=2.452, p=.018) and intention of AIDS care (F=2.202, p=.022), but not attitude to AIDS care (F=1.541, p=.134), than the lecture group did.
Conclusion: AIDS education through sociodrama is very useful to improve AIDS-related knowledge, attitude to AIDS clients, discrimination, and intention of AIDS care in nursing students.
