Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between prejudice towards AIDS, fear of contagion and level of knowledge, and nurses' attitudes toward AIDS. Additional analyses were carried out to determine if a relationship exists between attitudes toward AIDS and age, sex, marital status, area and position of employment, educational background and length of work experience of the nurses involved in the study. A sample of 99 nurses out of 200 randomly selected from a pool of New York State Nurses1 Association members responded to the invitation to participate in the study. The instrument, The Questionnaire to Identify Nurses Attitudes Towards AIDS, was developed by the investigator. It was designed to address demographic information of the respondents, his/her actual experience in caring for AIDS patients, as well as, measure respondents knowledge of AIDS, level of concern when dealing with patients with the disease, and attitude of nurses toward groups at risk for developing AIDS. Each participant's instrument had an overall mean attitude score on all 20 items computed, as well as a mean score for the ten items related to knowledge of AIDS and the ten items related to attitude toward AIDS patients, homosexuals, and IV drug users. Analysis of Variance was used to determine any variation of nurses' attitude scores among the variables studied. It is clear from this study that nurses' attitudes toward AIDS are more positive than negative. The theoretical position that nurses prejudice against the social groups at risk for developing AIDS is related to a more negative attitude toward caring for patients with AIDS was not supported by this investigation. Based on this finding, two conclusions were drawn. First, nurses' desire to uphold the ethical standards of the profession is stronger than their prejudicial attitude toward homosexuals and intravenous drug users. Second, nurses increased contact with these groups and the availability of professional literature and workshops on drug abuse and homosexuality may help to dispel false stereotypes and therefore decrease the degree of prejudice felt by nurses. It is also evident from this investigation that certain variables can affect nurses' attitude toward AIDS. Fear of contagion has been shown to cause nurses' attitudes to become more negative, while knowledge and understanding about AIDS has been shown to cause nurses' attitudes to become more positive. No significant statistical relationship was found between nurses attitude and the following demographic variables: age, sex, marital status, current education, area of employment, position held, number of years of nursing experience and number of AIDS patients cared for. There was a significant relationship between the type of programs the participants graduated from and their attitude toward AIDS. There was also a significant relationship between nurses who refused to care for AIDS patients and their attitude toward AIDS.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study was to identify the attitudes of nursing students in Alabama toward people living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), and then further explore how specific attitudes impact students' willingness to care for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH). In addition, influence on attitudes based on differences in socio-demographic characteristics were investigated. Exploration into students' perceptions regarding how close others would view them if they were to care for PLWH, and students' perceptions of how their communities, religion, and nursing education have influenced their attitudes were also performed. A sequential mixed methods study examined the attitudes of senior level students (n=36) from one Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BSN) and three Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) programs. Students completed the HIV/AIDS Provider Stigma Inventory (HAPSI) using Awareness and Acceptance scales to identify sigma related tendencies, and a socio-demographic questionnaire via online survey. Findings were further explored using individual semi-structured telephone interviews with students (n=9) who completed the online survey. Descriptive statistics and themes suggest that nursing students in Alabama carry generally positive attitudes and a willingness to care for PLWH, and the attitudes of close others have no influence on their own attitudes or willingness to care for this population. However, underlying stigmas were found to be associated with lifestyle factors associated with HIV transmission. There were significant differences found between White and non-White nursing students on both Acceptance and overall HAPSI scale scores, indicating more stigmatizing tendencies toward PLWH among white students. There were differences in Awareness scores between male and female nursing students, with males scoring higher indicating more stigma related tendencies. Themes revealed through interviews suggest that nursing students have concerns about lacking HIV knowledge and experience in caring for PLWH. However, students revealed that education within their respective nursing programs had increased some HIV knowledge. Both nursing education and religious faith had influence on students' compassionate attitudes toward caring for PLWH, despite underlying stigma. Theory of Reasoned Action provided a frame work for understanding attitudes and willingness to care, and how these attitudes are influenced by students' behavioral beliefs and normative beliefs. Findings revealed in this study may assist nurse educators in developing curriculum which focuses on both psychosocial and physical aspects of caring for PLWH.

Book excerpt: Title. A Literature Review to Explore Global Registered Nurses' Attitudes towards People living with HIV. Aim. The aim of the literature review was to identify the existing attitudes of global registered nurses' towards people living with HIV and the factors which contribute towards these. Methods. A systematic search carried out using four databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, BNI) to identify six papers. A manual search of the reference lists identified a further three papers. The final nine papers were then subject to critical appraisal using Woolliams et al, (2009) developed critical appraisal tool. Findings. The findings from the systematic review have identified a combination of positive and negative attitudes of global registered nurses' towards people living with HIV. The thematic analysis identified professional, practice and personal attributes to be the three main factors which affect nurses' attitudes. Conclusion. Nurses are in an excellent position to reduce stigma and discrimination towards HIV-positive patients through the practice of non-discriminatory and compassionate care. This study revealed that there were some negative practices towards people living with HIV as a result of a lack of knowledge, and organisational factors. It is crucial towards the management of the HIV epidemic that nurses and other health professionals are aware of these negative practices and how they can contribute towards HIV patients disengaging with health providers. It is of great importance that RNs around the world are provided with the appropriate education and training to meet the increased care demands of people living with HIV.

Each chapter includes a case scenario with discussion questions and practice points that highlight critical clinical best practices. The editors and contributors are respected experts on the health of LGBT people, and the book will be a “first of its kind” resource for all clinicians who wish to become better educated about, and provide high quality healthcare to, their LGBT patients.
