AB OBJECTIVE: This survey was examined for the purpose of knowing about
changes of knowledge and attitudes about AIDS among nurses, and
determining the effects of education. METHODS: A questionnaire survey
was conducted in 1990 and 1993 among a random samples of nurses who were
working at general hospitals in Mie Prefecture. RESULTS: The
questionnaire survey conducted in 1990 and 1993 showed that the majority
of nurses acquired their knowledge predominantly from television,
newspaper and weekly popular magazines, and almost half of nurses was
worried that they might be infected with AIDS. A large number of nurses
worried that AIDS would spread in Japan. In 1990, almost half the nurses
believed that transmission could occur by mosquitoes and a small
quantity of saliva. But the survey conducted in 1993 showed that the
number of nurses who had accurate knowledge had increased and the number
of nurses who would like to discriminate against AIDS patients and HIV
infected persons had decreased. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Our data
suggested that the effects of education and AIDS campaign had made
themselves felt in Mie Prefecture.
