AB The objective of the present study was to determine possible relations
between attitudes towards some aspects of facing AIDS and personality
traits in nursing personnel for later elaboration of a program of
guidance and follow-up of professionals who treat the disease. On the
basis of the attitude scales constructed by the theoretical model of
FISHBEIN and AJZEN (1975), a survey was carried out on 56 professionals
of the Nursing Service of the University Hospital of Ribeirao Preto to
determine their attitudes towards the six dimensions of AIDS treatment:
the disease itself, support treatment, the stigma attached to the
patient, the impotence of the professional, the rapport with the
patient, and the embarrassment due to the conditions of care provided.
The personality traits of these 56 subjects were later evaluated by
applying Questionnaire 16 PF of CATTEL and EBER (1954). Correlation
studies and contingency analyses revealed interaction between attitudes
towards some factors and the results obtained with the 16 PF, with the
level of significance set at p = .05. A detailed analysis of the
personality/attitudes towards AIDS relationship was then performed from
the results obtained, in combination with data obtained in previous
studies.
