AB Primary care of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) presents major challenges for the nurse practitioner. HIV disease
is a chronic illness requiring frequent visits to the primary care
provider and a treatment regimen that is complex and often poses
difficulty in patient adherence. A patient satisfaction survey designed
to include aspects of care specific to HIV was given to HIV-positive
individuals presenting for care at an urban medical teaching clinic.
Fifty-two patients with HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome completed
the patient satisfaction survey between February and May 1994. Overall
satisfaction with patient care was high. When nurse practitioners were
compared with physician providers, however, nurse practitioners fared
more favorably in the areas relating to clinic waiting time, provider
knowledge about the disease, continuity of care, and patient education.
