AB The purpose of this research was to explore the knowledge of, attitudes
toward, and intention to care for HIV-positive patients among 223
Taiwanese nurses. They worked in many different settings and had a
variety of levels of exposure to HIV-positive patients. The findings of
this research revealed that most Taiwanese nurses lacked sufficient
knowledge to prevent themselves from becoming infected in the workplace.
Their attitude about giving care to HIV-positive patients was generally
negative; most nurses stated that they did not intend to care for these
patients. A regression analysis revealed that knowledge was not a
significant predictor of intention. Attitudes about societal treatment
of HIV-positive people and nursing care were significant predictors of
intention. Implications for practice and education of Taiwanese nurses
are discussed.
