ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study aims at comparing nurses' knowledge, attitudes and nursing intention toward AIDS and Chronic Hepatitis B(CHB).METHODS:
The data were collected through self-reported questionnaires from 245 nurses between July and August, 2011. The nurses were recruited from 3 hospitals located in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression were adopted to analyze the data.RESULTS:
Regarding AIDS, higher knowledge level was correlated with positive attitudes only(r=-.22, p<.001), which were correlated with favorable nursing intention(r=-.41, p<.001). Higher CHB knowledge level was correlated with both positive attitudes toward CHB(r=-.14, p=.030) and favorable nursing intention(r=.18, p=.004). Nursing intention toward AIDS was affected by attitudes(beta=.58, p<.001) and explained 16.6% of the variance. Both knowledge(beta=.35, p=.028) and attitudes(beta=-.49, p<.001) influenced nursing intention toward CHB and explained 19.1% of the variance.CONCLUSION:
We need to promote nurses' positive attitudes toward AIDS to increase their nursing intention for people living with AIDS.
