ABSTRACT
Aim:
to verify the information and knowledge about HIV/AIDS on women's health of students enrolled in the nursing undergraduate course at a public university of Sao Paulo state, Brazil.Method:
This is a descriptive study, initially assessing 56 nursing students studying Womens Health during the academic year of 1998/99. A further 51 students were assessed during 2010. The data was collected via a questionnaire, filled in by the students before a class regarding HIV/AIDS and women. This project was approved by the Ethics in Research Committee and by the Research Commission of the institution.Results:
A decrease in the degree of the students knowledge was observed in 2010 in comparison to 1998/9. On the other hand, the 2010 respondents answered more questions regarding vertical transmission of the virus/disease correctly.Conclusion:
This study suggests that changing teaching strategies to include activities in the field, allowing early contact between students and clientele may be beneficial.Palabras clave
