“…Approaches aimed at increasing knowledge of HIV/AIDS may contribute to increased knowledge and awareness about AIDS prevention. Chan et al (2012) found that third-and fourth-year nursing students had better knowledge of HIV/AIDS than first-and second-year ones. Like Bektas ß and Kulakac ß (2007), the current study found that upper-class nursing students obtained higher HIV/AIDS knowledge scores than lower-class students.…”

“…The more contact nursing personnel have with people living with HIV/AIDS, the greater their knowledge and the better their attitudes; they are less likely to stigmatise and discriminate against patients with HIV/AIDS (ICN 2006). Chan et al (2012) found that nursing students who had experience caring for patients living with HIV/ AIDS had higher knowledge scores relating to HIV/AIDS. Bektas ß and Kulakac ß (2007) reported that Turkish nursing students who had previous experience in caring for patients with AIDS were willing to care for people living with HIV.…”

“…Several studies have explored the relationship between knowledge of HIV/AIDS and positive attitudes towards people with AIDS. In several of these studies, university students' knowledge correlated positively with good attitudes towards HIV-positive people and patients with AIDS (Tavoosi et al 2004, Chan et al 2012, Korhonen et al 2012, Ouzouni & Nakakis 2012. However, the current findings go against these results; there was no correlation between mean scores on the attitude scales and mean scores on the knowledge scale.…”

O estudo objetivou analisar os processos de ensino e aprendizagem relacionados ao HIV/aids pelos alunos do último ano dos cursos de enfermagem de uma instituição pública de ensino superior. Estudo descritivo de abordagem quantitativa, que utilizou um instrumento autoaplicável contendo variáveis sociodemográficas; questões sobre oportunidades de ensino sobre o tema e aprofundamento dos conteúdos abordados. Para a análise dos dados utilizou-se técnicas descritivas. Participaram do estudo, 84 alunos, dos quais 51,2% não tiveram aulas teóricas sobre o tema, entretanto, 57,1% afirmaram contato com o assunto em situações na prática. De modo geral o ensino apresentou fragilidades. Frente aos desafios e avanços no complexo universo do agravo é primordial repensar os processos educacionais na formação do enfermeiro, posto que este profissional responsabiliza-se pela gestão do cuidado às pessoas que vivem com HIV/aids. Os resultados encontrados fornecem elementos para reflexão sobre a realidade do ensino em enfermagem sobre o agravo.

Background: HIV/AIDS as a global pandemic forced the nursing student to have appropriate knowledge and attitudes toward caring for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Purpose: This study aims to explore the level of knowledge, attitudes, and willingness of pre-clinical nursing students to provide nursing care for PLWHA. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study is conducted. A total of 185 pre-clinical nursing students enrolled in Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), and Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) programs were recruited. Data was collected from April to May 2019 using a self-reported questionnaire and analysed with descriptive statistics, a t-test, and Pearson’s correlation test with a significant level of 0.05. Results: Overall pre-clinical nursing students had moderate knowledge about HIV/AIDS, but students had a negative attitude toward HIV/AIDS. The students’ mean score of willingness to care for PLWHA was 5.45. BSN students had better knowledge than ADN students, and the difference was significant. However, differences in attitudes and willingness to manage between BSN and ADN students were insignificant. In addition, the differences in knowledge, attitudes, and desire to care between males and females were insignificant. The result revealed that attitudes and willingness to care for PLWHA were significantly correlated. Conclusions: Based on the study results, it is essential for nursing students to have accurate knowledge about HIV/AIDS and positive attitudes toward people with HIV/AIDS to ensure that they can provide high-quality and effective care for PLWHA as well as protect themselves from being infected with HIV.
