“…Most of the studied nurses agree that AIDS patients have the same right to quality of care and respect (Table 2). These results are in agreement with James et al, (2018) (35) who stated that .most participants reported a positive attitude toward people living with HIV. Also, the present study results are in agreement with Boakye, et al, (2019) (36) who study the determinants of knowledge, attitude, and practices of Ghanaian nurses towards persons living with HIV and AIDS in Kumasi and showed that the nurses have positive attitudes, with the majority showing greater agreement with positive statements, and more disagreement with negative statements about people living with HIV.…”

So they are expected to have the knowledge, accurate practices, and positive attitudes toward such patients who have no chance to cure. Aim: Evaluate effect of self-learning intervention on knowledge, attitudes and care provided among nurses caring for HIV\ AIDs patients in fever hospitals. Design: Quasi-experimental study research. Setting: Tanta and Alexandria fever hospitals. Subjects: 79 nurses who provide direct care to HIV/ AIDS patients in previous settings Tools: Tool I: HIV knowledge Questionnaire (HIVKQ 20) which was developed by Carey and Schroder (2002); Tool II: AIDS Attitude Scale which was developed by Forman et al, (1992); Tool III: Observation checklist to assess practice of nurses dealing with HIV/ AIDS patients. Results: 54.4% of the studied nurses had low Knowledge scores and this percentage decreased to 5.1% post-self-learning program. The percentage of the nurses who had positive attitudes increased from 3% to 27.8 % in post-self-learning. The majority (92.4%) of them had unsatisfactory practice in pre-self-learning and this decreased to only 17.7% postself-learning.

“…This study reveals that a significant portion of the respondents falls under the category of having low knowledge, while the majority hold moderate knowledge. This contrasts with other research, wherein 239 adolescents (42.5%) exhibited moderate knowledge, and 203 adolescents (36.1%) had high knowledge (James et al, 2022 ). Similarly, another study found that less than half of the adolescents (44.7%) demonstrated sound knowledge of HIV prevention, while 55.3% exhibited insufficient knowledge (Shamu et al, 2020 ).…”

Background: Social media has many positive and negative influences on individuals, especially for adolescents related to HIV. However, little is known about how social media impacts HIV-related outcomes among adolescents in boarding schools. Objective: This study aims to investigate the social media use, knowledge, attitudes, and sexual behavior at risk of HIV transmission and their relationship with the demographic characteristics of adolescent students at boarding schools. Methods: This study was school-based and used a cross-sectional design. The questionnaires were used to assess social network site usage, knowledge, attitudes, and risky behavior. Cluster random sampling involved students (n = 214) from three boarding schools in Cirebon City, West Java, Indonesia, in 2022. Chi-square tests and Cramer’s V were used to explore correlations between social and demographic factors. Results: A considerable number of adolescent students exhibited high social media addiction (58.4%), with the majority possessing limited knowledge of HIV transmission (54.7%). Additionally, nearly half displayed a negative attitude towards preventing HIV transmission (47.2%), while only a small fraction engaged in risky behavior (2.8%). Bivariate analysis revealed that social media use was moderately associated with the type of social media application (φc = 0.246, p <0.05). Knowledge of HIV transmission exhibited a moderate correlation with age (φc = 0.331, p <0.05), education level (φc = 0.240, p <0.001), and exposure to information (φc = 0.269, p <0.001). Similarly, attitudes toward HIV prevention demonstrated moderate associations with age (φc = 0.341, p = 0.001), education level (φc = 0.317, p <0.001), and exposure to information (φc = 0.266, p <0.001). Furthermore, risky sexual behavior exhibited a strong association with exposure to pornographic content (φc = 0.730, p <0.001). Conclusion: The study found a high prevalence of social media usage among adolescents, coupled with low knowledge about HIV, negative attitudes, and risky behavior. Significant relationships were observed between social media use, knowledge, attitudes, and risky sexual behavior related to HIV transmission and demographic characteristics. This study emphasizes the vital role of nurses and healthcare professionals in implementing targeted educational interventions in boarding schools to address gaps in HIV risk knowledge influenced by social media, ultimately improving strategies for adolescents’ sexual health.
