Factors Related to the Willingness of Nurses to Care for AIDS Patient in Taiwan

以自行設計及並經評估的問卷，對 258 位不記名的護理人員作照護愛滋病病人意願的相關因素調查，他們由三家綜合醫院，隨機抽樣而來，並包括曾經照顧過愛滋病病人的護理人員，結果顯示：46.1％的人回答願蕙照顧愛滋病病人，但90％以上須有條件，在回答不願意照顧者有53.9 %，其中約有一半回答，如給予強制性去照顧愛滋病病人，他們寧願辭職。對愛滋病病人態度正向者，有較高的愛滋病知識，尤其是護理工作場所的危險與保護的知識（P = 0.0031) ，而如果態度正向者，則較趨向願慧照護愛滋病病人，有獨立相關（OR=4.4 ; 95%Cl .2-6.1)，年齡、執業年數、婚姻狀況、宗教信仰、教育程度、工作職位及是否曾經照顧愛滋病病人等無相關。在護理人員繼續教育或在職訓練時，加強愛滋病有關護理工作場所的危險與保護的知識是必須的，因為與專家雙向溝通是更有

Nurses’ willingness to provide care for AIDS patients was studied using a self-developed and evaluated anonymous questionnaire given to 258 nurses (a response rate 91.9%). The subjects were randomly sampled from three general hospitals in Taiwan and consisted of both nurses who have experienced providing care for AIDS patients and nurses who have not had the experience of caring for AIDS patients. As a result, 46.1% (119/258) of the nurses responded that they would accept caring for AIDS patient but 93.3% of them asked for extra pay as a condition. Among the 139 nurses who would refuse to care for AIDS patients, 48.2% of them would quit their jobs if giving such care was compulsory. The scores on knowledge of workplace risk and protection was higher among positive attitude nurses (p0.0031). The odds ratio (OR) estimation was elevated in those whose attitudes were positive (0R=4.4; 95% CI 3.2-6.l) as compared to those whose attitudes were negative about willingness to care for AIDS patients. But no relationships were found in age, educational levels, years of practice, marital status, religious beliefs, position status, and experience in providing care for AIDS patients with a willingness to care for AIDS patient. We suggest that if nurses have a better knowledge of workplace risk and protection regarding AIDS, then they have a more positive attitude and a greater willingness to care for AIDS patients.
