Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social width of the disease knows no bounds: the media reported the infection of schoolgirls in Akwa Ibom State and the AIDS-death of a community leader in Plateau State in the month of January 1997 alone (Post Express 1997; Punch 1997). [...] Specific sub-problems to investigate include the level of knowledge of nurses on HIV/AIDS; their sources of information on HIV/AIDS; their attitude towards caring for HIV/AIDS patients; the relationships between the nurses' age, exposure to infected patients, years of nursing experience, and the nurses' The attitude of nurses to HIV/AIDS patients in Nigeria 529 attitude towards HIV/AIDS patients;. [...] Findings The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities which contribute to health, to recovery, or to peaceful death, that would be performed by the patient if the patient had the necessary strength, will or knowledge, and to do this in such a way as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible. [...] This is similar to Plant and Foster's (1993) study in which the overall pattern of response indicated that the highest level of concern was related to the perceived lack of in-service training, the availability of resources to treat infected patients, the issue of keeping The attitude of nurses to HIV/AIDS patients in Nigeria 535 up with current trends and developments, and the lack of experience. [...] The data on the relationship between the knowledge of HIV/AIDS and the nurses' attitude to HIV/AIDS was not significant.

This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe's "Black Death" contributed to the rise of nation states, mercantile economies, and even the Reformation. Will the AIDS epidemic have similar dramatic effects on the social and political landscape of the twenty-first century? This readable volume looks at the impact of AIDS since its emergence and suggests its effects in the next decade, when a million or more Americans will likely die of the disease. The Social Impact of AIDS in the United States addresses some of the most sensitive and controversial issues in the public debate over AIDS. This landmark book explores how AIDS has affected fundamental policies and practices in our major institutions, examining: How America's major religious organizations have dealt with sometimes conflicting values: the imperative of care for the sick versus traditional views of homosexuality and drug use. Hotly debated public health measures, such as HIV antibody testing and screening, tracing of sexual contacts, and quarantine. The potential risk of HIV infection to and from health care workers. How AIDS activists have brought about major change in the way new drugs are brought to the marketplace. The impact of AIDS on community-based organizations, from volunteers caring for individuals to the highly political ACT-UP organization. Coping with HIV infection in prisons. Two case studies shed light on HIV and the family relationship. One reports on some efforts to gain legal recognition for nonmarital relationships, and the other examines foster care programs for newborns with the HIV virus. A case study of New York City details how selected institutions interact to give what may be a picture of AIDS in the future. This clear and comprehensive presentation will be of interest to anyone concerned about AIDS and its impact on the country: health professionals, sociologists, psychologists, advocates for at-risk populations, and interested individuals.

Book Synopsis A Literature Review by : Sara Louise Boylin

Book excerpt: Title. A Literature Review to Explore Global Registered Nurses' Attitudes towards People living with HIV. Aim. The aim of the literature review was to identify the existing attitudes of global registered nurses' towards people living with HIV and the factors which contribute towards these. Methods. A systematic search carried out using four databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, BNI) to identify six papers. A manual search of the reference lists identified a further three papers. The final nine papers were then subject to critical appraisal using Woolliams et al, (2009) developed critical appraisal tool. Findings. The findings from the systematic review have identified a combination of positive and negative attitudes of global registered nurses' towards people living with HIV. The thematic analysis identified professional, practice and personal attributes to be the three main factors which affect nurses' attitudes. Conclusion. Nurses are in an excellent position to reduce stigma and discrimination towards HIV-positive patients through the practice of non-discriminatory and compassionate care. This study revealed that there were some negative practices towards people living with HIV as a result of a lack of knowledge, and organisational factors. It is crucial towards the management of the HIV epidemic that nurses and other health professionals are aware of these negative practices and how they can contribute towards HIV patients disengaging with health providers. It is of great importance that RNs around the world are provided with the appropriate education and training to meet the increased care demands of people living with HIV.

Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Pedagogy - Job Education, Occupational Training, Further Education, grade: 100, University of Central Florida (School of Nursing), language: English, abstract: HIV/AIDS is a very present pandemic and has claimed the lives of more than 35 million people worldwide. Persons living with HIV/AIDS often require health care during the course of their disease and in an array of healthcare settings. Nurses are often the frontrunners of patient care and it is essential that care is provided without bias, stigma or poor attitudes towards the patient. Although some countries offer HIV/AIDS education to student nurses, few have mandatory and standardized HIV/AIDS education. This review includes four studies that compare the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS education on stigmas and attitudes towards PLWHA. In consideration of the growing numbers of PLWHA, nursing students may benefit from generalized education to address attitudes and stigmas towards any patient, not just the PLWHA.

Book Synopsis Identifying and Exploring Alabama Nursing Students' Attitudes Toward Caring for People Living with HIV by : April Lambert Jennings
Download or read book Identifying and Exploring Alabama Nursing Students' Attitudes Toward Caring for People Living with HIV written by April Lambert Jennings and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study was to identify the attitudes of nursing students in Alabama toward people living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), and then further explore how specific attitudes impact students' willingness to care for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH). In addition, influence on attitudes based on differences in socio-demographic characteristics were investigated. Exploration into students' perceptions regarding how close others would view them if they were to care for PLWH, and students' perceptions of how their communities, religion, and nursing education have influenced their attitudes were also performed. A sequential mixed methods study examined the attitudes of senior level students (n=36) from one Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BSN) and three Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) programs. Students completed the HIV/AIDS Provider Stigma Inventory (HAPSI) using Awareness and Acceptance scales to identify sigma related tendencies, and a socio-demographic questionnaire via online survey. Findings were further explored using individual semi-structured telephone interviews with students (n=9) who completed the online survey. Descriptive statistics and themes suggest that nursing students in Alabama carry generally positive attitudes and a willingness to care for PLWH, and the attitudes of close others have no influence on their own attitudes or willingness to care for this population. However, underlying stigmas were found to be associated with lifestyle factors associated with HIV transmission. There were significant differences found between White and non-White nursing students on both Acceptance and overall HAPSI scale scores, indicating more stigmatizing tendencies toward PLWH among white students. There were differences in Awareness scores between male and female nursing students, with males scoring higher indicating more stigma related tendencies. Themes revealed through interviews suggest that nursing students have concerns about lacking HIV knowledge and experience in caring for PLWH. However, students revealed that education within their respective nursing programs had increased some HIV knowledge. Both nursing education and religious faith had influence on students' compassionate attitudes toward caring for PLWH, despite underlying stigma. Theory of Reasoned Action provided a frame work for understanding attitudes and willingness to care, and how these attitudes are influenced by students' behavioral beliefs and normative beliefs. Findings revealed in this study may assist nurse educators in developing curriculum which focuses on both psychosocial and physical aspects of caring for PLWH.
