本文报道了一份邮寄问卷，调查了区护士对HIV阳性患者的工作。每名护士都被要求提供有关她们与艾滋病毒阳性患者的接触情况以及他们在艾滋病毒/艾滋病护理方面接受的培训水平。为这些病人开展的护理活动的性质以及护士对能够提供高标准护理的信心程度已经确定。在护士表示不完全自信的情况下，他们被要求指出哪些因素使他们的反应具有先天因素。对101名区护士进行问卷调查。平均而言，在研究前两周，每名护士对艾滋病毒感染患者进行了1.25次探视。为这些病人进行的护理活动最常见的是提供咨询/咨询、护理员支持、一般护理和专科治疗。最不常开展的活动是技术程序、测试和评估。护士最有信心提供与普通护理相关的高标准，而最不相信在提供专科治疗方面达到高标准。区护士对实现高标准缺乏信心的最常见解释是缺乏专科培训和缺乏与艾滋病毒感染者打交道的经验。
This paper reports on a postal questionnaire survey of district nurses' work with HIV positive patients. Each nurse was asked to provide information about their contact with HIV positive patients and the level of training they had received in HIV/AIDS care. The nature of nursing activities carried out for these patients was established along with levels of confidence the nurses had in being able to provide a high standard of care. Where the nurses indicated less than full confidence they were asked to indicate what factors predisposed their response. Questionnaires were completed by 101 district nurses. On average, each nurse made 1.25 visits to HIV-infected patients in the two weeks preceding the study. The nursing activities most commonly carried out for these patients were providing advice/counselling, carer support, general nursing care and specialist treatments. The activities least commonly carried out were technical procedures, tests and assessments. Nurses were most confident in providing a high standard in relation to general nursing care and least confident that high standards were being achieved in providing specialist treatments. The most frequently encountered explanations offered by the district nurses for their lack of confidence in achieving a high standard were a lack of specialist training and a lack of experience with HIV-infected patients.
