Introduction: Some health care providers may be reluctant to care for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The inclusion of educational opportunities for students to advance knowledge of HIV transmission risks, while decreasing stigma, is important, and many health care providers have not participated in these types of activities, which could promote learning and the practice of unbiased care.
Methods: This quantitative study aimed to determine if a comprehensive supplemental educational intervention might produce a significant increase in student knowledge regarding HIV transmission and prevention while also producing a significant difference in the attitudes, perceived discrimination, and equity for people living with HIV (PLWH). Two validated instruments were used to gather data from Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students at an academic medical center.
Results: Eighteen questions measured HIV knowledge and each counted one point. The mean pre-test and post-test was 13.83 and 17.37, respectively. The mean difference was 3.54. The resulting p-value from the paired t-test was less than 0.001, which shows a highly significant improvement. Additionally, student responses on four questions regarding attitudes, discrimination, and health and social equity resulted in a significant difference, which suggested that students’ level of empathy for PLWH increased.
Conclusion: The information presented in the comprehensive educational format and inclusion of PLWH in this activity is effective and would be beneficial for all healthcare professionals.
