| Abstract: | ![]()
The purpose of this study was to explore hospital employed health professionals' attitudes to AIDS and homosexuals. Questionnaires were distributed to all health professionals in a 250-bed paediatric teaching hospital in Perth, Western Australia. The results constitute a database for nurses involved in staff development and AIDS education. The findings indicate that such programs must deal with the personal domain of attitudes to AIDS and homosexuals as much as with factual information. Furthermore, meaningful differences between target groups must be accommodated within the design of the program. |
