The purpose of the study was to determine the professional and affective attitude of nursing staff towards patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).Methods: In the descriptive non-experimental quantitative research, the Slovene-translated questionnaire Scale of attitudes towards AIDS patients (Cronbach = 0.732) was used. 164 nursing employees from Slovenian health care institutions participated. Data collection was conducted using an online questionnaire from November 2020 to January 2021. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test. The level of statistical characteristics was taken into account (p < 0.05).Results: Nursing staff express a positive professional and affective attitude towards patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or those with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The findings show that a more positive attitude is expressed by men, employees with a higher education or a master's degree and employees with an employment period of 5 to 15 years. The differences in the ratios were not statistically significant for the mentioned variables (p > 0.05).Discussion and conclusion: From the results of the research we can conclude that nurses in Slovenia do not express a very positive or negative attitude towards people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and are willing to offer holistic health care. In the future, we would like to focus our research on measuring general knowledge about the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) among employees and to determine the impact of knowledge on employees' attitudes towards patientsUvod: Medicinske sestre predstavljajo rizični del prebivalstva, saj se neposredno srečujejo s telesnimi tekočinami pacientov, okuženih z virusom HIV ali obolelimi z AIDS-om. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kakšen je profesionalni in afektivni odnos zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi do pacientov, okuženih z virusom HIV ali obolelih z AIDS-om.Metode: V opisni neeksperimentalni kvantitativni raziskavi je bil uporabljen v slovenščino preveden vprašalnik Lestvica odnosa do obolelih z AIDS-om (Cronbach ? = 0,732). Sodelovalo je 164 zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi iz slovenskih zdravstvenih ustanov. Zbiranje podatkov je potekalo s spletnim vprašalnikom od novembra 2020 do januarja 2021. Podatki so bili analizirani z deskriptivno statistiko, Mann-Whitneyjevim U-testom in Kruskal-Wallisovim testom. Upoštevana je bila stopnja statistične značilnosti (p < 0,05).Rezultati: Zaposleni v zdravstveni negi izražajo pozitiven profesionalni in afektivni odnos do pacientov okuženih z virusom HIV ali obolelih z AIDS-om. Pozitivnejši odnos izražajo moški, zaposleni z visokošolsko izobrazbo ali magisterijem in zaposleni z delovno dobo od pet do petnajst let. Pri omenjenih spremenljivkah razlike v odnosih niso bile statistično značilne (p > 0,05).Diskusija in zaključek: Iz rezultatov raziskav povzemamo, da medicinske sestre v Sloveniji ne izražajo izrazito pozitivnega ali negativnega odnosa do oseb, okuženih z virusom HIV ali obolelih z AIDS-om, in so jim pripravljene nuditi holistično zdravstveno nego. V prihodnje bi si želeli raziskovanje osrediniti v merjenje splošnega znanja o HIV/AIDS-u med zaposlenimi in ugotoviti, koliko vpliva znanje na odnos zaposlenih do obolelihTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZbornica zdravstvene in babiške nege Slovenije - Zveza strokovnih društev medicinskih sester, babic in zdravstvenih tehnikov Slovenije
