Abstract [en]

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is still today a serious and incurable disease that requires continuous contact with healthcare and lifelong medication. If HIV is not treated, the disease will lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The biggest cause of stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS is the attitudes of healthcare professionals. More education is needed to improve care for people with HIV/AIDS.

Aim: To examine nurses' knowledge and stigma in the treatment of people with an HIV/AIDS diagnosis depending on working years in the profession.

Method: A quantitative questionnaire study was conducted at 11 selected health centers, emergency centers and emergency rooms. A total of 218 questionnaires were sent out and 110 of these were answered. The respondents were divided into two groups according to years worked in the profession, 0-10 years and more than 10 years.

Result: There was no significant difference among nurses in terms of knowledge and stigmain the treatment of people with HIV/AIDS correlated to years in profession.

Conclusion: More education about HIV/AIDS is needed among nurses to reduce stigma and improve care for these people. It also appears that the more knowledge nurses have about the disease, the less fear of caring for people with HIV/AIDS.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Humant immunbristvirus (HIV) är än idag en allvarlig och obotlig sjukdom som kräver kontinuerlig kontakt med sjukvården och livslång medicinering. Om HIV inte behandlas kommer sjukdomen att leda till aquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Den största orsaken till stigmatisering och diskriminering av personer som lever med HIV/AIDS är vårdpersonalens attityder. Mer utbildning krävs för att förbättra vården till personer med HIV/AIDS.

Syfte: Att undersöka sjuksköterskors kunskap och stigmatisering i bemötandet vid vård avpersoner med en HIV/AIDS diagnos beroende på arbetande år i yrket.

Metod: En kvantitativ enkätstudie utfördes på 11 utvalda vårdcentraler, jourcentraler och akutmottagningar. Totalt skickades 218 enkäter ut och 110 av dessa besvarades. Respondenterna delades in i två grupper efter arbetade år i yrket, 0-10 år och mer än 10 år.

Resultat: Det fanns ingen signifikant skillnad hos sjuksköterskor vad gäller kunskap och stigmatisering i bemötandet vid vård av personer med HIV/AIDS baserat på hur många arbetade år i yrket.

Konklusion: Mer utbildning om HIV/AIDS behövs hos sjuksköterskor för att minska stigmatisering och för att förbättra vården för dessa personer. Det framkommer också att ju mer kunskap sjuksköterskor har om sjukdomen minskar det även rädslan för att vårda personer med HIV/AIDS.
