The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among knowledge, attitudes, and perceived skills of 246 newly granduate nurse in 2001-2002 about the human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome at Department of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data, with a 91% response rate. The result indicated that the newly graduated nurse had a rather-high level of knowledge concerning HIV/AIDS, However, the knowledge level regarding pathophysiology and opportunistic infections was moderate, while the knowledge level regarding the treatment with antiretroviral drugs was low. Two-thirds of the samples agreed that people with HIV/AIDS can live with other in society, and disagreed that people with HIV/AIDS are bad persons. The negative attitude perceived by most newly graduated nurse was that people with HIV infection had low education. The newly graduated nurses knew the principle of universal precaution, but lacked the consistency of hand washing and wearing gloves during practicing in the clinic. The average number of patients with AIDS that the newly graduated nurses were assigned to care for was 2.35 throughout the 4-year curriculum. The analysis using Pearson's correlation coefficient showed significant relationships among newly graduated nurses' knowledge about HIV/AIDS, the attitudes toward people with HIV infection, and perceived skills for infection control (p‹.05).
