Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a major disease leading to death. In our country, till December 2006, the ratio of male to female patients is decreasing that the incidence of females is increasing, especially in the reproductive age of 20-39 years old. Therefore, the possibility of vertical transmission may increase. To prevent this problem is an import issue. This study is designed to investigate the capability of nurses undergoing perinatal care for HIV-infected pregnant women. The questionnaire was answered by the nursing staffs. We compare the parameters between three AIDS-caring hospitals and three non-AIDS-caring hospitals. The results from 365 subjects revealed that the percentage of correct answers for caring knowledge (46%) was lower than that of caring skill (70%). In the caring knowledge, the score for the knowledge of routine care was highest, and the health monitoring, determination of delivery, and self care were in the decreasing order. In the caring skill, the score for management of infectious source was highest, and then equipment, management of usual articles, and assisted device were in the decreasing order. The differences were statistically significant between AIDS-caring hospitals and non-AIDS-caring hospitals. The caring knowledge was correlated to the caring skill. The results of this study would provide the health administration to promote the nursing care for HIV-infected pregnant women, including guidelines for care, standards for self protection, and education.
