Abstract	Este estudio tiene por Objetivo conocer las actitudes y conocimientos en torno al paciente VIH+/SIDA entre los profesionales de Enfermeria (diplomados y auxiliares) del Hospital General de Huelva. Metodologia: Estudio transversal descriptivo y analitico. Sujetos: Diplomados y auxiliares de Enfermeria en activo en el Hospital General de Huelva durante el periodo del estudio seleccionados mediante un muestreo aleatorio simple (N=980, n=88). Se aplico un cuestionario, validado, adaptado a nuestro medio y dirigido al personal de Enfermeria, recogiendo informacion de tres tipos en relacion al paciente VIH+/ SIDA: Caracteristicas personales y laborales, prueba de actitudes y prueba de conocimientos. Se cumplimento el analisis con la realizacion de dos entrevistas: Una dirigida al personal de Enfermeria que habia tenido accidentes con fluidos contaminantes procedentes de pacientes VIH+/SIDA, con el objeto de obtener informacion respecto a las repercusiones del accidente, y otra dirigida a los pacientes VIH+/SIDA donde se recogia informacion sobre la percepcion acerca de la actitud del personal de Enfermeria que les atiende. Resultados: En relacion a las actitudes y conocimientos sobre el paciente VIH+/SIDA se detecto, ademas de un gran miedo al contagio, deficiencias en cuanto a ciertos conocimientos especificos respecto a la infeccion. Conclusiones: El temor del personal sanitario a contraer el SIDA se relaciona con mayores grados de ansiedad y estres. Es necesario incrementar la disponibilidad de informacion, para ampliar conocimientos especificos y potenciar nuevas habilidades que permitan a los profesionales responder a las necesidades de los afectados. Abstract Objective: To know attitudes and knowledge of nursing personnel regarding HIV/AIDS patients in the Hospital General de Huelva. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Sample: Nursing staff of the Hospital General de Huelva (Registered nurses and Nursing auxiliar personnel) randomised selected (N=980, n=88). Selected subjects were asked to answer a validated questionnaire including questions about personal and professional characteristics, attitudes about HIV+/AIDS patients and knowledge about HIV infection. Additionally, 8 interviews were performed to Nursing staff who suffered occupational accidents with HIV contaminated fluids. Another 8 interviews were performed to HIV+/AIDS patients about the nurses attitudes when working with them. Results: Participating subjects were worried about the risk of infection. A low rate of knowledge about HIV infection was observed. Conclusion: A modification of some attitudes of Nursing staff is mandatory as well as an improvement of specific knowledge about HIV infection and measures to avoid the infection in a professional setting. Strategies to improve nurses abilities when working with HIV+/AIDS patients should be provided.
