  • Title: AIDS-phobia, contact with AIDS, and AIDS-related job stress in hospital workers.
    Author: Pleck JH, O'Donnell L, O'Donnell C, Snarey J.
    Journal: J Homosex; 1988; 15(3-4):41-54. PubMed ID: 3235829.
    Abstract:
    In a survey of 237 hospital workers involved in the care of AIDS patients at a major AIDS inpatient-care facility, negative attitudes toward AIDS and AIDS patients (AIDS-phobia) and AIDS-related job stress (AIDS-stress) were common. In multivariate analyses, AIDS-phobia is significantly higher among older staff, those having low contact with AIDS patients (AIDS-contact), and those holding homophobic attitudes. AIDS-phobic attitudes and low AIDS-contact can be interpreted as predicting each other. Finally, AIDS-stress is predicted by low contact with AIDS and AIDS-phobic attitudes.
