Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to assess Nigerian physiotherapy students’ knowledge and their affective traits in caring for patients living with AIDS (PWA).Methods: Nigerian students (N=104) in four training programs were surveyed using a 43-item questionnaire that elicited information on the students’ demographics characteristics, knowledge levels on AIDS transmission, universal precaution and pathophysiology, their feeling of preparedness, comfort, ethical disposition for PWA and their willingness to evaluate and provide care to PWA in different clinical scenarios.Results: Overall the students showed unsatisfactory know ledge of universal precaution and AIDS pathophysiology and did not feel comfortable or prepared to care for PWA. The students did not also show satisfactory ethical disposition and may be unwilling to care for PWA. The students’ knowledge levels on AIDS transmission and willingness were influenced by religious affiliation while feeling of comfort and ethical disposition were influenced by gender and knowing someone living with AIDS. They were more unwilling to provide whirlpool wound care procedures and chest physiotherapy compared to providing gait training, therapeutic exercise and activities of daily living training for PWA.Conclusion: The study identified the need to improve the curriculum on AIDS and recommends clinical clerkship and a methodical and sequential exposure of students to cases during clinical rotations.
