Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify sources of HIV/AIDS information among maternity nurses in Alexandria and to examine how each source was evaluated by them in terms of frequency, usability and usefulness. A simple random sample of 150 maternity nurses of all levels working in 3 different organizations participated in the study. Two tools were used for data collection: the first tool was an anonymous questionnaire to elicit professional characteristics and the frequency of use of the identified sources. The second tool was a 3 point-likert scale to rate the sources of information according to 2 dimensions; usability and usefulness. A scoring system was developed and used to show the frequency, usability and usefulness of the sources. The results indicated that in-service training, professional colleague and academic study were among the highly evaluated sources in relation to usability and usefulness. While professional colleague and posters were the most frequently used sources, Recommendations and implications for future provision of HIVIAIDS information were discussed.
