2009년 11월 30일 보건복지가족부는 1985년 국내에서 공식적으로 에이즈 '1호' 환자로 확인된 박모씨가 24년이 지난 지금도 매우 건강한 상태라고 발표하였다. 치료를 받은 환자라면 HIV/AIDS 감염인도 대부분은 일반인과 마찬가지로 HIV/AIDS가 아니라 암, 심혈관 질환 등의 질병으로 사망한다는 것이다. 그러나 아직 국내에서 HIV/AIDS는 죽음의 병이라고 알려져 있으며, HIV/AIDS 감염인은 사회에서 '추방된' 느낌을 가지고 살아간다. HIV/AIDS에 대한 치료가 발전했음에도 불구하고 HIV/AIDS 감염인에 대한 국내의 연구는 아직 초보적인 상태이다. 이에 이 연구는 HIV/AIDS 감염임들의 관점에서 이들의 생존경험을 기술하였다. 이를 위해 현상학적인 방법을 이용하여 6명의 HIV/AIDS 감염인을 인터뷰하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. HIV/AIDS 감염인의 감염 이후 삶의 경험은 시간에 따라 상호 연관되어 나타난다. HIV/AIDS에 감염되었다는 사실을 통보받고 감염인들은 "하늘이 무너져 버릴 것 같은" 충격을 경험한다. 또한 HIV에 감염되었다는 사실의 강제적인 노출은 세상으로부터 강요된 단절과 소외를 안겨주고, 직장에서 내몰려 생계의 위협을 받게 하며, 이들은 죽을 날만을 혼자 외롭고 무기력하게 기다린다. 그러나 몇 몇 의료진과의 접촉은 이들에게 HIV/AIDS는 평범한 '관리의 질병' 이라는 인식을 갖게 하며, HIV/AIDS를 "알아가며 이해해 가는" 시간을 갖게 한다. HIV/AIDS 감염을 긍정적으로 수용함으로써, 이들은 현재의 '삶' 에 충실하게 살며, 삶의 새로운 의미를 만들어간다. 주위 사람들에게 HIV/AIDS 감염을 떳떳하게 말하지 못하는 '거짓된 삶' 이 아닌 "진실된 모습으로 거듭나기 위해" 이들은 주위사람들에게 HIV/AIDS 감염사실을 알린다. HIV/AIDS 감염 사실을 알리는 것은 "내가 나를 인정하고", "나 자신을 강하게 만드는 원동력" 이 되어 이전보다 더 성숙해진 자신을 발견할 수 있게 한다. HIV/AIDS와의 이러한 상생의 전제는 바로 병에 대한 인식의 변화이다. '더러운 병, 죽는 병' 이 아니라 '관리가능한 질병' 이라는 인식의 변화는 HIV/AIDS 감염인들이 새롭게 태어날 수 있는 토대가 된다. HIV/AIDS 감염 이후 새로운 삶에는 자기만이 아닌 다른 사람들이 있다. 이는 나에게로만 향하던 관심에서 타인에 대한 관심으로의 변화를 의미하며, HIV/AIDS와의 상생을 촉진했던 것은 가족과 친구들의 변함없는 지지였다.

목적: HIV/AIDS환자의 영적 안녕과 영적 요구 정도를 파악하여 간호실무 면에서 HIV/AIDS 환자의 영적 건강 사정과 영적 간호 중재 방안을 마련하는데 기초 자료를 제공하고자 본 연구를 시도하게 되었다. 방법: HIV/AIDS 환자의 영적 안녕과 영적 요구와의 관계를 파악하기 위한 관계성 조사연구(Correlation Survey Research)이며, 연구 대상은 20세에서 70세 사이의 HIV/ AIDS 환자 51명이다. 결과: 1. HIV/AIDS환자의 영적 안녕 점수는 평균 54.59점이었고, 영적 안녕의 하위 영역인 실존적 안녕은 27.78점, 종교적 안녕은 26.80점으로 모두 중 정도 이상으로 나타났다. 따라서 HIV/AIDS환자들은 자신의 영적인 안녕 상태에 대해 중 정도로 지각하고 있다고 볼 수 있으며, 종교적 안녕보다 실존적 안녕의 점수가 높게 나타났다. 2. HIV/AIDS환자의 영적 요구 점수는 평균 108.67점이고 영역별로는 사랑과 관심에 대한 요구가 37.80점, 의미와 목적을 갈망하는 요구가 42.35점, 용서받고 싶은 요구가 28.51점으로 의미와 목적을 갈망하는 요구, 사랑과 관심에 대한 요구, 용서받고 싶은 요구 순으로 높게 나타났다. 3. 영적 안녕과 영적 요구의 상관 관계에서 HIV/AIDS환자의 총 영적 안녕과 총 영적요구는 약한 순 상관관계를 나타냈다(r=0.344, P=0.013). 영적 안녕의 하위영역인 실존적 안녕과는 통계적으로 유의하지 않게 나타났으며, 종교적 안녕과는 순 상관관계를 보였다. 결론: HIV/AIDS환자의 영적 안녕과 영적 요구는 중 정도 수준 이상으로 나타났으며, 영적 안녕과 영적 요구간의 약한 순 상관관계를 나타냈다. HIV/AIDS환자들은 의미와 목적을 갈망하는 요구도가 높으므로 이에 대한 영적 간호를 제공하여 현재 위기 상태의 경험에서 삶의 의미와 목적을 찾도록 하여 실존적 영적 안녕 정도가 증진되도록 지지하고, 앞으로 대상자 수를 확대한 연구와 영적 안녕을 증진시키는 간호 중재에 대한 연구가 계속되어야 하리라고 사료된다.

Artificial neural network (ANN) is known to identify relationships even when some of the input data are very complex, ill-defined and ill-structured. One of the advantages in ANN is that it can discriminate the linearly inseparable data. This study presents an application of ANN to classify and predict the symptomatic status of HIV/AIDS patients. Even though ANN techniques have been applied to a variety of areas, this study has a substantial contribution to the HIV/AIDS care and prevention planning area. ANN model in classifying both the HIV and AIDS status of HIV/AIDS patients is developed and analyzed. The diagnostic accuracy of the ANN in classifying both the HIV status and AIDS status of HIV/AIDS status is evaluated. Several different ANN topologies are applied to AIDS Cost and Services Utilization Survey (ACSUS) datasets in order to demonstrate the model\`s capability. If ANN design models are different, it would be interesting to see what influence would have on classification of HIV/AIDS-related persons.

Purpose: To describe the knowledge and attitudes of nursing college students and non-nursing college students toward HIV/AIDS for use in the development of an effective HIV/AIDS education program. Method: The data were collected from 165 nursing college students and 92 non-nursing college students using a structured questionnaire, and then analyzed by $X^2$-test, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Compared to previous research, the score of some items of the knowledge and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS improved. However, the score of several items of the knowledge and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS needs further improvement. In both groups of college student, total attitudes toward HIV/AIDS were correlated with total knowledge of HIV/AIDS. Conclusion: Although some knowledge and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS improved comparing to previous research, a more specifically structured education program is needed. The development of a the program to increase the attitudes toward HIV/AIDS patients is critical.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships of attitudes, stigma, and moral sensitivity of nurses toward HIV/AIDS. Methods: The participants were 530 nurses working in general hospitals in South Korea. A structured questionnaire regarding attitudes, stigma toward HIV/AIDS, and moral sensitivity was used. The data were analyzed using t-tests, ANOVAs, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: Nurses' attitudes toward HIV/AIDS differed by job position; nurses' moral sensitivity toward HIV/AIDS differed by age, marital status, education level, clinical practice career, and job position; and nurses' stigma toward HIV/AIDS differed by age, clinical practice career, subjective economic status, HIV/AIDS education experience, and HIV/AIDS patient care experience. Attitudes of nurses toward HIV/AIDS were more negative when stigma toward HIV/AIDS was higher (r=-0.58, p<.001), these attitudes were not correlated with moral sensitivity. Conclusions: The attitudes of nurses toward HIV/AIDS were more negative when stigma toward HIV was higher, and these attitudes were not correlated with moral sensitivity. Therefore, nurses should be provided education that takes their age, marital status, clinical practice career, and experiences in HIV-related education and caregiving into account.

Objectives: This study aims to identify gaps between knowledge regarding migration and the spread of HIV/AIDS, to improve understanding of migrants with HIV/AIDS and their human rights, and to make suggestions for Korean policy makers to reform laws and policies towards granting migrants with HIV/AIDS more human rights and access to treatment and care. Methods: This study is based on an extensive literature review, questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews from randomly selected 8 countries from 5 different continents: Japan from Asia; Australia from Oceania; Finland, Germany, Ireland and United Kingdom(UK) from Europe; and Canada and United States of America(USA) in North America. Results: This study has found that Korea has a discriminating policy regarding HIV/AIDS and foreigners. Classifying HIV/AIDS into a legal communicable disease, it requires a presentation of HIV/AIDS test results from foreigners wanting a long-term stay before entering. In principle, foreigners with HIV/AIDS cannot either enter or stay in Korea. If they are known infected with HIV/AIDS by any reason, they became to face an immediate deportation regardless of their sojourn statuses and purposes. Conclusion: With the results, this study suggests three reasons why Korean government needs to change the current HIV/AIDS policy on foreigners: 1) HIV-related travel restrictions have no public health justification, 2) its strict HIV/AIDS policy on foreigners could result in restriction on the mobility and migration of its people by the other countries, inversely, and 3) it needs to meet international guidelines and to observe conventions that international organizations suggest to maintain its status as a member of the international society.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes (discrimination towards HIV/AIDS and lives with HIV infected persons) and HIV/AIDS related sexual behaviors among middle school and high school students in Seoul, Korea. Methods: The population of this study was junior and senior high school students in Seoul, Korea. Eight junior high schools and eight senior high schools were randomly selected from Seoul City. Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-six responses from the sixteen schools were analyzed (fifty-nine were excluded). A self-administered questionnaire measuring socio-demographic variables, knowledge of HIV/AIDS, as well as discriminatory attitudes of HIV/AIDS was utilized. Results: The level of HIV/AIDS knowledge was low and the levels of discriminatory attitudes were high. The results indicated that students had considerable misconceptions about HIV transmission as well as stigmatizing attitudes towards HIV-infected people and their lives. The proportions of sexual intercourse were 1.3 % for middle school students and 7.7% for high school students. Only 30.7% of current sexually active subjects were to use condoms at the last step of sexual intercourse. The HIV/AIDS related risk-taking behavior were predicted by gender, school types, parents' marital status, reported academic performances, and attitudes towards to homosexuals. Conclusions: It is important to design HIV prevention strategies that improve in the knowledge of HIV transmission for adolescents in Korea.
