愛滋病圖板展覽對愛滋病認知及態度改變之評估研究－－以高雄市中學生為例

An Evaluation of the Effects of AIDS Exhibition on the Change of AIDS-Related Knowledge and Attitude-- An Example of the High School Students in Kaohsiung City

本計劃是以自行發展之問卷評估校園愛滋病圖板展覽對學生愛滋病認知及感染者接受態度的影響。研究採靜態組比較設計法，以看過圖板之國高中生為實驗組，展覽學校內未曾看過圖板的學生為第一對照組，未曾展覽圖板學校學生為第二對照組，共計回收4374份有效問卷。在九個認知題目中，樣本平均答對題數為6.31 ±2.05題；是否有看過展覽對高中生的得分沒有影響，但在國中生中，有看過展覽的學生得分最高，第一對照組次之，第二對照組最低。樣本中可以接受與無法接受感染愛滋病的人做為同學的比率各有三成，其餘的四成表示不知道；對愛滋病有正確認識的學生比較能接受愛滋病患。本研究的結果支持圖板展覽可以增加對愛滋病的認知，同時也可以間接增加對愛滋病患的接受態度。

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of an AIDS exhibition on the AIDS-related knowledge and the acceptance of people with AIDS. In this study, 4374 students from 3 senior high schools and 6 junior high schools in Kaohsiung City were enrolled. Students who attended the exhibition were classified as experimental group and those who came from the same schools but did not attend the exhibition were classified as control group I. Students of the schools without the exhibition were classified as control group II. The average score of a 9-item knowledge test for the subjects was 6.31±2.05. Among the senior high school students, the experimental group and the control group scored the same. Among the junior high school students, the experimental group scored the highest and the control group I were the second. The control group II got the lowest average score. About 30% of the subjects could accept HIV-infected persons as their schoolmates and another 30% expressed the opposite opinion. The other 40% could not make their decisions. The only variable which significantly affected the subjects' decisions was their knowledge about AIDS. The results of this study support the values of AIDS exhibition in terms of promoting the AIDS-related knowledge directly and promoting the acceptance of AIDS-infected persons indirectly.
