HIV-Related Stigma Among Nursing Students in Cameroon

Abstract

This article discusses a cross-sectional pilot study that aimed to explore Cameroonian nursing students perceptions of HIV-related stigma within the context of two factors - stigma perpetuated by nurses and stigma experienced by nurses. The secondary purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the HIV/AIDS Stigma Instrument - Nursing Students (HASI-NS) compared to the original psychometric properties of the HIV/AIDS Stigma Instrument - Nursing (HASI-N).
