title: Nursing effectiveness research and patient outcomes. A challenge for the second HIV/AIDS decade.
abstract: The need to focus on the nursing care of the acute and chronically ill HIV-infected person is made apparent by an examination of recent data on the prevalence of this disease. A nursing system framework of quality of care is proposed, which includes patient problems (inputs), nursing care activities (processes), and patient outcomes (outcomes). Examples from ongoing research are provided.
