[Nursing care of patients with AIDS is a holistic nursing process].
Every nurse should be prepared to meet a person with HIV-infection. Nursing care of people with AIDS is a challenge because it is a holistic nursing process of a person. After diagnosing a HIV-infection a person will be in a crisis. If a nurse is familiar with the process of a crisis, he/she can better understand and support the person. With empathy, therapeutic attitude and by recognizing own reactions a nurse will be able to meet the needs of the patients. The nursing plan helps a nurse to plan, to see the problems, to implement and to evaluate the nursing process of the patient with AIDS. The aim of the nursing process is to react to the unique needs of the patient with the HIV-infection. To be able to grow as a human being and as a professional nurse, one needs education about HIV-infection and its specific areas. During discussions and consultations, nurses are able to share their feelings and reactions caused by HIV-infection.
