Nursing research priorities related to HIV/AIDS.
To determine the nursing research priorities related to HIV/AIDS, a two-round Delphi technique survey was conducted. Registered nurses in clinical, administrative, academic, and research nursing positions identified a total of 208 topics. The highest-ranked items were patient-centered and lower-ranked items were provider-centered. Subjects in clinical practice identified the nutritional aspects of AIDS care and hospice care as being of higher priority than did subjects in administrative, academic, and research positions. Complementary therapies and healthcare providers' fears were ranked as higher priorities by the administrative, academic, and research nurses than by the clinical practice subjects.
