Anticipated Outcomes of Accidental Occupational Exposure to HIV

Janice Bell Meisenhelder

MGH Institute of Health Professions

This descriptive study surveyed a random sample of 60 registered nurses (R.N.s) regarding their perceptions of nine possible consequences of an HIV infection resulting from occupational exposure. Areas of highest concern were financial: adequacy of workers' compensation and ability of the employer to cover all health care costs. Nurses were also concerned about confidentiality and ability to trace the event of the occupational exposure. These nurses felt the least threatened in the areas of maintaining their housing and the support of family and friends. Overall, the responses indicate a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the anticipated outcomes of an accidental occupationally derived infection. The results suggest clearer communication is needed between nurses and their employers regarding their benefits and existing support services.
