The data were collected in the software SPSS ver. 18, analyzed by χ2, spearman rank correlation, t-test and ANOVA.
Result
Forty (62.5%) participants were women. Fifty participants (78.1%) were highly aware of the AIDS. Significantly, men had higher awareness than the women (P= 0.01) that they were Learning from schools and textbooks. Moreover, more than a half of the participants had a positive attitude towards the suggested solutions and nursing students had a significantly higher attitude (p=0.04). In performance, 45.3% had appropriate performance in terms of transition of the AIDS.
