Scholarly Nursing Project: HIV/AIDS Awareness and Prevention Program

This project presentation focuses on an HIV/AIDS awareness initiative. It begins with an overview of the problem, including statistical data on HIV/AIDS prevalence, particularly among youth. The research rationale emphasizes the need for community awareness and early detection. The project's a...Read More

Background of the problem
 HIV AIDS can be defined as a disorder
that leads to suppressed immunological
response of the body (Lansky et al.,
2014)
 In accordance with the recent statistical
figures, it has been predicted that 1.1
million of the youth population in the U.S
are affected with AIDS (Hall et al., 2013)
 Studies reveal that there is an 8%
increase in the number of people
infected with AIDS each year (Johnson et
al., 2014)

Research Rationale:
 The alarming rate of increase in the
prevalence rate of HIV has emerged
out to be a major concern at the
national level
 The rationale for conducting the
research is to create awareness
among a community population so
as to encourage prior testing to
detect the infection

Aims and Objectives:
 The prime objectives of this research
would comprise of the following:
 To promote community level
awareness about AIDS within a
target community
 To popularise the concept of partner
notification so as to prevent the
transmission of infection
 To provide counselling to patients
with positive results

Expected Outcome:
 The expected outcome for the
research proposal would comprise of
the following:
 Imparting successful self-
management tactics to the positively
screened patients
 A 5% increase in the detection rate
of the infection within the initial
phase
 Popularising partner notification and
reducing the prevalence rate by 5%
Outcome 1
• Imparting successful self-management
strategies to positively screened patients
Outcome 2
• Increase detection of the infection at initial
phase by 5%
Outcome 3
• Popularising partner notification and reducing
the prevalence rate of HIV infection by 5%

Proposed timeline:
 The proposed time line for the
project is discussed below:
 Selection of research topic: 0-2
