Fear of AIDS and attrition among medical technologists.

R R Gauch, K B Feeney and J W Brown

Public Administration Institute, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Rutherford, NJ 07070.

Attitudes toward AIDS were measured by a survey of 212 attendees at the annual meeting of the New Jersey Society for Medical Technology. Twenty five percent of the respondents were considering leaving the profession because of a fear of AIDS. In addition, almost half would not have chosen the field knowing they would be handling HIV-positive samples. This high degree of concern may be an important factor contributing to the shortage of medical technologists.
