 AB    The purpose of this quasiexperimental study was to examine the
       effectiveness of an experiential workshop on nursing students' anxiety
       and knowledge about AIDS. This study was based on Peplau's interpersonal
       theory in nursing practice. The sample included 67 senior nursing
       students and was designed as a three-group pre/post quasiexperiment. All
       groups received a pretest, posttest, and 6-week follow-up posttest. The
       experimental intervention was a 6-hour workshop that included anxiety
       awareness exercises in an experiential format and information about
       AIDS. Knowledge and anxiety scores were significantly higher for the
       group that attended the didactic portion of the workshop before the
       experiential portion. The control group showed no change in knowledge or
       anxiety. Results indicated that recognition of anxiety through
       experiential exercises contributed to learning about AIDS.
