Knowledge, attitudes and practices of condom use in a time of highly active antiretroviral therapy in a rural area in UgandaKabikira, Fredrick 11 1900 (has links)
Antiretroviral drugs were introduced into Uganda during the past decade and
have revolutionised the treatment of AIDS. However, in as much as success was
recorded, new challenges emerged. One such challenge was the continued use
of condoms. This study investigated existing knowledge, attitudes and practices
of condom use in a time of highly active antiretroviral therapy in a rural area. A
quantitative, cross sectional design, with probability sampling form the general
population was utilised. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect data
which was then analysed at the descriptive statistics level. The results indicated
that: knowledge of HIV, its transmission, condoms and antiretroviral drugs were
high among the respondents; condom acceptance and use were low; and
respondents would not intentionally engage in unprotected sexual intercourse
because of availability of ARVs. However it was acknowledged that some people
taking ARVs have engaged in risky sexual behaviours that would expose others
to infection. / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health)

An evaluation of the effectiveness of training in syndromic management of sexually transmitted diseasesNgesi, Lechina Buyisile 01 1900 (has links)
This study is about evaluating the effectiveness of training in syndromic management ofSTDs.
The purpose of this study was to fmd out to what extent the STD training programme had been
implemented.
A stratified sample of twenty-two primary health care clinics in the Port Shepstone region was
used. Twenty-two professional nurses rendering STD management in the clinics were observed.
Data-gathering was done through a clinic inventory obtained by interviewing the sister-incharge,
observation of professional nurses providing treatment to STD patients, interviews with
professional nurses to assess their knowledge of the syndromic approach, and exit interviews
with patients treated at the clinic.
The fmdings suggest that certain areas in the STD training need to be emphasized, such as
vaginal speculum and bi-manual examinations. It is recommended that certain negative aspects
which hinder effective STD management, like staff shortages and lack of equipment be given
attention. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Female condom acceptability among young women in BotswanaMokgetse, Moitlamo 11 1900 (has links)
Correct and consistent use of female condom is an effective strategy for the reduction of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS. The researcher used a non-experimental descriptive quantitative research design to explore the acceptability of female condom among young women aged between 15 and 34 years of age in Jwaneng Township, Botswana. Simple random sampling was used to recruit the respondents. Data were collected using self-administered structured questionnaires from women accessing health care services in the three health facilities in Jwaneng Township. Data were analysed using the SPSS statistical program version 23 for windows.
The findings show low utilisation of the female condom. The study highlights the significant challenges regarding availability, shape, material and lack of information about female condom in Jwaneng. Based on the study results, various strategies need to be developed, there might be a need to package health promotion differently for different age groups to effectively promote the female condom. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)

Knowledge, attitudes and risk behaviours of adolescent girls in relation with HIV/AIDS and condom use in Catholic schools in ManziniZanga Bitchong, Beatrice Virginie 04 July 2014 (has links)
descriptive correlational study aiming at describing the knowledge, attitude and risk behavior of adolescents in relation to HIV/AIDS in one “girls only” Catholic school of Manzini. Structured self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from 260 respondents aged 12 to 19 years.
Although only 22.31% respondents indicated been tested for HIV, (83.08%) would like to take an HIV test. Hospital and clinic are mostly known by respondents for providing HIV testing. Most respondents expressed lack of confidence in getting partners wear condoms. 16 (6.15%) have engaged in sex and 5 (6.10 %) were raped. No statistically significant difference was noted between condom use during sexual intercourse for both participants who were raped and those who consented to sex (P value = 0.6538). Future youth health programs should focus on building confidence of youth in accessing condom, discussing condom issues with their partners and make their partners wear condoms / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health)

Les croyances et les attitudes des adolescentes et des adolescents à l'égard des méthodes de contraception : une affaire de sexeProulx, Marie-Claude. 08 April 2021 (has links)
Cette étude vise à cerner, à l'aide de la théorie des rapports sociaux de sexe, les croyances et les attitudes des élèves du secondaire à l'égard de la contraception. De fait, 53 adolescentes et 32 adolescents âgés entre 15 et 18 ans sont répartis dans 11 sessions de focus groups non mixtes et homogènes et discutent du thème à l'étude. Ensuite, les jeunes sont invités à remplir individuellement un questionnaire où prennent place deux échelles d'attitude portant sur les méthodes de contraception (condom et anovulant) L'analyse qualitative de contenu des focus groups montre d'abord que les jeunes intègrent en partie les normes sociosexuelles liées aux rapports sociaux de sexe. Cette analyse suggère que les adolescentes et les adolescents présentent généralement des croyances similaires; certaines nuances sont cependant rapportées. Par la suite, les analyses quantitatives non-paramétriques montrent des convergences et des divergences entre les attitudes des filles et des garçons à l'égard du condom et des anovulants. Les résultats susmentionnés pourront alimenter les réflexions en vue de l'élaboration de mesures préventives visant une sexualité exempte de relations asymétriques entre les sexes et un partage équitable de la responsabilité à l'égard des pratiques contraceptives

Determinants of non-adherence to recommended preventative methods for sexual transmission of HIV among 15 - 24 year olds in Livingstone (Zambia)Mungunda, Sitwala 04 1900 (has links)
This qualitative study was done in Livingstone, Zambia, and used focus group discussions to investigate the reasons that youths aged 15 to 24 years see as justifying, or compelling, their non-use of recommended methods for prevention of sexual transmission of HIV. It focused on four methods, namely abstinence, condom use, voluntary counseling and testing, and mutual faithfulness.
The study found that non-adherence to HIV preventative methods is linked to variables in the process of adolescent growth and development, to contextual variables in society, to characteristics of products and services associated with these HIV preventative methods, and to disease characteristics of HIV itself. A key conclusion of this study is that to improve the effectiveness of HIV prevention programs among the youths it is essential that factors that hinder adherence to preventative methods are recognized and addressed. / Social Work / M.A.(Social Work)
