Sexual risk taking behaviors of women at risk for HIVKornhauzer, C. Monika (Cvetka Monika) January 1994 (has links)
The number of women infected with the HIV virus through heterosexual contact is on the rise and expected to increase steadily throughout the 1990's. In order to prevent the further spread of HIV infection and AIDS, behavior change is essential. The focus of this study is on the sexual behaviors, safe sex practices, and the role that self-efficacy and self-assertiveness play in a woman's ability to put into effect preventative behaviors. The study sample consists of 40 heterosexual, English-speaking women from the Montreal area. The results indicate that just under half of this population are using condoms as a safe sex precaution, but they are being used inconsistently. Those participants who reported sometimes using condoms were also the same participants who more frequently reported modifying other aspects of their sexual behavior in order to reduce their risk of infection, as compared to those participants who did not report using condoms. It was also found that the participants' past sexual history, knowledge about HIV transmission, and awareness of risky sexual practices do not predict more cautious sexual behavior. One major factor which did seem to influence modification of risky sexual behaviors was the participants' perception of being at risk for HIV. The majority of the participants did not have difficulty in asserting their desire for safe sex. Their methods, however, in how they would choose to practise safe sex were dependent on the seriousness of the relationship, ability to trust their partner, and their current method of practising safe sex in their own sexual lives.

Knowledge of safe sex practices and HIV transmission, propensity for risk taking, and alcohol/drug use in the aetiology of unprotected sexSimpson, Malcolm Robert January 1997 (has links)
Second year psychology students (N=176) from Rhodes University were surveyed using an anonymous questionnaire to obtain information on sexual behaviour and knowledge of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) among young people. The following information was obtained: Knowledge of safe sex practices and HIV transmission was high although a number of misconceptions were noted. Only fifty six percent of students viewed oral sex with a condom as safe and thirty one percent do not consider mutual masturbation with a condom safe. Thirteen percent and twenty five percent respectively identified insects and saliva as being routes of HIV transmission. Magazines (96%), informal discussions with friends (95%), public pamphlets (86%) and public television (79%) were preferred sources of information. The students' knowledge did not appear to significantly affect sexual behaviour. Eighty percent of respondents were intimately involved with another person during the past twelve months, and only fifteen percent always made use of a latex barrier when being sexually intimate. Despite high rates of alcohol and/or drug consumption (80% of students use such substances), and the belief by the majority of respondents that alcohol and/or drugs facilitate higher risk behaviours, no support for the alcohol/risky sex hypothesis was found. Students were found to score highly on proneness to psychological and behavioural risk taking, and no significant relationship between this and unprotected sex was found. It can be concluded that educational programmes need to focus on what constitutes safe sexual practices in order to equip young adults with the knowledge they need to make informed choices regarding the relative risks of various sexual activities.

KNOWLEDGE AND USE OF FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES BY EXTENDED FOSTER CARE CLIENTSDiaz, Ashley M, Chronister, Melodie Anne 01 June 2015 (has links)
There has been extensive, mostly negative research on the outcomes of foster care youth. Due to the abundance of this research, Extended Foster Care (EFC) was created to help to provide additional resources and support to young adults in foster care until age 21. This is a fairly new program, therefore little research has been completed. One of the negative outcomes of foster youth is the high pregnancy and parenting rates. The purpose of this study is to be able to understand the knowledge and use of family planning services among the young adults participating in EFC. Understanding this information will help to improve services provided by the social workers who work with this population. This research used a quantitative questionnaire. The questionnaire was mailed to the young adults participating in EFC in San Bernardino County. A statistical analysis was completed using SPSS version 21. The study’s findings showed that on average, EFC participants have a good understanding of safe-sex practices but do not usually use safe-sex methods or go to family planning service organizations. The study also found that participant demographics do not have a correlation to their knowledge or use of family planning services, nor to the number of pregnancies or live births. However, there is a negative correlation between a participant's knowledge score and if they have children in their custody. Finally, 47% of participants reported being informed about family planning service organizations by their Social Worker.

The perceptions of HIV negative pregnant women towards HIV preventative sexual behaviour in one of the regional hospitals in Durban.Msebeni, Sibongile. January 2005 (has links)
The aim of the study was to explore the perceptions of the HIV negative pregnant women, after their hiv negative results, towards preventive sexual behaviour. Methodology: A qualitative approach was used in exploring the perceptions of hiv negative pregnant women and describing their behaviour according to the findings. Fifteen participants were interviewed. Two semi - structured interviews were conducted with each participant, an initial interview and a verifying interview, for the purpose of saturation and verification. Each interview lasted for 20 - 30 minutes. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. Manual data analysis was used to identify categories and themes. Findings: The study revealed that the participants knew what the negative status entailed. They were also aware that there is a chance of hiv negative person being infected by hiv virus if they do not engage in preventive sexual behaviour. Furthermore, they had also disclosed their hiv negative status to their partners and most of the partners refused to go for testing. Though the participants believed that it was necessary to use condoms even if they were hiv negative, most of them had not use condoms during their last sexual intercourse. Reasons for not engaging in preventive sexual behaviour were revealed by the study. Recommendations were suggested for clinical practice, nursing education, management and research. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2005.
