“…This outcome provides novel findings in the topic of parental involvement in sports-based sexual health interventions in the DR, given that no reports investigating this topic are available. Nonetheless, the observed low internal consistency imposed by the SE STI/HIV scale [ 43 ] raises concerns about the scale’s reliability, and caution should be exercised in interpreting the findings. While the scale demonstrates promising content validity, future research should employ additional measures to establish stronger criterion-related and to construct validity of the self-efficacy assessments in the context of STI and HIV prevention.…”

“…Self-Efficacy to Prevent STI/HIV . The Self-Efficacy for STI’s and HIV Prevention Scale (SE STI/HIV), a 10-item scale in a Likert scale response format (1 = not sure at all to 5 = completely sure ), was administered to assess self-efficacy to practice STI and HIV prevention behaviors (i.e., abstinence, loyalty to one partner, proper condom use, avoidance of alcohol and drugs, and sexual health communication with others) [ 43 ]. Scores ranged from 10 to 50, and higher scores denoted better perceived capacity for STI and HIV preventive behaviors.…”

Background: Underprivileged youth in the Dominican Republic (DR) are at high risk of acquiring the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Protective parenting practices may inhibit sexual risk-taking. Objective: We investigated whether parental involvement in a sports-based HIV prevention program increased self-efficacy to prevent HIV and safe sex behavior among Dominican youth. Method: The study had a quasi-experimental design with repeated measures. N = 90 participants between 13 and 24 years of age participated in the program through two different trainings, UNICA and A Ganar, both of which had an experimental (i.e., program with parental component) and a control (i.e., program without parental component) condition. Results: Self-efficacy to prevent HIV significantly increased among participants in the experimental condition of UNICA. Self-efficacy for safe sex increased among sexually active participants in the experimental condition of A Ganar. Implications for Impact: These findings are important to meet the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal of good health and wellbeing, as they suggest that parental involvement in sports-based HIV prevention programs can enhance their positive effects for increasing youth’s self-efficacy to practice HIV-preventive behaviors. Randomized control trials and longitudinal studies are needed.

“…The Self-Efficacy for STI-HIV Scale (10 items; α = .69; Ferrer et al, 2006; Villegas et al, 2015) measured women’s perceived ability to practice STD and HIV prevention strategies. The responses were rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 ( not sure ) to 5 ( completely sure ), with items summed for a total score ranging from 10 to 50.…”

Objectives: Pre-and postmigration exposures to violence are significant social determinants of immigrant women's health, safety, and well-being, with Black immigrant women being at high risk because of many coming from conflict-zone countries. The existing literature does not report the development and testing of a multicomponent digital intervention to address safety and health issues among immigrant women with cumulative exposures to violence. This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluated preliminary efficacy of a multicomponent digital intervention (BSHAPE) to improve health and safety outcomes for immigrant women with cumulative violence exposures, posttraumatic stress disorder and/or depression symptoms, and human immune deficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors. Method: The intervention was developed based on formative qualitative work and input from women. In the randomized controlled trial, 144 Black immigrant women, average age being 33.6 years, were randomly assigned to either the BSHAPE arm (n = 72) or a control arm (n = 72). Data were collected at four time points over 12 months. A generalized estimating equation analysis was performed to examine group differences in change in outcomes over time. Results: Compared to the control arm, participants in BSHAPE showed significant improvement in multiple outcome measures (e.g., HIV/STI risk). Conclusion: This pilot trial of BSHAPE showed promising results for immigrant women with lifetime exposures to violence, poor mental health, and HIV risk. The study also provided useful information to further improve BSHAPE for a full-scale efficacy trial. The digital BSHAPE can be especially advantageous for violence-affected immigrant women who face numerous barriers to accessing in-person care for their safety and health needs. Public Significance StatementMany immigrant women in the United States have dealt with pre-and postmigration exposures to violence and stressors related to intersecting identities of race, ethnicity, gender, and social class, with negative impact on physical and mental health. However, they are unable to access in-person services due to numerous barriers related to family and work responsibilities, transportation, and geographical location. The BSHAPE, a strengths-based and empowerment-focused multicomponent digital intervention, has the potential to address impact of trauma on their lives, reduce stress, enhance coping skills, and provide information about key areas of women's health, resources for support and economic empowerment, as well as about immigration rights, while discussing safety options for those in current abusive relationships.

RESUMO Objetivo: agrupar e sintetizar os estudos que abordam o ensino das Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis Incuráveis para estudantes de graduação em enfermagem no mundo (1989-2020). Método: revisão de escopo conforme Instituto Joanna Briggs. Estratégia de busca realizada na PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science e LILACS. Dois revisores realizaram seleção e extração dos dados de forma independente. Resultados: após busca e remoção de duplicatas, 41 estudos estavam de acordo com os critérios estabelecidos e foram incluídos. A análise de conteúdo resultou em três categorias: Cenários e Estratégias de Ensino; Foco do Ensino; e Efetividade do Ensino. Considerações finais: as ações educativas tiveram efetividade no aumento do conhecimento, diminuição do estigma e ansiedade, e aumento da sensibilidade em promover o cuidado de enfermagem. O ensino dessa temática se mostra importante na atuação da profissão sobre os índices epidemiológicos e na formação dos estudantes de enfermagem para prevenção e promoção em saúde.
