Commentary on: Cook C. 'Nice girls don't': women and the condom conundrum. J Clin Nurs 2012;21:535-43. Implications for practice and research▪ Sexual health counselling should extend beyond basic educational information to address contextual factors women face in partner relationships.▪ Because nursing practice centres on the patientclinician relationship, feminist post-structuralist designs are effective at addressing power dynamics faced by vulnerable populations, further fostering communication between women and clinicians and improving women's sexual health. ContextThe study highlights experiences of high-risk women in communicating condom use with their partners and discussing with healthcare providers the impact of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) on their intimate relationships. Clinicians' views on the effective sexual health communication with their female patients were also examined. The study focused on women diagnosed with genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) and human papilloma virus (HPV). Global estimates of HSV in people aged 15-49 is 536 million worldwide and women are disproportionately infected (315 million vs 221 million in men). 1 In addition, the prevalence of HPV in women worldwide has been estimated to be as high as 11.4%. 2 MethodsThe sample included 26 women with HSV or HPV and 12 clinicians with experience in sexual/gynaecological health. The study was based in New Zealand, but international in scope, as the sample included participants from New Zealand, the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia. Data were collected via email interviews with repeated correspondence. Thematic analyses revealed major themes related to condom use, feminine sexuality and societal norms. FindingsMost women did not discuss safer sex with their partners before STI diagnosis and of these, most found it

“…Pressure from a man to have sex without condoms has been identified as contributing to heterosexual women’s sexual decisions (4). Consistent with this, men have reported that exerting verbal pressure to forgo condoms is acceptable and normative; and that they have done so in the past and intend to do so in the future (5,6).…”

Partner Pressure, Victimization History, and Alcohol: Women’s Condom-Decision Abdication Mediated by Mood and Anticipated Negative Partner Reaction

et al. 2015

Highly intoxicated versus sober women were evaluated using multi-group path analyses to test the hypothesis that sexual victimization history would interact with partner pressure to forgo condom use, resulting in greater condom-decision abdication – letting the man decide whether or not to use a condom. After beverage administration, community women (n=408) projected themselves into a scenario depicting a male partner exerting high or low pressure for unprotected sex. Mood, anticipated negative reactions from the partner, and condom-decision abdication were assessed. In both control and alcohol models, high pressure increased anticipated negative partner reaction, and positive mood was associated with increased abdication. In the alcohol model, victimization predicted abdication via anticipated negative partner reaction, and pressure decreased positive mood and abdication. In the control model, under high pressure, victimization history severity was positively associated with abdication. Findings implicate condom-decision abdication as an important construct in understanding how women’s sexual victimization histories may exert sustained impact on sexual interactions.

“…37 También se ha reportado que en mujeres de 19 y 25 años las actitudes positivas hacia el uso del condón y la negociación para su empleo son los mejores predictores de la utilización de ese anticonceptivo. 38 Adicionalmente, el presente estudio encontró una asociación entre la baja autoeficacia respecto al uso y la negociación del condón y tener necesidades insatisfechas en el tema de la anticoncepción. Asimismo, existen otras circunstancias asociadas al no uso de anticonceptivos durante las relaciones sexuales.…”
