As we move further into the 21st century, there are increasing numbers of teenagers and young adults infected with sexually transmitted diseases and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Aside from sexual abstinence, condom use is the best way to protect oneself from sexually transmitted diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Participants in this study were predominantly female, predominantly Caucasian psychology students who experienced sexual intercourse with an opposite sex partner in the past year. Slightly fewer than half of these participants reported condom use at their last episode of vaginal intercourse and type of partner did not affect their condom use, nor did concern about human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and sexually transmitted diseases. Findings such as these challenge advanced practice nurses to generate innovative strategies to promote condom use in all types of relationships. We propose that teaching about the link between cervical cancer and lack of condom use could be one of these new strategies.
随着我们进一步迈入21世纪,感染性传播疾病和获得性免疫缺陷综合征的青少年及年轻成年人数量不断增加。除了性禁欲外,使用避孕套是保护自己免受性传播疾病(包括人类免疫缺陷病毒/获得性免疫缺陷综合征)感染的最佳方法。本研究的参与者主要是女性,主要是白人心理学专业学生,她们在过去一年中与异性伴侣发生过性行为。略少于一半的参与者报告在最近一次阴道性交时使用了避孕套,伴侣类型并未影响她们使用避孕套,对人类免疫缺陷病毒/获得性免疫缺陷综合征和性传播疾病的担忧也未产生影响。诸如此类的研究结果促使高级执业护士制定创新策略,以促进在各种关系中使用避孕套。我们建议,讲授宫颈癌与不使用避孕套之间的联系可能是这些新策略之一。
