Few HIV prevention projects have specifically targeted Latina college students. These young women may be at risk for HIV infection because of developmental issues, normative behaviors, gender roles, and cultural beliefs that affect their sexual practices. The SENORITAS project (an acronym for Student Education Needed in Order to Reduce Infection and Transmission of AIDS/HIV and STIs [sexually transmitted infections]) is an innovative program designed for Latina college students at an urban Hispanic-serving institution in South Florida. The project has two major aims: (a) to provide age-appropriate, gender-specific, and culturally tailored HIV/STI prevention education for Latina college students through the use of a theoretically based, single-session peer education program: and (b) to improve the competence, comfort level, and skills of multiethnic nursing students as HIV prevention educators. This article discusses project development and design using the information-motivation-behavioral skill model for HIV prevention, describes implementation with peer educators, and concludes with progress to date and future directions.
很少有艾滋病预防项目专门针对拉丁裔大学生。由于发育问题、规范行为、性别角色以及影响其性行为的文化信仰,这些年轻女性可能面临感染艾滋病病毒的风险。“年轻女性项目”(英文全称为Student Education Needed in Order to Reduce Infection and Transmission of AIDS/HIV and STIs,意为减少艾滋病病毒/艾滋病和性传播感染的感染与传播所需的学生教育)是为南佛罗里达州一所城市中服务于西班牙裔群体的机构里的拉丁裔大学生设计的一个创新项目。该项目有两个主要目标:(a) 通过使用一个基于理论的单节次同伴教育项目,为拉丁裔大学生提供适合其年龄、针对性别且符合文化特点的艾滋病病毒/性传播感染预防教育;(b) 提高多民族护理专业学生作为艾滋病预防教育者的能力、舒适度和技能。本文运用艾滋病预防的信息-动机-行为技能模型讨论项目的开发与设计,描述与同伴教育者一起实施项目的情况,并以迄今取得的进展和未来方向作为结论。
