The purpose of this study was to assess the association between safe sex self-efficacy and safe-sex practice in a Southern college setting. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the association between safe sex self-efficacy in four domains (mechanics, partner disapproval, assertiveness, intoxicants) and safe sex practice (outcome variable). For every 1-unit increase in the composite condom use self-efficacy score, there was an 8% increase in the odds of being beyond the median safe-sex practice score (odds ration [OR]: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.02-1.15). Additionally, for every 1-unit increase in intoxicants self-efficacy score, there was a 31% increase in the odds of being beyond the median safe-sex practice score (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.08-1.58). A greater degree of safe-sex self-efficacy is associated with increased odds of safe-sex practice. These findings are informative for the development of targeted approaches to foster safe-sex behavior in Southern US colleges.
本研究的目的是评估美国南部某大学环境下安全性行为自我效能感与安全性行为实践之间的关联。采用多变量逻辑回归模型来检验四个领域(技巧、伴侣反对、自信、醉酒)的安全性行为自我效能感与安全性行为实践(结果变量)之间的关联。复合避孕套使用自我效能感得分每增加1个单位,高于安全性行为实践得分中位数的几率就增加8%(优势比[OR]:1.08,95%置信区间:1.02 - 1.15)。此外,醉酒自我效能感得分每增加1个单位,高于安全性行为实践得分中位数的几率就增加31%(OR:1.31,95%置信区间:1.08 - 1.58)。更高程度的安全性行为自我效能感与安全性行为实践几率的增加相关。这些发现为制定有针对性的方法以促进美国南部大学的安全性行为提供了参考信息。
