Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Introduction: The World Health Organization reports a 21% prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in men, with rates reaching 93% among homosexual men. This group exhibits specific characteristics, such as high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to multiple partners and inconsistent condom use, along with limited knowledge about HPV. The intervention "Safe and Protected Sex", using a horizontal methodology, aims to address this health issue.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of the "Safe and Protected Sex" program on HPV knowledge among homosexual men.

Methodology: A quasi-experimental study with a test-retest design and convenience sampling. The sample size was calculated using n'Query Advisor 4.0, resulting in 20 homosexual men per group (n=40).

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The "Safe and Protected Sex" intervention program for HPV is based on Fisher and Fisher's (1993) IMB model, using social motivation to promote specific preventive actions. It raises cognitive awareness among homosexual men, enhancing their knowledge and understanding of the benefits of protective measures. The program links HPV prevention information to behavior change, incorporating key details on transmission through a horizontal methodology in nursing consultations. The teaching process builds on individuals' perceptions, knowledge, and past experiences. Through reflective learning in nursing consultations, participants make informed decisions, shaping their understanding. HPV knowledge is seen as an evolving process influenced by beliefs, attitudes, concerns, and misconceptions. The intervention fosters a dialogic awareness process, encouraging critical reflection and motivation for prevention, ultimately aiming to create a lasting impact on personal health behavios

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Safe and protected sex intervention group

This study used the "Safe and Protected Sex" intervention, adapted and validated from an HIV prevention program to focus on HPV. The intervention consists of a single module with two stages aimed at increasing HPV knowledge by enhancing personal (self-determination) and social (controlled behavior) motivation.

Module 1: "Nursing Consultation on HPV" This structured, planned process follows Corona and Kaltmeier's (2012) horizontal methodology, promoting self-care through social support and trust in nurse-patient dialogue. The goal is to provide counseling on HPV prevention and responsible sexual behavior while acknowledging participants' prior knowledge.

Stage 1: 4.21-minute educational video, "HPV Fun Facts," uses persuasive narrative to explain HPV transmission, symptoms, complications, and prevention.

Stage 2: 45-minute "Friendly Educational Guidance" session uses open-ended questions to explore participants' experiences, clarify misconceptions, and reinforce key information

Placebo control group

For the QA, the baseline measurement (test) was performed once the participant arrived at the sexual health clinic of the School of Nursing with the use of an electronic device that contained the first link of the QuestionPro® platform; subsequently, the participant was given information related to HPV through the usual methodology (diptych) (See Appendix H) that the health system in Mexico carries out. Finally, the second measurement was performed after reading the diptych with the use of the electronic device and the second link of the QuestionPro® platform, prior to the application of the intervention.
