Effectiveness of the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Education Programme for Adolescents
Öz
Aim: This study was designed as a pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental type in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the training programme to increase the level of knowledge and awareness of nursing students about sexually transmitted diseases.
Method: The study was conducted on 245 students aged between 17-21 years studying in the nursing department of the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university. Data were collected using the Socio-Demographic Information Collection Form and the Knowledge Test on Sexually Transmitted Diseases prepared by the researchers by reviewing the literature. A pre-test consisting of the Socio-Demographic Information Form and the Knowledge Test on Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs Knowledge Test) was administered to students aged 17-21 years studying at the university. Then, students were given a 3-hour training on sexually transmitted diseases. After 1 month, the data collection phase was completed by applying the post-test to the students again in order to find out whether the training we gave was effective or not.
Results: While the mean STDs knowledge score of the students before the training was 13.76±0.24, it was found that the mean knowledge score increased to 17.22±0.13 after the training and there was a significant difference between them (p< .05). Before the training, students gave the highest correct answer to the question that there are things we can do to reduce the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, while they gave the highest incorrect answer to the question that people who prefer sexual abstinence do not get sexually transmitted diseases for sure.
Conclusion: The knowledge levels of the students who received expert training on STDs after the training were higher than before the training. It was found that providing expert training is an effective method to increase students' knowledge levels and awareness of STDs.
