Book Synopsis The Impact of Relationship and Intrapersonal Factors on Condom Use Among College Students by : Sara K. Fehr

This book was released on 2015 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of two studies. Study one examined relationship factors' impact on condom use among college students. Study two examined perceived barriers and benefits of condom use among college students. Study One AbstractResearch indicates that a number of college students are at risk for HIV, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and unplanned pregnancy as a result of their sexual behaviors. Specific behaviors placing college students at risk include having sex with multiple partners, poor communication about safer sex practices with their sexual partners and not using condoms consistently and correctly when engaging in sexual activity. The purpose of this paper is to identify potential differences in safer sex practices and factors that influence condom use among college students. A four-page, 18-item survey was developed to determine participants' condom use and the impact of relationship status and other demographic factors on condom use. Analyses revealed that the number of lifetime vaginal sexual partners and participants' sex influenced condom use. There were no significant differences in relationship status, duration, trust, honesty and condom use. These findings should be considered with designing interventions to increase condom use among college students. Study Two AbstractDespite the efforts of health professionals, research indicates that a number of college students engage in high risk sexual behaviors including having sex with multiple partners, not discussing safer sex practices with their partners and not regularly using condoms when engaging in sexual activity. These behaviors increase the likelihood that individuals will contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD), HIV or have an unplanned pregnancy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify perceived barriers and perceived benefits to condom use among this population. A four-page, 18-item survey was developed to determine participants' condom use, barriers to condom use, benefits of condom use, and participants' basic knowledge of STDs and safer sex practices. Results indicated the leading barriers to condom use were using condoms reduce pleasure, knowing a partner's sexual history, and condoms limit intimacy. The leading benefits of condom use were condoms prevent pregnancy and STDs, and condoms give the user a feeling of safety. Analyses also determined that the number of vaginal, anal, and oral sexual partners significantly influenced the number of perceived barriers and participants' sex and number of vaginal, anal, and oral sexual partners influenced the number of perceived benefits to condom use. These findings may beneficial to those creating safer sex educational programs aimed at increasing rates of condom use among college students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: With the increasing number of reading and searching online for health information, understanding how consumers assess the credibility of information is crucial from both conceptual and practical standpoints. Conceptually, Internet technologies hold great promise for improving health knowledge and behavior. Despite these exciting claims, we still know very little about how interactive Web technologies influence perceptions of health information credibility. Meanwhile, previous research has suggested that readers' perceptions of credibility may be influenced by the information source (Metzger et al., 2003). This research combines the concept of source credibility and interactive feature cues to better understand how consumers process information and how these factors jointly affect the perceptions of online health information credibility, as well as the attitude consumers have toward Web site and Web site evaluation. To test the concept idea which discuss above, a 2 (high vs. low Web site interactivity) by 2 (government Web site and commercial Web site sources) factorial experimental design was employed. A total of 136 university students participated in the study. The results of the study indicated several important findings.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wellness Center at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) administers a Student Health Survey every two years to a sample of undergraduate students asking questions regarding their overall health. The survey was last administered in the Spring of 2018. The data from the Wellness Center survey showed a 15% decrease in regular condom use among men and a 14% decrease among women at SCSU from 2002 to 2018 (Custom Survey 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018). The existing data suggests exploring the reasons why students are not using condoms as often as previously documented. This cross-sectional research study examined the current sexual behaviors in SCSU students’ self-reported monogamous relationships by using secondary data from the SCSU Wellness Center’s Custom Survey. Specifically, this research aimed to answer two questions: (1) How does year of undergraduate matriculation correlate with condom use among students at SCSU? and (2) How does relationship status (i.e. being in a self-reported monogamous relationship) correlate with condom use among students at SCSU? For the Wellness Center Custom Survey, undergraduate classes were selected and invited to participate in the research through random sampling. Undergraduate students in classes that were selected by the Wellness Center were enrolled in 100-400 level courses at SCSU. A survey was completed by participants and frequencies and percentages were analyzed using cross tabulations and Chi Square analysis. This study found that year of study had a significant influence on condom use among a convenience sample of SCSU students. On the other hand, results indicate that monogamous relationships and gender have little influence on condom use among SCSU students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This descriptive correlational study was conducted to gain an understanding of how attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, self-efficacy, moral norms, role beliefs, perceived risk, and past condom use influenced condom use intentions among a group of 580 undergraduate students in Ghana. An extended version of the theory of planned behaviour guided the study. The results showed that students had moderate intentions to use condoms in their sexual encounters. Only 46% of all sexually active participants used condoms in their last sexual encounter. The extended version of the theory of planned behaviour explained 56% of the variance in the intention to use a condom during every sexual encounter among participants. In order of decreasing importance, perceived behavioural control, moral norms, attitudes, and past behaviour emerged as significant independent predictors of condom use intention. Implications for health promotion, theory, and research includes addressing the psychosocial factors associated with condom use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the influence of perceived source credibility on the effectiveness of health-related public service announcements (PSAs) and electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) communications. Findings indicate that online commenters who are perceived to be credible are instrumental in influencing consumers' responses to pro- vs. anti-vaccination online PSAs. Results further suggest that it is not the advertising message (i.e., the PSA advocated position) alone that influences consumers' responses (even when consumers perceive the PSA sponsor to be highly credible) but rather, the commenters' reactions to the claims presented in the PSA that also independently contribute to consumers' vaccination attitudes and behavioral intentions. Finally, results also show that when the relevant expertise of online commenters is identified, the effectiveness of the PSA's advertising message is moderated by the interactive effect of the online comments and their associated perceived credibility.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health disparities are prevalent among ethnic minorities, including immigrants in the United States. These disparities come in the form of low health insurance, low social economic status, ethnic discrimination, language and cultural barriers. As ethnic minorities, international students also suffer from numerous health problems that are associated with their lower social, economic and immigration status when they come to the United States. Health communication is an effective tool for increasing health literacy and for reducing health disparities. Applying the uses and gratification theory and the staged model of trust, the study was conducted among 120 American students and 135 international students to examine the extent to which access to health information, the type of information accessed, how they use it, and how they determine what trustworthy information is differed between the two groups. Key findings indicate that nutrition is the most common health topic accessed online by college students regardless of place of origin. Though both groups access online health information with the same motivation of information, they use online health information in different situations. Source credibility is the most important factor for college students in determining trustworthy health websites, and government websites and other health organization websites were found to be more trustworthy. The study also provides both theoretical and practical implications, which include consideration of ethnic backgrounds in disseminating health information through online channels and understanding the needs and motivation for people's access to health information and how they use it to be able to meet those needs. In designing health communication campaigns that target college students, the study proposes that the differences between native-born and international students need to be taken into consideration.
