Sponsor's own description

In Chile, sexually transmitted infections (STI)s, including HIV / AIDS, are the main causes of morbidity in adolescents and young adults. The surveillance bulletin of the Institute of Public Health revealed an increase in cases of gonorrhea, over 200% in the last five years. HIV cases increased between 34% and 47% in this period as well. Unsafe sexual behaviors are among the most important risk factors for sexually transmitted infections (STI); it has been shown that educational / behavioral interventions can achieve success in behavioral changes, especially in young people. Some studies have evaluated the effectiveness of behavioral interventions to prevent sexual risk behavior of HIV and STIs with encouraging results. On the other hand, information and communication technologies (ICT) have been used in the prevention of STIs, HIV / AIDS. There is a considerable increase in the use of meta-universes or three-dimensional virtual worlds for educational purposes since 2006. No studies have yet been found that demonstrate the effectiveness of educational interventions carried out in meta-universes for the prevention of STIs in Chile. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention through the use of meta-universes, on self-efficacy in the use of condoms and safe sexual behavior, in university students. An open randomized, controlled trial will be conducted. Dependent variables will be measured before the intervention and 15 days after the end of the intervention in the experimental group in both groups. Students from first year to fourth year of different careers (except Nursing), currently in the Universidad Autonoma de Chile will be included after their informed consent. The psychoeducational intervention consists of three sessions in which techniques based on three of the four sources of self-efficacy described are applied. The intervention will be carried out every 24 hours with four participants in four computers and 3D lenses available in the computer labs of the University. The dependent variables will be: 1) the self-efficacy in the use of male condom, measured with the Scale Condom self-efficacy scale of Brafford and Beck and 2) safe sexual behavior measured with Safe Sex Behavior Questionnaire scale of Dilorio, Lehr, Adame and Carlone. Both scales were culturally adapted to Chile.
