摘要

背景:虽然众所周知,渔民使用避孕套较少导致渔业社区艾滋病毒感染率高,但人们对渔民使用避孕套的态度、信念和行为知之甚少。设计和方法:本文是一项横断面研究的后续研究,该研究使用混合方法设计进行数据收集和分析,以检查加纳埃尔米纳渔业社区385名渔民的流动性与感染艾滋病毒风险之间的联系。在讨论中使用健康信念模型来分析埃尔米纳渔民对避孕套使用的态度和行动。结果:超过40%的受访者表示他们在前一年有过性行为,但没有使用安全套。结果表明,男性渔民在性行为中比女性渔民更有可能使用避孕套,年轻渔民比年长渔民更有可能使用避孕套。受过教育的渔民比没有受过教育的渔民使用更多的避孕套。根据这项研究,女性渔民比男性渔民使用避孕套更少,因为当她们拒绝使用避孕套时,她们无法说服伴侣使用避孕套。此外,调查结果显示,略多于十分之一的受访者不使用避孕套,因为他们认为自己的性伴侣很有吸引力,不太可能携带任何性感染。结论:调查结果显示,渔民对艾滋病易感性和严重程度的认知普遍较低,导致安全套使用率较低。这篇文章敦促研究地区的民间社会组织研究如何将向渔民和埃尔米纳沿岸众多捕鱼目的地提供免费避孕套纳入其中。在埃尔米纳和附近的捕鱼区,也应通过这种外展或流动艾滋病毒服务网点强调定期使用避孕套。

Factors affecting condom use among fishers in Elmina fishing community in Ghana.

Factors affecting condom use among fishers in Elmina fishing community in Ghana.

Factors affecting condom use among fishers in Elmina fishing community in Ghana.

Factors affecting condom use among fishers in Elmina fishing community in Ghana.

Background: Although it is well known that low condom usage among fishers contributes to high HIV prevalence in fishing communities, little is known about the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of fishers when it comes to the use of condoms.

Design and methods: This article is a follow-up to a cross-sectional study that used a mix-method design for data collection and analysis to examine the connection between mobility and the risk of contracting HIV among 385 fishers in the Elmina fishing community of Ghana. The Health Belief Model is utilized in the discussions to analyze attitudes and actions toward condom use among the fishers in Elmina.

Results: Over 40% of respondents who said they had intercourse in the previous year did not use condoms. The results show that male fishers are more likely than female fishers to use condoms during sexual activity, and younger fishers are more likely to use condoms than older fishers. More condoms were used by educated fishers than by less educated or uneducated fishers. According to the study, female fishers use less condoms than male fishers since they are unable to convince their partners to use them when they refuse to. Additionally, the findings show that slightly more than one in 10 respondents did not use condoms because they believed their sexual partner to be attractive and unlikely to carry any sexual infection.

Conclusion: There is a general low perception of HIV susceptibility and severity resulting in the low condom usage among the fisherfolks according to the results. The article urges civil society organizations in the study area to investigate ways to incorporate the provision of free condoms to fishers and at the numerous fishing destination sites along the coast of Elmina. The regular use of condoms in Elmina and the nearby fishing areas should also be emphasised through this outreach or mobile HIV service outlets.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
