An Interactive Multimedia Program to Prevent HIV Transmission in Men With Intellectual Disability

Abstract

The efficacy of a computer-based interactive multimedia HIV/AIDS prevention program for men with intellectual disability (ID) was examined using a quasi-experimental within-subjects design. Thirty-seven men with mild to moderate intellectual disability evaluated the program. The pretest and posttest instruments assessed HIV/AIDS knowledge (high-risk fluids, HIV transmission, and condom facts) and condom application skills. All outcome measures showed statistically significant gains from pretest to posttest, with medium to large effect sizes. In addition, a second study was conducted with twelve service providers who work with men with ID. Service providers reviewed the HIV/AIDS prevention program, completed a demographics questionnaire, and a program satisfaction survey. Overall, service providers rated the program highly on several outcome measures (stimulation, relevance, and usability).

Health promotion for people with intellectual disabilities – A concept analysis

“…Information must be clearly communicated and adapted to the literacy levels of people with ID. It should be presented in such a way that is easy to read and understandable, as well as including visualisations of the main points .…”

“…Information must be clearly communicated and adapted to the literacy levels of people with ID. It should be presented in such a way that is easy to read and understandable, as well as including visualisations of the main points (12,19,30,34). The content of health education programmes or materials as described in the literature included, for example, information about physical activity, a healthy lifestyle and healthy food (18,19), rights and responsibilities in health issues (35), preventing human immunodeficiency virus (30,33) and about coping strategies for stress (28).…”

Aplicaciones informáticas dirigidas a jóvenes y adultos con discapacidad intelectual para el desarrollo de las áreas de apoyo

“…Haciendo un análisis comparado con los otros colectivos sin discapacidad, aplicaciones informáticas dirigidas a jóvenes y adultos con discapacidad intelectual para el desarrollo de las áreas de apoyo m. e. baños-garcía, f. lezcano-barbero, e. garcía-maté y r. casado-muñoz · Ciertas subáreas sí cuentan con algún tipo de apoyo que emplea dispositivos móviles, como, por ejemplo, uso de transportes públicos y elección de itinerarios (Mechling y O'Brien, 2010) o realización de compras (Ayres et al, 2006;Hansen y Morgan, 2008), si bien estos recursos no son aplicaciones multimedia e interactivas y se limitan a audios, imágenes o sistemas de instrucción solo por vídeo. · Se han encontrado otras subáreas infratratadas en general, con tasas muy bajas, como participación social, servicios de emergencias: ambulancias, policía, bomberos..., o educación vial, a pesar de su alto interés para el desarrollo de habilidades de autonomía en la comunidad, como indican Wells et al (2014).…”

Needs among persons with human immunodeficiency virus and intellectual and developmental disabilities in community mental health care: a cross‐sectional study

“…Males were the study focus since 83.1% of individuals in programme on 31 March 2013 were men who generally have an elevated risk of HIV compared with women (Servias ; Wells et al . ; Chandra et al . ).…”

“…The study sample was drawn from a mental health case management programme designed to serve adults (16 years+ of age) living with HIV or AIDS and mental health issues in urban Ontario. Males were the study focus since 83.1% of individuals in programme on 31 March 2013 were men who generally have an elevated risk of HIV compared with women (Servias 2006;Wells et al 2014;Chandra et al 2011). The final sample of 138 males with HIV composed the two study groups: males with HIV and ID (n = 34) and males with HIV and no ID (n = 104).…”
