“…Previous studies revealed that the barriers to cervical cancer preventive behaviors were significantly related to the intent to practice these behaviors (Kim, 2009;Waller, Bartoszek, Marlow, & Wardle, 2009). Several barriers to condom use have been reported, such as embarrassment, cost, moral values, ethnic and religious factors, gender inequality, and the lack of a dialogue between partners (Moore et al, 2008;Sarkar, 2008). Barriers to Pap tests include anxiety, embarrassment, and pain (Al-Naggar et al, 2010).…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a peer cervical cancer prevention education program on Korean female college students' knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and intention. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a non-equivalent control group was used. The participants were 58 female college students in a metropolitan city in Korea. The sample consisted of an intervention group (n=28) that participated in a peer education program and a control group (n=30). Data were measured using self-administered questionnaires at two time points: prior to the intervention and after the intervention. Results: Compared to the control group, the experimental group reported significantly positive changes for knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy, and intent to practice cervical cancer prevention behaviors. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that a peer education program developed for Korean female college students was a useful and effective intervention strategy to promote cervical cancer prevention behaviors in Korean sociocultural contexts.

“…The affordability of contraception may limit access for some low affluence groups 20 , and the influence of perceived peer norms and the quality of parent-adolescent discussions regarding condom use may also contribute to socioeconomic inequalities 21 . Access to consistent and universal sexual health education 22,23 and age-appropriate sexual health services 13,24 should be maintained, but the strong link between socioeconomic disadvantage and risky sexual health behaviours suggests that additional targeted interventions should also be considered e.g.…”

“…Male partners may resist use of condoms in marital and steady relationships because sex ought to be natural. This attitude has previously been described in studies conducted both in young and older women [29] and underlines the difficulty for women with HIV to negotiate safer sex practices. Therefore, trust and negotiation for condom use should be addressed in educational programs during counseling.…”

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the key public health concern particularly in sub-Saharan Africa including Kenya. Consistent condom use is crucial especially among HIV positive people to prevent HIV transmission as well as re-infection with different resistant virus strain. It is important to identify the obstacles of condom use among HIV positive individuals in order to constitute preventive measures. Thus, the study was conducted to explore barriers and challenges of condom use among women living with HIV attending Comprehensive Care Centre of Thika Level 5 Hospital, Kenya. We conducted qualitative method of data collection using three focus group discussions and ten key informant interviews. Purposive sampling was used to select participants. Descriptive quotes representing key themes were identified and then analysed thematically. The result indicated that the main barriers of condom use were inability to negotiate in condom use, fear of mistrust, nondisclosure of HIV positive status to partner, alcohol use, and reduced sexual pleasure. In addition, among the negative beliefs and misconceptions identified as barriers of condom use were feeling promiscuous for carrying condoms, religion (being Catholic) and perceived pores in condoms. HIV positive women face many challenges in using condoms and the specific areas of focus should include the barriers mentioned above.Citation: Macharia AG, Kombe Y, Mwaniki P, Habtu M (2017) Sample size and techniqueThree FGDs and ten KIIs were conducted. Each FGD was consisted of 8 participants. The twenty (24) participants for the FGDs and ten (10) for the KIIs were selected purposively. Purposive sampling is a non-probability sampling method also known as 'judgmental sampling' that is used to select participants based on the researchers personal judgment about which ones will be most representative or informative. Focus group discussions (FGDs)An FGD guide was developed and it was mainly concerned about perceptions and use of condoms among HIV positive women. The discussions were conducted by the principal investigator, who acted as the moderator and a second person to record (both females). A tape recorder was used to capture all data from the groups. Participants were selected based on age (18-24 years, 25-32 years and 33-49 years). The discussions were conducted in the counseling room in the CCC clinic which offered a quiet and conducive environment. A written informed consent was obtained from each participant. Key informant interviews (KIIs)Key informant interviews (KIIs) were used to gather data on experiences with condom use. It was developed to guide the interviews. This approach was useful to capture insights that would otherwise be difficult to voice in gatherings of people (FGDs). Ten participants were selected based on age and female sex. The interviews were conducted by the researcher at the same venue as FGDs. After written informed consent was obtained, a voice recorder was used to collect the data. An...
