“…Surprisingly, our results also indicated that among participants with low sexual assertiveness, high endorsement of the SWS was associated with more sexual satisfaction than those with low SWS endorsement. As previous research suggests that sexual assertiveness is a key predictor of satisfaction (Adebayo & Olonisakin, 2014; Azmoude et al, 2016), our findings demonstrated that Black women’s sexual satisfaction may also be uniquely informed by their endorsement of the SWS. As Black women have been found to engage in sexually modest behaviors to counter existing hypersexualizing stereotypes (e.g., the Jezebel; Jerald, 2018), those with higher SWS endorsement and lower sexual assertiveness may draw from their perceived “superhuman” physical and emotional strength, and achieve sexual satisfaction through engaging in sexually assertive behaviors that are not captured in the present study measures.…”

“…A lack of sexual assertiveness is one such sexually inhibitive behavior that reflects individuals’ ability to communicate their sexual needs and has been a strong positive predictor of sexual satisfaction (Adebayo & Olonisakin, 2014; Azmoude et al, 2016; Ménard & Offman, 2009). Sexual satisfaction refers to the degree of satisfaction derived from sexual encounters and is associated with overall well-being, physical health, and relationship satisfaction (Byers, 2005; Gianotten et al, 2021; Taleporos & McCabe, 2002).…”

Although extant research highlights the detrimental effects of the Superwoman Schema (SWS) on Black women’s physical and psychological well-being, researchers have yet to examine the implications of SWS endorsement on Black women’s sexual attitudes and behaviors. As a culturally salient racialized gender schema that reifies Black women’s supposed superhuman emotional and physical strength, to what extent does endorsement of the SWS contribute to Black women’s reported sexual assertiveness and satisfaction? In the present work, 406 Black women completed an online survey measuring their endorsement of the SWS, as well as their sexual assertiveness and sexual satisfaction. SWS dimensions moderated the association between sexual assertiveness and sexual satisfaction. Findings from the present study highlight the importance of considering culturally salient racialized gender schemas when examining Black women’s sexual attitudes and behaviors.

Background: Sexually transmitted diseases are a major health problem in all countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common viral sexually transmitted disease in both genders. High-risk sexual behaviors (HRSBs) are among the major risk factors for HPV infection. Lack of knowledge can contribute to HRSBs and hence, education can potentially reduce HRSB risk. This study evaluated the effects of an educational program based on the Theory of Reasoned Action on HRSBs among patients with HPV. Methods: This two-group randomized controlled trial was conducted in 2017-2018. The educational program was developed based on the results of a survey into the most important components of the Theory of Reasoned Action contributing to HRSBs among 100 patients recruited from Razi hospital, Tehran, Iran. Then, 110 patients from the same hospital were consecutively recruited and randomly allocated to a control (n = 55) and an intervention (n = 55) group and all of them completed a demographic questionnaire and the Sexual Risk Scale. Then, each participant in the intervention group was provided with the developed educational program which consisted of two face-to-face educational sessions in the first and the thirtieth days of the intervention, an educational booklet, and biweekly follow-up telephone contacts. Their counterparts in the control group solely received routine care services. Three months after the first educational session, HRSBs were reassessed in both groups. Results: There were no significant between-group differences respecting participants’ baseline characteristics and mean score of HRSBs (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the mean score of HRSBs significantly decreased in the intervention group (P < 0.001) but did not significantly change in the control group (P = 0.70). The posttest mean score of HRSBs in the intervention group was significantly less than the control group (P = 0.015). Conclusion: Education based on the Theory of Reasoned Action is effective in significantly reducing HRSBs among patients with HPV infection. Nurses can develop and use educational interventions based on this theory to reduce HRSBs and HPV infection.

BACKGROUND: Sexually transmitted diseases are a major health problem in all countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common viral sexually transmitted disease in both genders. High-risk sexual behaviors (HRSBs) are among the major risk factors for HPV infection. Lack of knowledge can contribute to HRSBs and hence, education can potentially reduce HRSB risk. This is a study using theory of reasoned action to reduce the high-risk sexual behaviors among patients with HPV. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a two-grouped, randomized, controlled trial. The educational program was developed based on the results of a survey into the most important components of the theory of reasoned action contributing to HRSBs among 100 patients recruited from Razi hospital, Tehran, Iran. Then, 110 patients from the same hospital were consecutively recruited and randomly allocated to a control ( n = 55) and an intervention ( n = 55) group. Then, each participant in the intervention group was provided with the developed educational program. Their counterparts in the control group solely received routine care services. Three months after the first educational session, HRSBs were reassessed in both groups. Data were analyzed via the SPSS software (v. 21.0). RESULTS: After the intervention, the mean score of HRSBs significantly decreased in the intervention group ( P < 0.001) but did not significantly change in the control group ( P = 0.70). The post-test mean score of HRSBs in the intervention group was significantly less than the control group ( P = 0.015). CONCLUSION: Education based on the theory of reasoned action is effective in significantly reducing HRSBs. Nurses can develop and use educational interventions based on this theory to reduce HRSBs and HPV infection.
