Os dados analisados são referentes a uma amostra de 1260 brasileiros, dos quais 36% afirmaram sempre usar camisinha. De acordo com o modelo de decisão considerado, as variáveis analisadas revelaram que a decisão sobre o uso do preservativo é influenciada pela confiança que o indivíduo sente no sucesso do seu uso.Palavras-chave: Autoeficácia, preservativos, modelo logístico.

Percepção de mulheres quanto à sua vulnerabilidade às Infecções Sexualmente Transmissiveis

“…16 Women who live in married or stable unions generally have low perceptions of vulnerability because they believe in these affective bonds as a protective factor and therefore do not adopt safe sexual behavior, placing them in situations of vulnerability to STIs. 21,22 Therefore, this feeling of protection limits women to question themselves about their vulnerability and, if affected by these infections, favors the lack of early diagnosis, prevents treatment from being initiated, contributing to the complications arising from the grievance and perpetuating the transmission. 10 It is believed to be fundamental to value, promote and encourage self-knowledge that implies knowing oneself, values, feelings, the way of seeing and living life and relationships with others so that it is possible to build a healthy affective involvement that contributes to personal growth, overcoming difficulties and strengthening self-esteem.…”
