Abstract:
Objective:Explore the feasibility of POL intervention based on life skills in young students at high-risk of AIDS, and to provide reference for POL intervention.
Methods:Nine potential POLs were recruited from young students at high risk of AIDS in Xi’an, and received life-skill-based interventions from May to October in 2017. A unified approach was adopted before the intervention. The effect of intervention was evaluated at 1 month and 3 months after the intervention.
Results:The difference in POLs peer status and psychosocial ability scores was not significant after the intervention. The scores of persistence efficacy dimension of condom use efficacy before, 1-month and 3-month after the intervention were (10.56±1.88)(11.11±2.21)(12.89±2.09)(F=6.84, P<0.05) respectively. No significant changes were found in AIDS-related knowledge and behavior before and after the intervention. POL has increased from 108 students before intervention to 216 publicity coverage after three months intervention, however, the difference was not statistically significant. Feasibility analysis of the POL intervention showed that 8 of the POLs considered to be "very useful".
Conclusion:Life skill-based POL intervention for young students at high-risk of AIDS has a wide coverage and reasonable acceptance, as well as condom use adherence. The long-term effectiveness still needs to be verified.
