ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify the knowledge determinants about the sexually transmitted infections (STI) in the nursing staff of a mother-child hospital. Material and methods: A prospective and analytic study was conducted in June and July of 2002. An evaluation exam was applied before and after the educative intervention about: a) the frequency of the STI in Mexico, b) the main practices of prevention and risks and c) doubts, concerns about HIV-AIDS. The relative risk was calculated, as well as the Ji2 of McNemar. Results: There were 105 participants, 95% of them were female and 67% had a general nursing education. At the beginning of the intervention they showed low grades (‹ 6 points) in their knowledge of ways of transmission, clinic manifestations, diagnostic methods and preventive measures. The last one was the only one that didn’t have a significant difference. The participants older than 39 years (OR 2.36, IC 95% 1.6-3.3) that worked in the morning or the night shifts (OR 2.2, IC 95% 1.52-3.2) increased their knowledge level in a significant way. The highest educational level (OR 6.0, IC 95% 1.8-20) and working category with the most administrative responsabilities (OR 10, IC 95% 1.1-90) were associated in a significant way with the probability to learn. It was also identified the interaction between age and working shift (older than 39 years and morning or night shifts) OR 4, IC 95% 1.4-13.7. Conclusions: The STI educational programs through conferences are more successful with nursing older than 39 years old and from middle and upper levels.
