About this study
Official title: Psychoeducational Intervention Through Meta - Universes on Self - Efficacy in the Use of Condoms and Sexual Behavior in University Students of the Autonomous University of Chile, 2018.
In Chile, sexually transmitted infections (STI)s, including HIV / AIDS, are the main causes of morbidity in adolescents and young adults. The surveillance bulletin of the Institute of Public Health revealed an increase in cases of gonorrhea, over 200% in the last five years. HIV cases increased between 34% and 47% in this period as well.
Unsafe sexual behaviors are among the most important risk factors for sexually transmitted infections (STI); it has been shown that educational / behavioral interventions can achieve success in behavioral changes, especially in young people. Some studies have evaluated the effectiveness of behavioral interventions to prevent sexual risk behavior of HIV and STIs with encouraging results.

On the other hand, information and communication technologies (ICT) have been used in the prevention of STIs, HIV / AIDS. There is a considerable increase in the use of meta-universes or three-dimensional virtual worlds for educational purposes since 2006. No studies have yet been found that demonstrate the effectiveness of educational interventions carried out in meta-universes for the prevention of STIs in Chile.
This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention through the use of meta-universes, on self-efficacy in the use of condoms and safe sexual behavior, in university students.
An open randomized, controlled trial will be conducted. Dependent variables will be measured before the intervention and 15 days after the end of the intervention in the experimental group in both groups.
Students from first year to fourth year of different careers (except Nursing), currently in the Universidad Autonoma de Chile will be included after their informed consent.
The psychoeducational intervention consists of three sessions in which techniques based on three of the four sources of self-efficacy described are applied.
The intervention will be carried out every 24 hours with four participants in four computers and 3D lenses available in the computer labs of the University.
The dependent variables will be: 1) the self-efficacy in the use of male condom, measured with the Scale Condom self-efficacy scale of Brafford and Beck and 2) safe sexual behavior measured with Safe Sex Behavior Questionnaire scale of Dilorio, Lehr, Adame and Carlone. Both scales were culturally adapted to Chile.

In Chile, sexually transmitted infections (STI)s, including HIV / AIDS, are the main causes of morbidity in adolescents and young adults. The surveillance bulletin of the Institute of Public Health revealed an increase in cases of gonorrhea, over 200% in the last five years. HIV cases increased between 34% and 47% in this period as well.
Unsafe sexual behaviors are among the most important risk factors for these diseases; it has been shown that educational / behavioral interventions can achieve success in behavioral changes, especially in young people. Some studies have evaluated the effectiveness of behavioral interventions to prevent sexual risk behavior of HIV and STIs with encouraging results.
On the other hand, information and communication technologies (ICT) have been used in the prevention of STIs, HIV / AIDS. These include computer interventions through meta-universes, chat rooms, text messaging and social media. There is a considerable increase in the use of meta-universes or three-dimensional virtual worlds for educational purposes since 2006. No studies have yet been found that demonstrate the effectiveness of educational interventions carried out in meta-universes for the prevention of STIs in Chile.
This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention through the use of meta-universes, on self-efficacy in the use of condoms and safe sexual behavior, in university students.
An open randomized, controlled trial will be conducted. Dependent variables will be measured before the intervention and 15 days after the end of the intervention in the experimental group, in both groups.
Students from first year to fourth year of different careers (except Nursing), currently in the Universidad Autonoma de Chile will be included after their informed consent.
The psychoeducational intervention consists of three sessions in which techniques based on three of the four sources of self-efficacy described are applied. The first session is called "Knowledge about STI"; the second session is entitled "Use of the male condom" and the third session is called "Talking about sexuality issues". In the first session screens will be created with interactive information in which the participants wearing 3D glasses will select information on different types of STIs; modeled situations will be presented in which students will perform and at the same time develop self-efficacy in terms of knowledge about STIs. In the second session four metaverses will be created, the first represents a modeled situation in which the participant selects an avatar, then selects a scenario between four risk situations where he meets a possible sexual partner. The student must select riddles that lead to responsible sexual behavior, selecting the best way to use the condom and different barrier methods, proposing its use and rejecting any risky behavior. In the third session, four meta-universes will be created through 3D technology, each participant selects an avatar and a different role is assigned to each one so that they generate sexuality communication skills among them without knowing each one's identity.
The intervention will be carried out every 24 hours with four participants in four computers and 3D lenses available in the computer labs of the University.
The dependent variables will be: 1) the self-efficacy in the use of male condom, measured with the Scale Condom self-efficacy scale of Brafford and Beck and 2) safe sexual behavior measured with Safe Sex Behavior Questionnaire scale of Dilorio, Lehr, Adame and Carlone. Both scales were culturally adapted to Chile.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Self-efficacy in the use of male condom
Self-efficacy in the use of male condom measured with an adaptation of the Condom Use Self Efficacy Scale (CUSES) developed by Brafford and Beck in 1991. This scale consists of 21 items describing an individual's feelings of confidence about being able to buy condoms, put them on and take them off, and negotiate their use with a new sexual partner. Each item is answered with a five-point Likert scale (0: total disagreement to 4: total agreement). Six items are worded negatively so should be reversed when coding. Total scores go from 0 to 84 points, the higher the better self-efficacy. This scale underwent translation and cross-cultural adaptation in Cuba (http://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1132-12962011000200012) and is now in a process of cross-cultural validation in Chile (Universidad Autonoma de Chile) before the beginning of the study. The original authors of the scale have been consulted and agree with adaptation and validation.
Measured: 15 days
Safe sexual behavior
Safe sexual behavior measured with an adaptation of the Safe Sex Behavior Questionnaire (SSBQ) first developed by DiIorio, Parsons, Lehr, Adame and Carlone in 1992. This scale aims to detect safe sexual practices and risky sexual behavior. The current scale has 23 items. Participants rate on a 4-point scale the degree of safe sex practices from "never" (recorded as 1) to "always" (recorded as 4). There are 8 items worded negatively that should be reversed when coding. The total possible range of scores in this adapted SSBQ is between 23 and 92, with higher scores indicating less risky sexual behavior and lower scores indicating more risky sexual behavior. This scale is undergoing translation and cross-cultural validation now in Chile (Universidad Autonoma de Chile). The original authors of the scale have been consulted and agree with adaptation and validation.
Measured: 15 days

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
In Chile, sexually transmitted infections (STI)s, including HIV / AIDS, are the main causes of morbidity in adolescents and young adults. The surveillance bulletin of the Institute of Public Health revealed an increase in cases of gonorrhea, over 200% in the last five years. HIV cases increased between 34% and 47% in this period as well.
Unsafe sexual behaviors are among the most important risk factors for sexually transmitted infections (STI); it has been shown that educational / behavioral interventions can achieve success in behavioral changes, especially in young people. Some studies have evaluated the effectiveness of behavioral interventions to prevent sexual risk behavior of HIV and STIs with encouraging results.
On the other hand, information and communication technologies (ICT) have been used in the prevention of STIs, HIV / AIDS. There is a considerable increase in the use of meta-universes or three-dimensional virtual worlds for educational purposes since 2006. No studies have yet been found that demonstrate the effectiveness of educational interventions carried out in meta-universes for the prevention of STIs in Chile.
This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention through the use of meta-universes, on self-efficacy in the use of condoms and safe sexual behavior, in university students.
An open randomized, controlled trial will be conducted. Dependent variables will be measured before the intervention and 15 days after the end of the intervention in the experimental group in both groups.
Students from first year to fourth year of different careers (except Nursing), currently in the Universidad Autonoma de Chile will be included after their informed consent.

The study was stopped early (reason given: Data collection could not be completed in time and it has not been possible to continue due to the pandemic. Since it is not yet known when the face-to-face classes will resume, we moved on to the data analysis phase with the existing data.). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Self-efficacy in the use of male condom (time frame: 15 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03684668, which also lists 7 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jan 2021.
