Abstract

Purpose: An STD (Sexually transmitted disease) prevention program was developed for the elderly, and its effect on their knowledge about STDs, STD prevention attitudes, social support, STD prevention self-efficacy, STD prevention behaviors, and STD presence were verified. Method: The subjects of the study were 50 people (25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group). The experimental group was provided with a six-session STD prevention program. Result: In the experimental group, the knowledge about STD (t=105.00, p<.001), STD prevention attitudes (t=7.60, p<.001), and social support (F=87.11, p<.001), STD prevention self-efficacy (U=28.00, p<.001), and STD prevention behavior (t=7.38, p<.001) were improved significantly. Conclusion: The results highlight the need for nursing intervention for STD prevention to the elderly using the program developed for the prevention of STDs for the elderly.
