Journal Title: Revista Información Científica - Year 2019, Vol 98, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: HIV/AIDS is one of the diseases that has had the greatest social impact and affects millions of people.Objective: to identify the susceptibility and self-efficacy of the health professionals of the Faculty of Stomatology of the Benemérita Autonomous University of Puebla (FEBUAP) against the HIV / AIDS virus.Method: it was a descriptive observational study. 250 students and 50 FEBUAP teachers were included, with prior voluntary acceptance and signed informed consent, selected by means of a convenience sample. The HIV/AIDS-65 scale was applied, an instrument with proven validity and reliability for the evaluation of the subscales of the instrument (Cronbach alpha 0.79), proposed by Paniagua in 1998 and adapted to Spanish by Bermúdez, Buela-Casal & Uribe in 2005.Results: with respect to self-efficacy, the students demonstrated superiority. In the susceptibility, the belief of the possibility of contracting the virus was higher in teachers (64% vs. 48%). The belief that only homosexuals should worry about contagion was higher in teachers (92%). We found a higher self-efficacy in students and a better susceptibility in teachers.Conclusions: it is necessary to strengthen strategies that reinforce concepts and behaviors against HIV / AIDS
