Recruiting

• Conditions: Unsafe Sex

• Registration Number: NCT06435234
• Lead Sponsor: Rong Zhang

Brief Summary

Using the intervention functions of Behavior Change Wheel (BCW) and BCTs, we constructed an intervention program for college students' risky sexual behaviors by combining literature analysis, qualitative research, Delphi's expert correspondence, and pre-experiment (20 students in the test group and 20 students in the control group). Before the intervention (T0) and at the end of the intervention (12 weeks, T1), we measured students' psychosexual health, social support, and sexual self-efficacy using relevant scales to ensure the effectiveness of the intervention. By clarifying the influencing factors of college students' risky sexual behaviors, the proposed intervention program for college students' risky sexual behaviors can effectively reduce the incidence of college students' risky sexual behaviors, improve the level of college students' psychosexual health, increase the level of social support, improve the sense of sexual self-efficacy, improve the level of risk perception, enhance the ability of risky decision-making, reduce the risky behaviors, and reduce the occurrence of adverse outcomes, thus providing a reference and reference for the prevention and control of college students' risky sexual behaviors. This will provide reference for the prevention and control of risky sexual behaviors among college students.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Sexual mental health	pre-intervention（T0）; At the end of the intervention（12 weeks, T1）	Questionnaire on Sexual Mental Health of College Students.A total of 31 entries were made, each of which was scored using a Likert 5 scale (1=completely disagree, 5=completely agree), with 25 items scored positively and 6 items scored negatively.; Total scores ranged from 31-155, with higher scores indicating lower levels of psychosexual health
Social Support	pre-intervention（T0）; At the end of the intervention（12 weeks, T1）	Social Support Rating Scale for College Students.There are 17 entries in total. Each entry was scored on a Likert 5-point scale (1=very non-compliant, 5=very compliant), with a total score range of 17-85, with higher scores indicating that 5-point Likert scale (1=very poorly met, 5=very well met), with a total score ranging from 17-85, with higher scores indicating that college students received more social support
Sexual self-efficacy	pre-intervention（T0）; At the end of the intervention（12 weeks, T1）	Sexual Self-Efficacy Scale.There are a total of 34 entries. The first five dimensions were each scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree, 5=strongly agree), and the last two dimensions were each scored on a scale of 0 (never) to -4 (more than 5 times), for a total score of 130, with higher scores indicating higher sexual self-efficacy
