项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancy, and HIV/AIDS among Black emerging adult women (BEAW) are increasing at alarming rates. Sexual safety is often narrowly conceptualized as the avoidance of risk behaviors and little is known about the varied ways in which women manage their sexual safety while meeting their needs for emotional love, trust, intimacy, and desire. Unfortunately, risk-based frameworks provide a one-dimensional understanding of sexually-related problems among BEAW and these frameworks often render women's efforts to maintain their sexual safety invisible. In contrast, this application aims to understand this phenomenon using a healthy sexuality framework. The concept of healthy sexuality attends to the meanings of health and positive emotion which often accompanies individuals as sexual beings. The purpose of this narrative study is to describe how BEAW manage their sexual safety within a healthy sexuality framework. The applicant will explore how BEAW perceive meanings of sexual safety, describe how they manage(d) their sexual safety in their recent and current sexual relationships, and identify factors that facilitate and hinder their efforts to manage their sexual safety. The participants' in-depth descriptions of how they manage(d) sexual safety in their recent and current sexual relationships will provide much needed data about the complexities of how sexual safety is managed in this population. Nurse scientists must attend to the perceptions, meanings, and management of BEAW's sexual safety in order to design effective science-based programs and interventions. This narrative study and training plan serves to launch the applicant's program of research in sexuality science and women's health among traditionally marginalized populations. It is highly relevant to the research priorities of the National Institute of Nursing Research mission because the study aims to promote health and prevent disease. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The applicant's proposal anchors the highly investigated topic of sexual safety among young Black women, within a paradigm of health and well-being. This approach stands in stark contrast to its often narrow conceptualization as the avoidance of risk behaviors only. Discovering ways in which Black emerging adult women make meanings from sexuality experiences and subsequently manage sexual safety is highly relevant to public health. This proposal seeks to understand these phenomena as the first step in establishing appropriate theory-based interventions designed to mitigate sexually-related disease burdens in communities of color.

描述（由申请人提供）：黑人新兴成年女性 (BEAW) 中的性传播感染、意外怀孕和艾滋病毒/艾滋病正在以惊人的速度增加。性安全通常被狭隘地概念化为避免危险行为，而人们对女性在满足情感爱、信任、亲密和欲望需求的同时管理性安全的各种方式知之甚少。不幸的是，基于风险的框架对 BEAW 中与性相关的问题提供了一种单维的理解，并且这些框架常常使妇女为维护其性安全所做的努力被忽视。相比之下，该应用程序旨在使用健康的性框架来理解这种现象。健康性的概念关注健康和积极情绪的含义，这些含义通常伴随着作为性存在的个体。这项叙述性研究的目的是描述 BEAW 如何在健康的性行为框架内管理其性安全。申请人将探讨 BEAW 如何看待性安全的含义，描述他们如何在最近和当前的性关系中管理性安全，并确定促进和阻碍他们努力管理性安全的因素。参与者对他们如何在最近和当前的性关系中管理性安全的深入描述将为了解如何在该人群中管理性安全的复杂性提供急需的数据。护士科学家必须关注 BEAW 性安全的看法、含义和管理，以便设计有效的基于科学的计划和干预措施。该叙述性研究和培训计划旨在启动申请人在传统边缘化人群中的性科学和妇女健康研究计划。它与国家护理研究所任务的研究重点高度相关，因为该研究旨在促进健康和预防疾病。公共健康相关性：申请人的提案在健康和福祉的范式中锚定了年轻黑人女性性安全这一备受调查的话题。这种方法与其通常狭隘的仅避免风险行为的概念形成鲜明对比。发现黑人新兴成年女性从性经历中理解意义并随后管理性安全的方式与公共卫生高度相关。该提案旨在理解这些现象，作为建立适当的基于理论的干预措施的第一步，旨在减轻有色人种社区中与性相关的疾病负担。
