Innovative HIV education for nursing students and community health advisors significantly improved HIV knowledge in an African-American community, demonstrating a cost-effective approach to preventing HIV transmission.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Nursing Education
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Preventing HIV transmission is a global health priority.
  • Nursing shortages and high educational costs necessitate innovative health education strategies.
  • Addressing HIV transmission requires culturally relevant interventions, especially within high-risk communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a multi-level HIV education initiative.
  • To assess the effectiveness of training lay health advisors (LHAs) as peer educators.
  • To improve HIV knowledge among participants in a high-risk African-American community.

Main Methods:

  • An HIV education program was implemented for RN to BSN students, LHAs, and community members.
  • BSN students developed, implemented, and evaluated educational plans, including training LHAs.

  • Six LHAs conducted 24 HIV education sessions using tailored materials for 168 community participants.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant increase in correct HIV knowledge responses from 81.9% to 88.3% (p = .001).
    • Greatest knowledge gains were observed in areas of African American HIV exposure, female condoms, and lubricants.
    • The LHA peer educator model proved cost-effective and enhanced community credibility.

    Conclusions:

    • The multi-level HIV education initiative successfully improved knowledge within the target community.
    • Training LHAs as peer educators is a viable and cost-effective strategy for HIV prevention.
    • Culturally tailored educational materials are crucial for addressing specific community needs and improving health outcomes.
