Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Faculty in Vietnam view sexual violence prevention programs as feasible and acceptable, especially when university leaders actively support a positive campus climate. This leadership support is key to successful implementation and faculty buy-in for sexual violence prevention efforts.
Area Of Science
- Public Health
- Social Sciences
- Higher Education
Background
- Sexual violence prevention efforts on college campuses often overlook faculty and leadership engagement, which is crucial for successful implementation, particularly in resource-limited settings.
- Limited research exists on faculty knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (KAB) regarding sexual violence and their readiness for prevention program implementation.
- This study addresses the gap by examining faculty KAB and implementation readiness in Vietnamese Universities.
Purpose Of The Study
- To assess faculty knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (KAB) about sexual violence at seven Universities in Vietnam.
- To evaluate faculty perceptions of the acceptability and feasibility of sexual violence prevention programming.
- To identify factors influencing faculty readiness for implementing sexual violence prevention interventions.
Main Methods
- A survey was administered to 2343 faculty members across seven Vietnamese Universities, achieving a 68% response rate.
- The survey collected data on demographics, KAB regarding sexual violence, and perceptions of program acceptability and feasibility.
- Descriptive statistics and regression models were used to analyze the data and predict implementation readiness.
Main Results
- Faculty generally did not perceive sexual violence as prevalent on their campuses but held moderate beliefs regarding consent and endorsed myths about perpetrators.
- Faculty reported a positive campus climate for victims and viewed prevention programming as acceptable and feasible.
- Perceptions of university leadership support for a positive campus climate around sexual violence were the strongest predictors of perceived feasibility and acceptability.
Conclusions
- Faculty perceive sexual violence prevention programming as feasible and acceptable, with strong links to visible university leadership support.
- Engaging institutional leaders and addressing faculty KAB are critical for fostering buy-in and creating supportive campus climates.
- Consistent leadership commitment is essential for enhancing the effectiveness of sexual violence prevention efforts in higher education settings.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Surveys allow researchers to gather data from larger samples than may be afforded by...
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...
The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...
