NCT ID: NCT06434805 Not yet recruiting - Transgenderism Clinical Trials

An Education Initiative to Reduce Stigma Towards Sex Workers and Sexual Minorities Among Nursing Students

Start date: May 30, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Sex workers and sexual minorities (SWSM) often encounter barriers when accessing healthcare services due to social stigma and discrimination. In Hong Kong, stigma and prejudice exist among nurses and nursing students toward SWSM. Aims: This education initiative aims to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and clinical competence of nursing students in caring for SWSM. Methods: This pilot study will employ a one-group pre-and post-test design. Convenience sampling will be used to recruit 52 nursing students from the clinical phase of the Bachelor of Nursing program at the School of Nursing and Health Studies of Hong Kong Metropolitan University, as well as nursing students from other local universities. The intervention will consist of a four-session one-day workshop based on social cognitive theory and interpersonal contact theory. The workshop will cover various topics, including terminologies, human rights, stigma and discrimination in healthcare settings, contact with SWSM, and skills building. The primary outcome measure will include participants' attitudes toward SWSM. Secondary outcome measures included their knowledge and clinical competence. These outcome measurements will be assessed at baseline (T0) and after the intervention (T1) and three months follow up (T2). Additionally, focus group discussions will be carried out to explore participants' experiences of the intervention. Discussion: Findings from this study could contribute to the existing knowledge on stigma surrounding SWSM in Hong Kong and its impact on healthcare. The intervention is expected to increase the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of nursing students in providing care for SWSM. By promoting non-judgmental and equitable care, the research aims to contribute to the overall well-being and health outcomes of SWSM. These results will inform future nursing education curricula and clinical practice, facilitating the development of more inclusive and patient-centered care for marginalized populations in Hong Kong and beyond.

Centering Those Engaged in Transactional Sex: A PrEP Innovation for Getting To Zero

C-PrEP+
Start date: September 1, 2024
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Using a participatory implementation science framework, I will test whether an adapted and community empowered group healthcare model, Centering PrEP+, is a feasible and acceptable health system intervention to improve the health of sex workers and their clients by increasing PrEP uptake and adherence. The conduct of this pilot study will provide an opportunity to gain experience with all aspects of intervention research, including recruitment, retention, implementing a randomization protocol, assessing measurement tools, delivering an intervention, and monitoring fidelity across two sites, tracking all metrics suggested by CONSORT, data collection and management of quantitative data from multiple sources (e.g., survey, laboratory), data analysis, and dissemination.
