Objective: To identify the factors that influence self-efficacy for condom use (AUC) in women carrying Human Papillomavirus (HPV) from the northern border of H. Matamoros, Tamaulipas.
Materials and methods: descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study in a population of women carrying HPV, sampling was by convenience, with a total of 201 women. The instruments applied were the personal data card and the self-efficacy dimension for condom use of the Self-Efficacy Scale for AIDS (SEA-27). Descriptive and correlational statistics were applied through the SPSS 21 package.
Results: women with an average age of 30 years (SD=13.12), 49.3% single, but in a stable sexual relationship (75.1%). AUC, they tend to be moderately safe to use condoms during sexual intercourse after the woman and her partner have been drinking alcohol or have been consuming or using drugs. Likewise, they report an average of 3.90 (SD=1.14) to be half sure of refusing to have sexual relations if their partner does not agree to use a condom. Age has a moderate and positive statistically significant relationship with marital status (rs = .490, p< .001) and length of relationship (rs = .456, p< .001); marital status showed a statistically significant moderate positive correlation with the length of the relationship (rs = .516, p< .001) and a very low negative correlation with the AUC (rs = -.141, p< .05) and schooling is correlated at very low but positive levels with the AUC level (rs = .196, p< .001).
Conclusion: The population studied has reported low self-efficacy for condom use and only education and marital status are the factors that are directly related to the variable.
