iHuman Reflection Week 7 Chamberlain College of Nursing NR 602 In many ways, measures to prevent STIs have gained a lot of traction and have successfully lowered transmission rates for certain populations (Evans, Hatheway, & Deperthes, 2020). However, among other groups STI rates are still gradually climbing. Young women, like
the patient in this case, continue to be at higher risk of getting an STI (Evans, Hatheway, & Deperthes, 2020). Therefore, introducing actions to promote STI self-care in marginalized patients are of particular importance. Two ways to promote STI self-care are ensuring equal access to condoms and providing good education about safe sex practices. Condoms effectively reduce the risk of STIs and are a cost-effective way to prevent transmission (Evans, Hatheway, & Deperthes, 2020). Advocating for condoms to be provided at no cost in accessible locations is a useful step toward health promotion. Further, having open discussions about sex can help patients understand how best to protect themselves and prevent pregnancy. Sex is often thought of as a taboo topic and many patients may not know the difference between STIs, how to prevent them, or when to get screened. Providing resources and education on screening, vaccination, and STI prevention for all patients can help lower risk of transmission and promote better health. References Evans, W.
