Main cause of infection is condom use behavior. This study aimed to<br>determine condom use and predictors of consistent condom use among undergraduate<br>students who were YMSM. The conceptual framework was based on the InformationMotivation-Behavioral skills (IMB) model. Samples of 115 YMSM aged 18-25 years old who<br>were studying at undergraduate level in Chonburi province. The samples were recruited by<br>using snowball sampling. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires consisted of<br>demographic data, HIV/STIs knowledge and condom use knowledge with a reliability (KR-20)<br>of 0.72 and 0.75 respectively , perceived HIV risk, perceived benefit of condom use, and<br>perceived barrier of condom use, partners’ support for condom use, condom use self-efficacy,<br>and condom use behavior with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient between 0.82-0.96. Descriptive<br>statistics and logistic regression were employed for data analysis.<br>The finding indicates that YMSM reported using condom consistently with the regular<br>partner lower than the casual partner (49.6% and 66.4%, respectively). Condom use selfefficacy could explain consistent condom use among the YMSM both regular partners<br>(Adjusted OR = 1.106, 95% CI = 1.010-1.211) and casual partners (Adjusted OR = 1.134, 95% CI<br>= 1.029-1.249).<br>Therefore, activities to promote condom use self-efficacy in YMSM should be<br>organized. The campaigns should be encouraged YMSM to use condom, negotiation with their<br>partners for condom use, and avoidance of sexual partners who deny to use condom for safe<br>sex.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Public Health Nursing}, author={Sookrak, Nutthavit and Srisuriyawate, Rungrat and Homsin, Pornnapa}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={83–100} }
