Data Analysis and Use

The Sexually Transmitted Infections Education Efficacy Scale (SEES) evaluates the effectiveness of educational programs on sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The scale focuses on how well educational interventions succeed in enhancing knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving behaviors related to STIs.
The SEES examines:
Knowledge about STIs: The participants’ level of knowledge regarding STIs, their causes, symptoms, and methods of prevention.
Attitude Changes: Shifts in individuals’ attitudes toward condom use, communication about sexual health, and their stance toward sexual risks.
Behavioral Change: The application of acquired knowledge for the prevention of STIs, such as condom use and preventive testing.
The analysis of SEES data includes measuring comprehension and knowledge about STIs, individuals’ attitudes toward prevention, and behaviors related to sexual health. The results can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs and to develop strategies for improvement.

Objective

The objective of SEES is to evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs related to STIs. The scale aims to understand the impact of these programs on enhancing knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving behavior regarding sexual health. The results can help improve educational strategies and the development of more effective prevention programs.

Scoring

Scoring on the SEES is usually conducted using a Likert scale, where participants assess their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding STIs from 1 (very low) to 5 (very high). The questions may cover knowledge level, confidence in educational interventions, and the application of recommendations. The total score is calculated as the sum or the average of the responses, with higher scores indicating better understanding and application of STI-related knowledge.
