Abstract
HOYOS-HERNANDEZ, Paula Andrea et al. Adherence to COVID-19 preventive behaviors in Colombian trans women. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.53, pp.190-199. Epub Nov 17, 2021. ISSN 0120-0534. https://doi.org/10.14349/rlp.2021.v53.21.
Introduction/Objective:
To establish the level of adherence of a group of Colombian trans women to SARS-CoV-2 prevention measures.
Method:
Single-stage descriptive correlational cross-sectional design. An anonymous online questionnaire was administered to 100 Colombian trans women. The results were obtained using both frequentist and bayesian (a priori-a posteriori) statistical methods.
Results:
About three-quarters of the participating women reported a high level of adherence to preventive behaviors. Associated factors were feeling able to implement the preventive actions and believing in their effectiveness, to avoid infecting others, conflicts with others, and avoiding legal problems.
Conclusions:
Self-efficacy and rule-governed behaviors are related to adherence to prevention measures. Addressing adherence in times of COVID-19 implies comprehensively incorporating the magnitude of social inequities and injustices and the health responses to a situation that affects humanity in a diverse and differentiated manner.
