Abstract
Lower levels of sexual self-efficacy increase high-risk sexual behaviors in prostitutes. In this respect, an educational intervention program based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model can enhance sexual self-efficacy. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of IMB education on sexual self-efficacy in women. To this end, a clinical trial was conducted on women with high-risk sexual behaviors in Mashhad, Iran (n=84). The study instrument included a questionnaire containing IMB constructs and sexual self-efficacy. The data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 25). There was no significant difference between the groups regarding the mean±SD of sexual self-efficacy before the intervention. However, Friedman test results showed a significant difference between the given phases (P<0.001); however, intra-group comparison results were not significant in the control group (P=0.56). It was recommended to utilize this educational intervention program to increase levels of sexual self-efficacy among women.
