| Abstract |
Gaps in provider knowledge adversely affect the successful prevention of sexually transmitted infection (STI) acquisition in sexually active adults. The assessment of these gaps concerns screening, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake for high-risk clients, treatment, and prevention strategies, which are fundamental for provider growth and educational attainment. This project aims to reduce STI prevalence, improve outcomes in sexual health, improve; provider education, and produce a culture conducive to acceptance and trust. This project will include resources to help public health registered nurses appropriately assess and re-evaluate current practices that will improve performance based on evidence-based practice findings. Provider education can be accomplished by attending sexual health training, conferences, and one-on-one consultations with sexual health and STI subject matter experts. The implications for this project are two-fold as providers gain invaluable knowledge and delineate this knowledge to clients resulting in decreased prevalence, increased screening, and increased treatment. The prevalence of STIs in the U.S. and the straining and failing of existing resources reiterate the importance of and need for education by providers to provide quality care, promote continuous quality improvement, and improve sexual health in the public health sector. |
