An HIV/AIDS education intervention for Nepalese adolescent females.

Full Abstract

This study provides empirical evidence that an educational intervention improves knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs among Nepalese female adolescents. Health professionals need to better understand the cultural practices and the role of females in underdeveloped countries such as Nepal. It is also important to identify female risk status for diseases such as HIV/AIDS. There is also a need for implementing culturally appropriate educational interventions with larger samples in rural, as well as urban, areas of Nepal. Nurses can play an active role in empowering Nepalese females, and, along with the government, they can plan and implement efficacious HIV/AIDS prevention programs.
