AB OBJECTIVES: The research project was aimed at securing a profile of a
group of seafarers who has the potential to become peer counselors and
educators. From the profile a culturally relevant intervention program
was conducted to equip these seafarers with basic information on
STD/HIV/AIDS as well as counseling and pedagogic techniques. METHODS:
Environment sensing, Focusused Group Discussions (FGDs) and in-depth
interviews with key informants and communicators, Knowledge, Attitudes
and Perceptions (KAP) Survey, seminar-workshops and programmed
self-instructional modules (distance education). The seamen who were
involved in the project were chosen on the basis of their willingness to
participate in the project. RESULTS: Seamen in general belong to a group
practising high-risk behaviour vis-a-vis HIV infection. The dynamic
interaction among the nature of their work environment, their sexual
beliefs and practices and certain cultural factors determine this
condition. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The project results have revealed
that there are a lot of opportunities to conduct education work on
AIDS/STDs among seamen while on board the ship. Collectively, they
engage in socialization activities during their free hours which can be
maximized by trained peer educators on AIDS who could impart their
knowledge on STD/AIDS/HIV and self-protection while at sea. Also, the
strategy of distance education can be utilized for the continuing
education of seafarers as classroom setting is not feasible due to the
nature of their job's workplace.
