Abstract Background Self-efficacy in mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) prevention plays a pivotal role promoting preventive behaviors by fostering sense of control and motivation, especially among men who have sex with (MSM), the population most affected many countries. Objective This study aims to assess self-efficacy MSM China identify factors influencing it, using validated scale. Methods From October 2023 March 2024, nationwide cross-sectional was conducted (aged ≥18 years) across 6 geographic regions snowball sampling method. The recruited participants (effective response rate=2403/2481, 96.9%) were asked complete an anonymous questionnaire designed based on prior knowledge social cognitive theory. scale evaluated for construct validity exploratory factor analysis confirmatory analysis, its reliability assessed Cronbach α coefficient. Univariate multivariable logistic regression analyses used examine associated MSM. Results A total 2403 included, mean age 29 (IQR 19‐39) years. Of these, 1228 (51.1%) aged 25‐34 years, 1888 (78.6%) held college degree or higher, 2035 (84.7%) unmarried. median score 23 18‐28). Exploratory retained items Confirmatory confirmed strong model fit (χ²₅=32.1, n=1225; P <.001; comparative index=0.991; root square error approximation=0.067; standardized residual=0.02; goodness-of-fit index=0.992; normed index=0.990; incremental Tucker-Lewis index=0.974), all indices within acceptable ranges. demonstrated good internal consistency, 0.859. positive mpox-related (OR 1.107, 95% CI 1.070‐1.146), perceived risk awareness 1.338, 1.132‐1.583), perception 1.154, 1.066‐1.250), while negative age, individuals 25 years older exhibiting lower (25‐34 years: OR 0.789, 0.642‐0.970; 35‐44 0.572, 0.444‐0.736; 45 older: 0.569, 0.394‐0.823). Conclusions These findings highlight critical targeted interventions enhance self-efficacy, particularly through increasing knowledge, awareness, perception. Such are important middle-aged MSM, may experience decline self-efficacy. Strengthening these areas is essential sustained behaviors, improving mental well-being, contributing more effective community.

We aimed to explore correlates and develop a model for vaccination intention. distributed questionnaire sample 2403 men who have sex with investigate whether they would get vaccine. participants were randomly split into training set testing ratio 3:1. screened relevant variables by least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis included them intention model, which used multivariate logistic presented findings as nomogram. receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, lift population stability index test validity model. Of our sample, 87.1% intended an Five thirty-one variables, i.e. knowledge, social support, internal rewards, external response efficacy, demonstrated strong risk differentiation (Kolmogorov-Smirnov value = 0.46), moderate predictive power (training area under curve 0.7709), good fit, indicating robust performance. Our proposed performance is highly stable, while suggest that governments should design targeted public health strategies, integrating engagement leveraging peer community education promote vaccination.
