Aim:

To determine the preliminary effect of a tele-nursing intervention for the condom use self-efficacy among adolescents through social media and digital platforms during the social lockdown due the pandemic.

Methodology:

Randomized clinical trial, parallel simple blind, with equivalent groups: experimental (EG) and control (CG). Simple randomized sampling. Sample size n=30 teenagers per group. 15 to 19 years old teenagers were included, variables were measured with the Self-efficacy (SE) Scale for the Use of Condom.

Results:

After the intervention, there is a difference in the means and standard deviations in the test vs. re-test of both groups of adolescents, with statistical significance.

Conclusions:

The EG's SE levels increased after the intervention through a web site and social media. Digital apps are feasible for teaching the proper technique for condom use within a social lockdown.
