Abstract

Background: Risky sexual practice conceptualized as any practice associated with sexual contact that involves a likelihood of any negative consequence including HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases, acquired due to number of sexual partners, inconsistent use of condom and sexual intercourse with risk partners. Objective: The main aim of this study was to assess the risk sexual practice and associated factors among high school adolescent in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method: Institutional based cross sectional study was conducted on 836 students by selected multistage sampling technique. Data was collected by pretested questionnaire from Apri1.7-25, 2014. The collected data were entered in to Epi info version 3.5.1 then exported to SPSS version 20.0 for analysis. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with risky sexual practice among school adolescent. The crude and adjusted odds ratio together with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals was computed. A P-value<0.05 was considered to declare a result as statistically significant in this study. Result: The prevalence of risk sexual behavior among responding students was 26.7%. Risk sexual practice was associated with using alcohol/chat with (AOR=3.38,95% CI 1.55,7.34), with cigarette smoking (AOR=3.44 95% CI 1.58, 7.50), Self-efficacy (AOR=1.76,CI 1.10,2.82) and those student whom their friends had not known by their family (AOR=1.82,95% CI 1.28,2.59), being male sex (AOR=228 95% CI 1.05,3.28) And educational status (AOR=3. 69,95%CI 2.23,6.12). Conclusion: Risk sexual practice was relatively high among school students. Educational status, sex, Self-efficacy, students whom their friends not know by their family, using alcohol/chat and cigarette smoking showed statistically significant association with risk sexual practice. Strengthening open discussion among family members in general and effective gender education should be introduced to them at an early age

2014年埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴高中青少年的危险性行为及其相关因素

背景:危险性行为的概念是与性接触有关的任何行为，这种行为可能涉及任何负面后果，包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病或其他性传播疾病，这些后果是由于性伴侣数量多、不一贯使用避孕套和与危险伴侣性交而获得的。目的:本研究的主要目的是评估埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴高中青少年的性行为风险及其相关因素。方法:采用多阶段抽样方法，对836名大学生进行基于院校的横断面调查。数据采集于2014年4月1.7-25日，采用预测问卷。将收集到的数据输入到Epi info 3.5.1版本中，然后导出到SPSS 20.0版本进行分析。采用二元logistic回归分析确定与在校青少年危险性行为相关的因素。计算粗比值比和调整比值比及其相应的95%置信区间。在本研究中，p值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。结果:受访学生危险性行为发生率为26.7%。性行为风险与饮酒/聊天(AOR=3.38,95% CI 1.55,7.34)、吸烟(AOR=3.44,95% CI 1.58, 7.50)、自我效能(AOR=1.76,CI 1.10,2.82)、家人不认识的学生(AOR=1.82,95% CI 1.28,2.59)、性别为男性(AOR=228,95% CI 1.05,3.28)和教育状况(AOR=3)相关。69年,95% ci 2.23, 6.12)。结论:中学生性行为危险性较高。受教育程度、性别、自我效能感、家庭不认识的学生、饮酒/聊天和吸烟与性行为风险有统计学显著相关。一般来说，应加强家庭成员之间的公开讨论，并在他们很小的时候就对他们进行有效的性别教育
