Abstract

Background: Female waiters are at higher risk of workplace violence including sexual coercion. Even though there are numerous studies on the prevalence of sexual coercion among students, nurses, adolescents, and young pregnant women, studies on the prevalence of sexual coercion among female waiters are limited. Furthermore, there is no evidence existed that show a relationship between sexual coercion and HIV risk behavior in Ethiopia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between sexual coercion and HIV risk behavior among female waiters in Jimma, southwest Ethiopia.

Patients and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey from 1st April to 30, 2018, among 420 female waiters of reproductive age working in the licensed food and drinking establishments in Jimma town. A structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS version 21 statistical software. A binary logistic regression model was used to determine the association between independent variables and outcome variables.

Results: The lifetime prevalence of sexual coercion among female waiters was 71.4% (95% confidence interval: 67.1-76.8). More than two-thirds (71.6%) of female waiters engaged in HIV-related risk behaviors. Working in the bar (AOR 4.64, 95% CI: 2.15-10.0), being a substance user (AOR 3.37, 95% CI: 1.7-6.7), experiencing sexual coercion (AOR 7.6, 95% CI: 3.8-15.3) were significantly associated with HIV risk behaviors.

Conclusion: A significant number of female waiters experienced sexual coercion and engaged in HIV-risk behaviors. Workplace, substance use, and sexual coercion were significantly associated with HIV risk behavior. As a result, establishments, town health offices, and other stakeholders should work together to safeguard female waiters from the burdens of sexual coercion, HIV risk behavior, and sexually transmitted infections.

埃塞俄比亚西南部金马镇女服务员的性胁迫与艾滋病风险行为有关。
背景:女服务员在工作场所遭受暴力(包括性胁迫)的风险更高。尽管对学生、护士、青少年和年轻孕妇中性胁迫的普遍性进行了大量研究,但对女服务员中性胁迫普遍性的研究有限。此外,在埃塞俄比亚,没有证据表明性胁迫与艾滋病毒风险行为之间存在关系。目的:本研究的目的是检验埃塞俄比亚西南部吉马市女服务员的性胁迫与艾滋病风险行为之间的关系。患者和方法:我们于2018年4月1日至30日进行了一项横断面调查,在金马镇有执照的餐饮场所工作的420名育龄女服务员中。使用结构化的访谈者管理的问卷来收集数据。采用SPSS 21版统计软件进行统计分析。二元逻辑回归模型用于确定自变量和结果变量之间的相关性。结果:女服务员终生性胁迫发生率为71.4%(95%置信区间:67.1-76.8),超过三分之二(71.6%)的女服务员有与艾滋病相关的危险行为。在酒吧工作(AOR 4.64,95%CI:2.15-10.0)、物质使用者(AOR 3.37,95%CI:1.7-6.7)、经历性胁迫(AOR 7.6,95%CI:3.8-15.3)与HIV风险行为显著相关。结论:大量女服务员经历过性胁迫,并有感染艾滋病的危险行为。工作场所、药物使用和性胁迫与HIV风险行为显著相关。因此,机构、镇卫生办公室和其他利益相关者应共同努力,保护女服务员免受性胁迫、艾滋病毒风险行为和性传播感染的负担。
