Abstract

Oral sex, a risky sexual behaviour, is now a common sexual behaviour in Nigeria. Nigerian clinicians play crucial roles in the promotion of healthy sexual behaviours among the lay public. This study seeks to identify those factors that determine the willingness of Nigerian clinicians to recommend protected oral sex to patients with history of oral sex practice. This study surveyed 330 clinicians in Nigeria, using an e-questionnaire circulated via WhatsApp. The collected data were analysed using SPSS version 21 software. The majority (89.1%) of the respondents were willing to recommend protected oral sex for patients engaging in oral sex. Amidst all of the factors (sociodemographic factors, sexual history, etc.) investigated, only one factor (which was the uncertainty about the risk level of oral sex) was found to predict the willingness to recommend protective measures to patients on oral sex (OR = 3.06, p = 0.036). In conclusion, only few factors were found to influence Nigerian clinicians in engaging in patient education on safer oral sex practices.

决定尼日利亚临床医生推荐保护性口交意愿的因素:一项在线探索性研究

口交，一种危险的性行为，现在在尼日利亚是一种常见的性行为。尼日利亚临床医生在促进非专业公众健康的性行为方面发挥着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在确定那些决定尼日利亚临床医生向有口交史的患者推荐保护性口交的意愿的因素。这项研究使用通过WhatsApp分发的电子问卷调查了尼日利亚的330名临床医生。采用SPSS 21版软件对收集的数据进行分析。绝大多数(89.1%)的受访者愿意建议患者进行有保护的口交。在调查的所有因素(社会人口学因素、性史等)中，只有一个因素(对口交风险水平的不确定性)可以预测患者推荐口交保护措施的意愿(OR = 3.06, p = 0.036)。总之，只有少数因素被发现影响尼日利亚临床医生从事患者安全口交行为教育。
