Abstract

Abstract As the rates of sexually transmitted infections among Brazilian youth rise, college students present with low rates of condom use. Understanding which factors affect preventive behaviours may assist in promoting them. This study aimed to test the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as a model of condom use behaviour among young university students. Data on sexual behaviour, TPB, and personality variables were collected online with 343 sexually active students aged between 18 and 29. Seventy participants also provided follow-up data after 30 days. Structural equation models and ordinal regressions were used to analyse the effects of TPB variables on condom use behaviour. Attitude was the main predictor of behavioural intention in the cross-sectional and longitudinal models. Being in a relationship and lower age at sexual debut were also associated with less frequent condom use behaviour in the cross-sectional analysis. Behavioural intention and perceived control were associated with condom use behaviour.
与年轻大学生使用安全套行为有关的因素
随着巴西青少年性传播感染率的上升,大学生避孕套使用率较低。了解影响预防行为的因素可能有助于促进预防行为。本研究旨在测试计划行为理论(TPB)作为年轻大学生安全套使用行为的模型。研究人员在网上收集了343名年龄在18岁至29岁之间的性活跃学生的性行为、TPB和个性变量数据。70名参与者在30天后也提供了随访数据。采用结构方程模型和有序回归分析TPB变量对安全套使用行为的影响。在横截面和纵向模型中,态度是行为意向的主要预测因子。在横断面分析中,处于恋爱状态和初次性行为年龄较低也与较少使用避孕套的行为有关。行为意向和感知控制与避孕套使用行为有关。
