摘要

背景:紧急避孕(EC)或性交后避孕有可能减少意外怀孕的数量,从而降低堕胎率。高等院校的学生是一个独特的群体,他们的社会互动程度非常高,但由于他们的教育水平,可能在任何社区都形成一个群体,这个群体应该对现有的避孕方法有更高的认识和使用水平,包括EC。目的:本研究的目的是评估对EC的知识和态度,并确定尼日利亚奥松州高等院校学生使用紧急避孕药的情况。研究对象和方法:一项横断面研究,使用自我管理的结构化问卷,涉及学生的社会人口统计学特征、性关系、一般避孕知识和避孕药知识、避孕药的使用和避孕药使用的决定因素。结果:共回收问卷384份,其中男性178/384人(46.4%),女性206/384人(53.6%)。207/384名受访者为大学生,占53.9%;177/384名受访者为中专学生,占46.1%。大多数受访者(142/376)(37.8%)从朋友和家庭生活教育(186/373)(49.9%)获得EC知识。超过一半的受访者有性关系,只有71/384(18.5%)的受访者对性行为有良好的了解。EC的使用率为106/384(27.6%)。结论:大多数高校学生有性关系,对电子商务的认识和使用也很差。正规的家庭生活教育、伴侣认可和以前使用过EC鼓励进一步使用。有必要精心设计教育项目,促进家庭生活教育,有意识地意识到安全性行为,包括在校园现有的学生健康启蒙课程中进行电子商务。

Knowledge and determinants of emergency contraception use among students in tertiary institution in Osun State Nigeria.
Background : Emergency contraception (EC) or postcoital contraception has the potential to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and thus the abortion rate. Tertiary institutions' students are a unique group with very high social interaction, but by virtue of their level of education, probably forms a group in any community, which should have an overall higher level of awareness and use of available methods of contraception, including that of EC. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitude toward EC, and as well to determine the prevalence of emergency contraceptive use among the students of tertiary institutions in Osun State, Nigeria. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study using the self-administered structured questionnaire on questions relating to the socio-demographic characteristics of the students, sexual relations, knowledge of contraception in general and EC, use and determinants of EC use. Results: A total of 384 of the 400 questionnaire were returned of which male respondents were178/384 (46.4%) while the females were 206/384 (53.6%). Two hundred and seven respondents 207/384 (53.9%) were university students, while 177/384 (46.1%) were polytechnic students. Most respondent 142/376 (37.8%) derived knowledge of EC from friends and family life education from school 186/373 (49.9%). More than half of respondents are in sexual relationships, with only 71/384 (18.5%) showing good knowledge of EC. However, use of EC was 106/384 (27.6%). Conclusion: Most tertiary institutions' students are involved in a sexual relationship, have poor knowledge of EC and use of EC also. Formal family life education, partner approval, and previous use of EC encourage further use. There is a need for carefully designed education programs and promotion of family life education with deliberate awareness on safe sex practices, including EC in existing students' health enlightenment programs on campuses.
