摘要

背景性行为不端是一个全球性问题。15-19 岁的青少年面临着性行为不端的最高风险,然而,在中低收入国家(LMICs),有关校园性行为不端的研究却非常有限。我们旨在确定越南三所高中学生自入学以来的性不端行为发生率,包括性骚扰、跟踪、约会暴力和性暴力经历。方法在 2023 年 2 月至 5 月期间,胡志明市三所高中的 754 名学生在线填写了经调整的 "管理者-研究者校园氛围协作"。性骚扰受害者中,40.2%为教职员工,30.2%为学生。跟踪骚扰的发生率为 18.3%,13.1% 的学生报告遭受过约会暴力。近十分之一的学生(8.7%)报告曾遭受性暴力侵害。在排名中等的学校中,性胁迫的发生率最高(6.2%),而在排名较高的学校中,性胁迫的发生率最低(1.6%)(p = 0.028)。与女生相比,男生受到教职员工不想要的性关注(18.7% 对 10.9%)和性胁迫(10.1% 对 4.6%)的比例更高(p = 0.001)。女生报告的约会暴力受害率高于男生(14.9 % vs. 9.9 %,p = 0.029)。需要提高家长、学校管理者和青少年的认识,以制定适合具体情况的预防和应对方案,解决越南各地高中生的性行为不端问题。

Sexual misconduct among high school students in Vietnam

Background

Sexual misconduct is a global problem. Adolescents 15–19 years face the highest risk of sexual misconduct, however, studies on school-based sexual misconduct in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are limited. We aimed to determine the prevalence of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, stalking, dating violence, and sexual violence experiences among students at three high schools in Vietnam since their enrollment.

Methods

Between February and May 2023, 754 students in three high schools in Ho Chi Minh City completed the adapted Administrator-Researcher Campus Climate Collaborative online.

Results

Overall, 54.5 % of students reported any sexual misconduct since enrolling in high school. The prevalence of sexual harassment victimization was 40.2 % perpetrated by staff and 30.2 % perpetrated by students. Stalking prevalence was 18.3 %, and 13.1 % of students reported experiencing dating violence. Nearly 1 in 10 (8.7 %) of students reported sexual violence victimization. Sexual coercion prevalence was highest in the middle-ranked school (6.2 %) and lowest in the high-ranked school (1.6 %) (p = 0.028). Compared to girls, boys reported a higher prevalence of unwanted sexual attention (18.7 % vs. 10.9 %) and sexual coercion (10.1 % vs 4.6 %) by staff (p = 0.001). Girls reported a higher prevalence of dating violence victimization than boys (14.9 % vs. 9.9 %, p = 0.029).

Conclusion

Sexual misconduct prevalence among high school students in Ho Chi Minh City is high with notable gender differences in victimization. Awareness raising among parents, school administrators, and youth is needed to develop contextually appropriate preventive and response programs to address sexual misconduct in high schools across Vietnam.
