摘要

本研究的目的是了解尼日利亚阿比亚州高中青少年的性行为与避孕药具使用之间的关系。据称,大约300名学生是从阿比亚州的两所中学中挑选出来的。采用结构化问卷进行数据收集,并采用描述性统计进行数据分析。调查结果显示,这两所学校的大多数学生(约57%)已经参与了性活动。研究结果还表明,大多数青少年主要(>70%)从互联网上听说过避孕药具,但他们的避孕知识水平较低(<60%的量表最高点),对避孕药具的使用感知较差(≤46%的量表最大点)。进一步的结果表明,青少年使用避孕药具的比例非常低(≤测量量表最大值的17%)。受访者最常用的避孕方法是避孕套(31%)。该研究建议采取更有针对性的避孕干预措施,对青少年的知识和态度产生积极影响。

Sexual Behaviour and Contraceptive Usage Among In-School Adolescents in Nigeria: Evidence From Isiala Ngwa North, Abia State
The aim of this study was to find out the relationship between sexual behaviour and contraceptive usage among adolescents in senior secondary schools in Abia State, Nigeria. Some 300 students were purposively selected from two secondary schools in Abia state. Structured questionnaire was used for data collection and data analysis was done using descriptive statistics. findings showed that majority of the students (approx. 57%) in the two schools were already involved in sexual activity. Results of the study also indicated that majority of the adolescents have heard about contraceptives predominantly (>70%) from the internet, however, their level of knowledge of contraception is low (<60% of the maximum point on scale of measure) and perception of use of contraceptives poor (≤46% of the maximum point on scale of measure). Further result shows that the use of contraceptives by the adolescents was very low ((≤17% of the maximum point on scale of measure). The most common contraceptive used among the respondents is the condom (31%). The study recommends a more intentional contraception intervention that will affect the knowledge and attitude of the adolescents positively.
