摘要

发生性关系是成年人的一部分，但在国外这样做可能是有风险的，因为不安全的性经历可能会给国际学生带来严重的后果。本综述探讨了西方国家国际大学生的性健康和生殖健康(SRH)经验和需求，以确定挑战和差距，并讨论关键的性健康和生殖健康干预措施。在四个数据库(Scopus、Embase、Web of Science和PubMed)中检索了2000年至2023年间发表的同行评议期刊文章。经1607篇文献筛选，10篇符合纳入标准。审查结果显示，许多国际学生缺乏性健康和性传播感染的全面知识。他们经常从非正式来源获得性健康和生殖健康信息，面临语言障碍，并在东道国的卫生保健系统中遇到困难。大学性健康项目应该研究文化取向如何影响国际学生的性健康，并提供文化上合适的性健康与健康干预措施。

Sexual and Reproductive Health Experiences of International Students Studying in Universities of Western Countries

Engaging in sexual relationships is part of adulthood, but doing so in a foreign country can be risky because unsafe sexual experiences can have severe consequences for international students. This review explored sexual and reproductive health (SRH) experiences and needs of international university students in Western countries to identify challenges and gaps and to discuss critical SRH interventions. Four databases (Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and PubMed) were searched for peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2000 and 2023. After screening 1607 articles, 10 met the inclusion criteria. Results of the review showed that many international students lack comprehensive knowledge about sexual health and sexually transmitted infections. They often obtain SRH information from informal sources, face language barriers, and experience difficulties navigating the healthcare systems of their host countries. University sexual wellness programs should examine how cultural orientations impact the sexual health of international students and provide culturally appropriate SRH interventions.

期刊介绍： The journal publishes scholarly peer-reviewed articles on international students in tertiary education, secondary education, and other educational settings that make significant contributions to research, policy, and practice in the internationalization of education worldwide. We encourage the submission of manuscripts from researchers and practitioners around the world from a myriad of academic fields and theoretical perspectives, including international education, comparative education, human geography, global studies, linguistics, psychology, sociology, communication, international business, economics, social work, cultural studies, and other related disciplines. We are especially interested in submissions which mark a new and demonstratively significant advancement in research on international students on topics such as: Cross-cultural studies of acculturation, intergroup relations, and intercultural communication Career preparation, employability, and career outcomes of short- and long-term mobility Development of international student social networks Emerging trends related to the mobility of international students and scholars English-mediated instruction (EMI) and second language acquisition (L2) Experiences of globally mobile LGBTQ+ students and other student populations Geopolitical perspectives and policies related to international students and other immigrants seeking education Global learning involving diverse people collaboratively analyzing and addressing complex problems that transcend borders International faculty, teaching assistants, and postdoctoral researchers Multicultural, intercultural, and cross-cultural engagement New educational contexts that involve the use of emerging technologies and online learning International student experiences in transnational higher education providers and programs.
