摘要

背景:避孕套是预防人类免疫缺陷病毒和其他性传播感染的方法之一。它也被认为是预防意外怀孕的有效方法。尽管已经采取了一些干预措施来促进避孕套的使用,但仍有很大一部分妇女在性交时不使用避孕套。目的:本研究旨在确定坦桑尼亚育龄未婚性活跃妇女使用避孕套的预测因素。方法:本研究使用了2015-16年坦桑尼亚人口与健康调查和疟疾指标调查(2015-16年TDHS-MIS)的二次数据。它涉及15-49岁的未婚性活跃女性。多元二元逻辑回归用于确定最后性交时使用避孕套的预测因素。结果:总体而言,未婚性活跃女性在最后性交时使用避孕套的比例较低(31.1%)。20-24岁和25岁以上女性在最后一次性交中使用避孕套的几率较低(aOR=0.67和aOR=0.65)。与15岁之前开始性行为的女性相比,初次性行为年龄较大(18岁以上)的女性使用避孕套的几率更高(aOR=1.65)。与没有电话的女性相比,拥有电话的女性有更高的几率(aOR=1.44)。此外,与中部地区相比,南部、西南高地和东部地区的妇女使用避孕套的几率更高。讨论:年龄,婚姻结合,平等,财富,所有权;手机、电视、报纸和广播可以显著预测坦桑尼亚育龄未婚性活跃妇女使用避孕套的情况。结论:坦桑尼亚未婚妇女的避孕套使用水平很低,且因年龄、性交年龄、拥有电话和区域而异。需要采取有针对性的干预措施,促进未婚妇女使用避孕套,以降低感染艾滋病毒和意外怀孕的风险。

Predictors of condom use among unmarried sexually active women of Reproductive age in Tanzania
Background: Condom is one of the methods for prevention against Human Immunodeficiency Virus and other Sexually Transmitted Infections. It is also considered an effective method for preventing unwanted pregnancies. Despite the several interventions that have been put to promote condom use, still a large proportion of women do not use condom during sexual intercourse. Objectives: This study aimed at determining predictors of condom use among unmarried sexually active women of reproductive age in Tanzania. Methods: This study used secondary data from the 2015-16 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey and Malaria Indicator Survey (2015-16 TDHS-MIS). It involved unmarried sexually active women aged 15-49 years. Multiple binary logistic regression was used to determine predictors for condom use at last sexual intercourse. Results: Overall, lower proportion (31.1%) of unmarried sexually active women used condom at last sexual intercourse. The odds of using condom during last sexual intercourse was lower aOR=0.67 and aOR=0.65 for women aged 20-24 and 25+ years respectively). Women who reported higher age (18+ years) at first sex had higher odds (aOR=1.65) of using condom compared to those started sex before 15 years old. Women owning telephone had higher odds (aOR=1.44) compared to women without telephone. Also, higher odds of using condom were observed for women in the Southern, South West highlands, and Eastern zones compared to the Central zone. Discussion: Age, marital union, parity, wealth, ownership of; mobile phone, television, access to newspapers, and radio significantly predicts condom use among unmarried sexually active women of reproductive age in Tanzania. Conclusion: The level of condom use among unmarried women in Tanzania is very low and varies by age, age at sex intercourse, ownership of phone and zones. Targeted interventions are needed to promote the condom use among unmarried women in order to mitigate the risk of HIV and un-intended pregnancies.
