To evaluate the sexual behavior of female students enrolled in the Department of Health Science of the Federal University of Paraná and the Department of Biological and Health Scienceof the State University of Paraná at the Cascavel campus.
All the female students, 18 to 24 years of age, enrolled in the above departments in June 2001 were included in the final sample comprised 572 students in Curitiba and 395 in Cascavel. The study evaluated age, family relationship, religiousness, participation in sex education classes and age at initiation of sexual activity. The use of contraceptive methods and condoms, as well as the number of partners, were variables used to evaluate sexual behavior. Safe sex was defined as the use of a condom by monogamous students in all or in the majority of sexual intercourse and the use of condoms by polygamous students during all sexual intercourse. Unsafe sex was defined as the occasional use of condoms by monogamous students and systematic non-use by polygamous students. The data was collected by a self-administered questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS and the Pearson and Yates chi-square test, the Wilcoxon-Gehan "p" test, bivariate analysis and logistic regression.
There was no statistically significant difference in the risky sexual behavior between students and the city in which they were studying. Around 50% of the students aged 18 to 20 and 70% of those 21 to 24 years of age were sexually active. Abstinence was associated with lower age, greater attendance at religious services and a good relationship between the student and her parents. The practice of safe sex was directly associated with a lower age and living away from home. Participation in sex education classes was associated with greater abstinence but not with safe sex. This relation was not maintained after multivariate analysis.
A healthy family relationship and religiousness was associated with safe sexual practices. The percentage of students who still practice unsafe sex is considerable and these results show that being a university student in a health science course does not ensure safe sexual behavior.
评估就读于巴拉那联邦大学健康科学系以及巴拉那州立大学卡斯卡韦尔校区生物与健康科学系的女学生的性行为。
最终样本纳入了2001年6月在上述院系就读的所有18至24岁的女学生，其中库里蒂巴有572名学生，卡斯卡韦尔有395名学生。该研究评估了年龄、家庭关系、宗教信仰、参加性教育课程的情况以及开始性行为的年龄。避孕方法和避孕套的使用情况以及性伴侣数量是用于评估性行为的变量。安全性行为的定义为：一夫一妻制的学生在所有或大多数性交中使用避孕套，以及多配偶制的学生在所有性交中使用避孕套。不安全性行为的定义为：一夫一妻制的学生偶尔使用避孕套，以及多配偶制的学生经常不使用避孕套。数据通过自填式问卷收集。使用SPSS以及Pearson和Yates卡方检验、Wilcoxon-Gehan “p”检验、双变量分析和逻辑回归进行数据分析。
学生与其就读城市之间在危险性行为方面没有统计学上的显著差异。18至20岁的学生中约50%以及21至24岁的学生中70%有性行为。禁欲与年龄较小、参加宗教仪式的频率较高以及学生与父母之间的良好关系有关。安全性行为的实践与年龄较小和离家居住直接相关。参加性教育课程与更高的禁欲率相关，但与安全性行为无关。多变量分析后这种关系不再成立。
健康的家庭关系和宗教信仰与安全性行为实践相关。仍有相当比例的学生进行不安全性行为，这些结果表明，修读健康科学课程的大学生并不能确保有安全性行为。
