INTRODUCTION: Age at sexual debut had decreased in the developing countries recently. Few documented studies have looked into the pattern of risky sexual behaviour and associated factors among undergraduate students in Rivers state of recent. This study examined the pattern of sexual risky behaviour of undergraduate in University of Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. METHODS: A descriptive cross sectional survey was adopted and three hundred students were purposively recruited. Data were collected by a self -administered semi-structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and chi-square statistics at 0.05 significant level. RESULTS: The mean age of respondents was 21.3 ± 2.8 years; more than half (57.4%) were females. Almost a quarter (24.5%) was each in 200 and 300 level of study respectively and more than a quarter (26.7%) lives alone. Sixty-one percent of the respondents had ever taken alcohol beverage with 36.1% of them were current users. More than half (52.0%) the respondents had either boy/girlfriend and a total of 144 (52.0%) had ever had sexual intercourse; of these 13% reportedly had only one sexual partner in their lifetime; girl/boy friend topped the list of their sexual partner; 48.6% respondents were currently sexually active and 32% used a form of protection during their last sexual activity. The mean age at sexual debut was 17.0 ± 4.5 years. Few (13.4%) have had sex in exchange for gifts and 5.1% of these was with a friend. Higher proportions of respondents who reported lifetime use of alcohol were sexually active (p<0.005). CONCLUSION: Respondents exhibits risky sexual behavior as more had sex without any form of protection. Public enlightenment programmes and targeted behavioral change interventions are therefore recommended.
引言:最近发展中国家首次性行为的年龄有所下降。近期很少有文献记载的研究探讨过河流州大学生的危险性行为模式及相关因素。本研究调查了尼日利亚河流州哈科特港大学本科生的危险性行为模式。 方法:采用描述性横断面调查,目的明确地招募了300名学生。通过自行填写的半结构化问卷收集数据,并在0.05的显著水平上使用描述性统计和卡方统计进行分析。 结果:受访者的平均年龄为21.3±2.8岁;超过一半(57.4%)为女性。分别有近四分之一(24.5%)的人处于200和300级学习阶段,超过四分之一(26.7%)独自生活。61%的受访者曾饮用酒精饮料,其中36.1%为当前使用者。超过一半(52.0%)的受访者有男/女朋友,共有144人(52.0%)曾有过性行为;据报告,其中13%一生只有一个性伴侣;性伴侣中男/女朋友位居榜首;48.6%的受访者目前有性行为,其中32%在最近一次性行为中采取了某种保护措施。首次性行为的平均年龄为17.0±4.5岁。很少有人(13.4%)以性换取礼物,其中5.1%是与朋友发生性行为。报告终生饮酒的受访者中,有性行为的比例更高(p<0.005)。 结论:受访者表现出危险性行为,因为更多的人在没有任何保护措施的情况下发生性行为。因此,建议开展公众宣传项目和有针对性的行为改变干预措施。
