A cross sectional qualitative and quantitative pilot survey, using self administered questionnaire and focus group discussions, was conducted to assess the need for, and feasibility of, a health promotion programme for university students at a South African University. We examined the gender and cultural effects on sexual attitudes and behaviour, as well as condom use. A total of 73 students, age's between 18 and 30 years, participated in the pilot survey. The results suggest that females compared to the males are more likely to abstain until they find a partner with whom they intend to settle. There was a strong belief that unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy and STIs. Overall participants were not sure if condom use had any negative effects, although female respondents felt that condoms affect the pleasure of sexual intercourse. The results suggest that there is a clear need for health promotion programmes aimed at young adults, who attend university. The programme would need to aim at improving general health knowledge, targeting health promotion and sexual risk behaviour among university students. Such a programme would have to consider gender, socio-economic circumstances as well as national and cultural background of the target population.
我们开展了一项横断面定性和定量试点调查，采用自行填写问卷和焦点小组讨论的方式，以评估南非一所大学针对大学生的健康促进项目的必要性和可行性。我们研究了性别和文化对性态度、性行为以及避孕套使用的影响。共有73名年龄在18至30岁之间的学生参与了试点调查。结果表明，与男性相比，女性更倾向于 abstain，直到她们找到想要与之安定下来的伴侣。人们坚信无保护性行为会导致怀孕和性传播感染。总体而言，参与者不确定使用避孕套是否有任何负面影响，尽管女性受访者认为避孕套会影响性交的愉悦感。结果表明，显然需要针对上大学的年轻人开展健康促进项目。该项目需要旨在提高一般健康知识，针对大学生中的健康促进和性风险行为。这样一个项目必须考虑目标人群的性别、社会经济状况以及国家和文化背景。
