Abstract

BACKGROUND

Reproductive health (RH) is a critical component of women's health and overall well-being around the world, especially in developing countries. We examine the factors that determine knowledge of RH care among female university students in Bangladesh.

METHODS

Data on 300 female students were collected from Rajshahi University, Bangladesh through a structured questionnaire using purposive sampling technique. The data were used for univariate analysis, to carry out the description of the variables; bivariate analysis was used to examine the associations between the variables; and finally, multivariate analysis (binary logistic regression model) was used to examine and fit the model and interpret the parameter estimates, especially in terms of odds ratios.

RESULTS

The results revealed that more than one-third (34.3%) respondents do not have sufficient knowledge of RH care. The χ (2)-test identified the significant (p < 0.05) associations between respondents' knowledge of RH care with respondents' age, education, family type, watching television; and knowledge about pregnancy, family planning, and contraceptive use. Finally, the binary logistic regression model identified respondents' age, education, family type; and knowledge about family planning, and contraceptive use as the significant (p < 0.05) predictors of RH care.

CONCLUSIONS AND GLOBAL HEALTH IMPLICATIONS

Knowledge of RH care among female university students was found unsatisfactory. Government and concerned organizations should promote and strengthen various health education programs to focus on RH care especially for the female university students in Bangladesh.

摘要

背景

生殖健康是全球女性健康及整体福祉的关键组成部分，在发展中国家尤为如此。我们研究了孟加拉国女大学生中决定生殖健康护理知识水平的因素。

方法

通过目的抽样技术，使用结构化问卷从孟加拉国拉杰沙希大学收集了300名女学生的数据。这些数据用于单变量分析以描述变量；双变量分析用于检验变量之间的关联；最后，多变量分析（二元逻辑回归模型）用于检验和拟合模型并解释参数估计值，特别是在比值比方面。

结果

结果显示，超过三分之一（34.3%）的受访者对生殖健康护理知识不足。卡方检验确定了受访者的生殖健康护理知识与受访者年龄、教育程度、家庭类型、看电视情况；以及关于怀孕、计划生育和避孕使用的知识之间存在显著（p<0.05）关联。最后，二元逻辑回归模型确定受访者的年龄、教育程度、家庭类型；以及关于计划生育和避孕使用的知识是生殖健康护理的显著（p<0.05）预测因素。
