Young people worldwide are now at increased risk of unsafe sexual behavior; it is thus imperative to understand the determinants of such practices among them.
To assess factors associated with Risky Sexual Behavior (RSB) among secondary school students in Nigeria.
This cross-sectional study was conducted using multistage sampling technique among 375 secondary school students in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. A pretested questionnaire was used for data collection; chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis were done.
Overall, 23.0% of the respondents had at least one RSB; students not in steady relationships were 5 times more likely to have RSB ( OR = 4.50, 95% CI [2.66, 7.71]). Also, respondents who had positive attitude toward RSB had 24% increased odds of RSB practice compared with those with negative attitude ( OR = 23.75, 95%CI [2.48, 22.78]).
The burden of RSB is high among secondary school students in South West Nigeria. There is urgent need for reprogramming of sex education for the Nigerian secondary school students.
全球年轻人面临的不安全性行为风险正在增加;因此,了解他们此类行为的决定因素至关重要。
评估尼日利亚中学生中与危险性行为(RSB)相关的因素。
本横断面研究采用多阶段抽样技术,对尼日利亚奥贡莫索的375名中学生进行了调查。使用经过预测试的问卷收集数据;进行了卡方检验和二元逻辑回归分析。
总体而言,23.0%的受访者至少有一项危险性行为;没有稳定恋爱关系的学生发生危险性行为的可能性高出5倍(OR = 4.50,95%CI [2.66, 7.71])。此外,对危险性行为持积极态度的受访者与持消极态度的受访者相比,发生危险性行为的几率增加了24%(OR = 23.75,95%CI [2.48, 22.78])。
尼日利亚西南部中学生中危险性行为的负担很高。迫切需要为尼日利亚中学生重新规划性教育。
