Premarital sexual practice during adolescence time may lead to different sexual and reproductive health problems including HIV/AIDS. This study was aimed to assess the prevalence of premarital sexual practice and associated factors among adolescents living in the refugee camps in Tigray, northern Ethiopia.
The prevalence of premarital sexual practice was 47.6% [95% CI (43.3%, 51.9%)]. The age (mean ± SD) of the study participants was 17.4 ± 2.71 (15-24 years) and 68.8% of them were males. Being in the age group 14-19 years [AOR = 4.50, 95% CI (2.29-8.84)] or 20-24 years [AOR = 9.76, CI (4.58-20.82)], living with friends [AOR = 5.24, 95% CI (2.28-12.05)] or alone [AOR = 5.72, 95% CI (2.69-12.19)], being in primary school [AOR = 6.93, 95% CI (3.08-15.57)] or college [AOR = 4.33, CI (1.44-13.02)], getting pocket money [AOR = 4.14, 95% CI (2.31-7.41)], parents being either divorced [AOR = 5.11, 95% CI (2.42-10.80)] or widowed [AOR = 3.52, 95% CI (1.69-7.33)], alcohol consumption [AOR = 1.99, 95% CI (1.20-3.38)] were independent predictors of premarital sexual practice among the adolescents.
青春期的婚前性行为可能导致包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病在内的不同性健康和生殖健康问题。本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚北部提格雷难民营中青少年婚前性行为的患病率及相关因素。
婚前性行为的患病率为47.6%[95%置信区间(43.3%, 51.9%)]。研究参与者的年龄（均值±标准差）为17.4±2.71岁（15 - 24岁），其中68.8%为男性。年龄在14 - 19岁[AOR = 4.50, 95%置信区间(2.29 - 8.84)]或20 - 24岁[AOR = 9.76, 置信区间(4.58 - 20.82)]、与朋友同住[AOR = 5.24, 95%置信区间(2.28 - 12.05)]或独自居住[AOR = 5.72, 95%置信区间(2.69 - 12.19)]、就读小学[AOR = 6.93, 95%置信区间(3.08 - 15.57)]或大学[AOR = 4.33, 置信区间(1.44 - 13.02)]、有零花钱[AOR = 4.14, 95%置信区间(2.31 - 7.41)]、父母离异[AOR = 5.11, 95%置信区间(2.42 - 10.80)]或丧偶[AOR = 3.52, 95%置信区间(1.69 - 7.33)]、饮酒[AOR = 1.99, 95%置信区间(1.20 - 3.38)]是青少年婚前性行为的独立预测因素。
