Sexually transmitted diseases are an emerging problem especially among young people, increasing the burden of disease in this population. The aim of the study was to evaluate sexual habits, sexual relations and knowledge of STIs among the students in the nursing science course of the University of Palermo.
In April 2019, a survey was provided to students that investigate on: personal information and habits, knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases, anti-HPV vaccination. Multivariable logistic regression was performed, considering it as a dependent variable "Have you occasionally had unprotected sex (without a condom)? Yes", in order to evaluate the role of the variables of the questionnaire. Results are expressed as adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR).
405 students completed the questionnaire. The mean age of the sample is 21.65 years, 69.63% of the interviewees are women. The multivariable logistic regression shows that the risk of having occasional unprotected sex (without condom) is significantly associated with "Do you permanently have unprotected sex (without a condom)? Yes" (aOR 4.46); "Have you ever received information on sex education and/or sexually transmitted diseases? No" (aOR 6.02); "Age Class <22 years old (aOR 2.03); "Number of sexual partners: As the unit increase" (aOR 1.18).
Too many young people receive confusing and conflicting information about relationships and sex, as they make the transition from childhood to adulthood. Nurses play an important role in promoting public health. The study showed that young students are not still enough sensitized on sexually transmitted infections and preconception care.(www.actabiomedica.it).
性传播疾病是一个新兴问题，尤其是在年轻人中，增加了该人群的疾病负担。本研究旨在评估巴勒莫大学护理科学专业学生的性习惯、性关系和性传播感染知识。
2019 年 4 月，向学生提供了一项调查，调查内容包括：个人信息和习惯、性传播疾病知识、HPV 疫苗接种。采用多变量逻辑回归，将其作为因变量“您是否偶尔有无保护的性行为（不使用安全套）？是”，以评估问卷变量的作用。结果表示为调整后的优势比（aOR）。
405 名学生完成了问卷。样本的平均年龄为 21.65 岁，69.63%的受访者为女性。多变量逻辑回归显示，偶尔有无保护的性行为（不使用安全套）的风险与“您是否经常有无保护的性行为（不使用安全套）？是”（aOR 4.46）；“您是否接受过性教育和/或性传播疾病方面的信息？否”（aOR 6.02）；“年龄<22 岁”（aOR 2.03）；“性伴侣人数：单位增加”（aOR 1.18）呈显著相关。
太多的年轻人在从儿童过渡到成年的过程中，会收到关于人际关系和性的混乱和相互矛盾的信息。护士在促进公共卫生方面发挥着重要作用。研究表明，年轻学生对性传播感染和孕前保健的认识还不够充分。（www.actabiomedica.it）。
