College students represent the huge section of teenagers in Ethiopia, and a growing number of them practice unsafe sex and hence face unwanted sexual health outcomes. Despite this, little has been explored about the college students' knowledge, attitude, and practice toward risky sexual behaviors (RSBs) in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and the practice of Jimma teacher training college students toward RSBs, Jimma town, southwest Ethiopia, in 2018.
An institution-based quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were collected through a pretested, structured, and self-administered questionnaire. A total of 395 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The collected data were checked manually for completeness and consistency, entered into Epi-data, version 3.1, data entry software, and exported to SPSS, version 20, statistical software for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the outcome and explanatory variables.
Among the total 360 respondents, 140 (38.9%) had poor knowledge of RSBs. The majority 78 (36.6%) of the respondents described radio as their main source of information about RSBs. More than three-quarters, 163 (76.6%) respondents define practicing oral and/or anal sex as RSBs and 194 (91%) reported sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS as the main consequence of RSBs. This study also revealed 156 (43.4%) participants had an unfavorable attitude toward RSBs. 60 (16.7%) participants disagree with the idea that condoms prevent HIV/AIDS and nearly all respondents (340 [94.5%]) agreed homosexuality brings sexual risks. Among those who had sexual experience, 83 (32.4%) had 2 or more sexual partners, more than two-third (176 [68.8%]) had sexual practice after drinking alcohol, and 90 (35.1%) participants reported they did not use a condom when they had sex.
A significant percentage of the students have poor knowledge, attitude, and practice toward RSBs. Tesfaye Y, Agenagnew L. Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices of Jimma Teacher Training College Students Toward Risky Sexual Behaviors, Jimma, Ethiopia. Sex Med 2020;8:554-564.
在埃塞俄比亚，大学生占青少年群体的很大一部分，而且越来越多的大学生有不安全的性行为，因此面临不良的性健康后果。尽管如此，在该研究地区，关于大学生对危险性行为的知识、态度和行为的探讨却很少。因此，本研究旨在评估2018年埃塞俄比亚西南部吉马镇吉马教师培训学院学生对危险性行为的知识、态度和行为。
开展了一项基于机构的定量横断面研究。通过预先测试的、结构化的自填问卷收集数据。使用简单随机抽样技术共选取了395名受访者。人工检查收集到的数据的完整性和一致性，将其录入Epi-data 3.1版数据录入软件，并导出到SPSS 20版统计软件进行分析。使用描述性统计来总结结果变量和解释变量。
在总共360名受访者中，140人（38.9%）对危险性行为的知识掌握较差。大多数受访者78人（36.6%）表示广播是他们获取危险性行为信息的主要来源。超过四分之三的受访者163人（76.6%）将口交和/或肛交定义为危险性行为，194人（91%）报告性传播感染（包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病）是危险性行为的主要后果。本研究还显示，156名参与者（43.4%）对危险性行为持负面态度。60名参与者（16.7%）不同意避孕套能预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病的观点，几乎所有受访者（340人[94.5%]）都认为同性恋会带来性风险。在有性经历的人中，83人（32.4%）有两个或更多性伴侣，超过三分之二的人（176人[68.8%]）在饮酒后有性行为，90名参与者（35.1%）报告他们在性行为时没有使用避孕套。
很大一部分学生对危险性行为的知识、态度和行为较差。特斯法耶·Y，阿格纳格纽·L。埃塞俄比亚吉马教师培训学院学生对危险性行为的知识、态度和行为。《性医学》2020；8：554 - 564。
