Stigmatization, which emerges depending on the sexual behavior of young individuals, leads to negative health and social outcomes, such as shame, social marginalization, violence, and mental health morbidity.
This study aimed to examine the correlation between the level of sexual and reproductive health stigma and gender perception in female university students.
This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university in Turkey.
The data of this study were collected from digital media between July and October 2020 from a study population of 385 students. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, including the socio-demographic characteristics of students, the Sexual and Reproductive Health Stigmatization Scale in Young Women and the Perception of Gender Scale. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson's correlation test were used to assess the data.
It was determined that there was a negative correlation between the Sexual and Reproductive Health Stigmatization Scale in Young Women and the Perception of Gender Scale (r = -0.173, P = 0.001).
It was determined that as the gender perception in the young women who participated in the study increased, the sexual and reproductive health stigmatization level decreased. The sexual and reproductive health stigmatization levels of the participants were at an above average level, and gender perception was at a medium level.
污名化是根据年轻人的性行为而产生的，会导致负面的健康和社会后果，如羞耻感、社会边缘化、暴力和心理健康问题。
本研究旨在探讨女大学生的性与生殖健康污名化程度与性别认知之间的相关性。
这是一项在土耳其一所大学健康科学学院进行的描述性横断面研究。
本研究的数据于 2020 年 7 月至 10 月期间通过数字媒体从 385 名学生的研究人群中收集。数据收集使用个人信息表，包括学生的社会人口统计学特征、年轻女性性与生殖健康污名量表和性别认知量表。使用描述性统计、独立样本 t 检验、方差分析和 Pearson 相关检验对数据进行评估。
年轻女性性与生殖健康污名量表与性别认知量表之间存在负相关（r = -0.173，P = 0.001）。
研究参与者的性别认知越高，性与生殖健康污名化程度越低。参与者的性与生殖健康污名化水平处于中上水平，性别认知处于中等水平。
