Abstract

This investigation was performed in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah state, where the highest number of pregnancies is recorded. The purpose of this study was to determine variables associated with hazardous sexual activity and adolescent pregnancy in Sabah, Malaysia. The findings indicate that familial variables, peer interactions, self-esteem, psychiatric concerns, economic considerations, and sex knowledge all play a significant role in hazardous sexual conduct and adolescent pregnancy in Sabah, Malaysia. Information obtained from this study will help the Malaysian government and other officials to design and establish proper interventions that will help alleviate the challenge of high prevalence of teenage pregnancy. It is suggested that sex education be included in the high school curriculum, along with physical and health education in Sabah, Malaysia.

这项调查是在沙巴州的哥打京那巴鲁进行的,那里记录的怀孕人数最多。本研究的目的是确定与马来西亚沙巴的危险性活动和青少年怀孕相关的变量。研究结果表明,家庭变量、同伴互动、自尊、精神问题、经济考虑和性知识都在马来西亚沙巴的危险性行为和青少年怀孕中起着重要作用。从这项研究中获得的信息将有助于马来西亚政府和其他官员设计和建立适当的干预措施,这将有助于缓解青少年怀孕高流行率的挑战。在马来西亚的沙巴州,有人建议将性教育与体育和健康教育一起纳入高中课程。
