Abstract

Background: Adolescence is the journey of transition from childhood to adulthood at which mental, emotional, social and psychosexual development occurs. Early initiation to sexual intercourse without having proper protection has been one of the concerns. Previous studies in Ethiopia indicated significant numbers of adolescents are sexually active and only about 40% of them reported consistent use of condom which exposes them to various form of reproductive health risk. Therefore the main aim of this study was to assess premarital sexual practices and sexual and reproductive health risks associated with it among secondary school adolescents. Methods: School based cross-sectional study design supported by qualitative survey was used. A total of 702 study participant was selected by multi stage sampling technique. Structured questionnaire and focus group discussion were used to collect the data. Finally data were entered using Epi info version 7 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Result: The Magnitude of premarital sexual practice was 136 (20.6%) from which 99 (72.8%) were males. Mean age at first sexual initiation was found to be 15.5. Being male (AOR [95% CI] =4.60[2.25, 9.67]), having pocket money (AOR [95% CI] =2.86 [1.45, 5.63]), watching pornographic movies (AOR [95% CI] = 2.82 [1.30, 6.13]), and drinking alcohol (AOR [95% CI] = 1.99 [1.01, 3.91]) were found to have association with premarital sexual practice. Conclusion: The study reflected the prevalence of pre-marital sexual practices was high. Therefore there should be control over local cinemas, movie renting shops and groceries to decrease exposure of adolescents for pornographic movies and alcohols.

埃塞俄比亚东南部中学青少年婚前性行为和与之相关的危险性行为:一项混合设计研究

背景:青春期是从童年到成年的过渡时期，在此期间发生了心理、情感、社会和性心理的发展。在没有适当保护的情况下过早开始性交一直是人们关注的问题之一。埃塞俄比亚以前的研究表明，有相当数量的青少年性活跃，其中只有约40%的人报告一贯使用避孕套，这使他们面临各种形式的生殖健康风险。因此，本研究的主要目的是评估中学青少年的婚前性行为及其相关的性健康和生殖健康风险。方法:采用基于学校的横断面研究设计，辅以定性调查。采用多阶段抽样方法，共选取702名研究对象。采用结构化问卷调查和焦点小组讨论的方式收集数据。最后使用Epi info version 7录入数据，并使用SPSS version 20进行分析。结果:婚前性行为136例(20.6%)，其中男性99例(72.8%)。初次发生性行为的平均年龄为15.5岁。男性(AOR [95% CI] =4.60[2.25, 9.67])、有零花钱(AOR [95% CI] =2.86[1.45, 5.63])、看色情电影(AOR [95% CI] = 2.82[1.30, 6.13])、饮酒(AOR [95% CI] = 1.99[1.01, 3.91])与婚前性行为有关。结论:本研究反映出婚前性行为的发生率较高。因此，应该控制当地的电影院，电影租赁店和杂货，以减少青少年接触色情电影和酒精。引用本文:Endalew D, gebremmichael B, Tesfa M, Asmamaw T(2018)埃塞俄比亚东南部中学青少年婚前性行为和与之相关的危险性行为:一项混合设计研究。[J]艾滋病临床杂志，9:775。doi: 10.4172 / 2155 - 6113.1000775
