摘要

摘要背景年轻人的性行为一直是世界各地健康计划的重点。撒哈拉以南非洲青年的危险性行为使他们容易感染艾滋病毒。目前的研究确定了15-24岁学生危险性行为的预测因素 在健康信念模型(HBM)的指导下,在加纳苏胡姆市工作了多年。方法采用横断面设计,采用结构化的预测问卷收集数据,并使用SPSS 20版软件程序进行0.05级分析。结果参与者危险性行为的总体发生率为59.1%。HBM的结构在统计学上均与危险性行为无关。然而,那些认为自己有感染艾滋病毒的风险并认为艾滋病毒/艾滋病会造成严重后果的参与者更有可能采取安全的性行为。结论健康促进方案应旨在提高青年人对艾滋病毒/艾滋病威胁的认识。

Predictors of risky sexual behavior among students aged 15 to 24 years in the Suhum municipality, Eastern region of Ghana
Abstract Background Sexual behavior among youths has been a focus of health programmes worldwide. Risky sexual behaviors among youth in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) predispose them to HIV infection. The current study determined the predictors of risky sexual behavior among students aged 15–24 years in the Suhum Municipality, Ghana guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM). Methods The study employed a cross-sectional design, collecting data using a structured pretested questionnaire and analyzing them using SPSS version 20 software program at the level 0.05. Results The overall prevalence of risky sexual behavior was 59.1% among the participants. None of the constructs of the HBM was statistically associated with risky sexual behavior. However, participants who perceived that they were at risk of contracting HIV and who perceived HIV/AIDS to have severe consequences were more likely to practice safe sexual behavior. Conclusion Health promotion programmes should aim at increasing youths’ perception of the threat posed by HIV/AIDS.
