Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 software and descriptive and analytical statistical tests such as t test and ANOVA.

摘要

性传播疾病(STDs)是新世纪的健康问题之一,在年轻人中发病率很高。对这些疾病的认识和态度以及人们的人口特征对降低其发病率和流行率具有重要作用。因此,本研究旨在评估人口统计学变量与青少年性传播疾病知识、态度和行为之间的关系。材料和方法:本研究为描述性横断面研究,2018年共有500名学生参与。采用整群随机抽样的方法,在德黑兰北部、南部、东部、西部和中部5个阿扎德单位选择不同的大学和学院。学生就读艺术、人文科学、工程、基础科学等专业,专业为学士、学士学位。数据收集工具是研究人员制作的问卷。通过内容效度和面效度验证了其效度。采用测试-再测试法评估信度。数据分析采用SPSS 21版软件,采用描述性和分析性统计检验,如t检验和方差分析。结果:学生的平均知识与性别无显著相关(p = 0.434),态度、行为(风险、预防)与性别、知识有显著相关(p < 0.001),态度与婚姻状况有显著相关(p < 0.001),女性的态度、行为较好,已婚女性的知识、态度较好。ANOVA、Kruskal-Wallis检验和LSD检验显示,阿扎德大学的学生与他们所学的专业和知识之间没有显著差异。结论:需要对研究人群进行干预,以提高认识,改变态度,减少危险行为,并将性传播疾病教育纳入学术课程。另一方面,建议医科大学在社交媒体上建立有效的网站、博客和有效的渠道,因为学生反映互联网和社交媒体是获取性病信息的最常见方式,主要针对男生和单身学生,他们需要更多的教育和关注。通讯地址:Ali Mehri, Sabzevar医科大学健康教育与健康促进系,Sabzevar,伊朗,e-mail: hadimehri1386@gmail.com文章历史:收稿日期:18.04.2020收稿日期:26.11.2020收稿日期:05.03.2021可在线查阅:30.08.2021 Tahereh Kamalikhah, Mehran Akbari, Maede Parhode, Leila Sabzmakan, Razieh Khosrorad, Ali Mehri 202 HIV & AIDS Review 2021/第20卷/第3期性工作者[10]。来自东非的关于大学生性传播疾病知识的信息仍然很粗略。在喀麦隆,70%的大学生知道性传播疾病,但只有16.1%的大学生能说出常见性传播疾病的临床特征。大学生的性行为方式普遍滞后于对性病预防和安全套使用的知识和态度[11]。在伊朗,约30%的人口年龄在10-24岁之间,大多数性疏忽(55.6%)发生在16 - 21岁之间[12]。在一项针对伊朗年轻单身男性的研究中,超过四分之一的人有过性接触史。在马什哈德进行的另一项研究显示,在大学生生活的任何时期,婚前性行为的发生率为15%;男性33%,女性8%。另一方面,Farahani等人的一项研究表明,德黑兰大学的女本科生中某种类型的性关系的患病率更高,为23%。在伊朗,性传播感染的实际流行率远高于官方数据,并且与伊朗青年性生殖健康相关的少数记录研究表明,生殖健康知识水平很低[13]。伊朗政府决策者对向青少年提供生殖健康和性健康服务持怀疑态度,因为伊朗青少年生殖健康和性健康的概念尚不成熟,且存在争议[14]。在世界范围内,人们普遍认识到年轻人(25岁以下的人)患性传播感染的风险更大。研究关注的是来自可靠来源的建议和教育在预防学生高危性传播感染中的作用[15],而且大多数针对大学生的知识、态度和实践(knowledge, attitude and practices, KAP)研究关注的是HIV/AIDS,而其他性传播感染则被忽视了[16-18]。 由于预防艾滋病、衣原体、梅毒和人乳头瘤病毒这四种性传播疾病是国家规划之一,而社会对这些疾病的知识、态度和行为等相关变量的认知有助于更好地规划控制这些疾病,本研究旨在调查人口学变量与德黑兰伊斯兰阿扎德大学学生对这四种疾病的知识、态度和行为之间的关系。本研究是一项描述性横断面研究,于2018年5月对德黑兰伊斯兰阿扎德大学的500名男女学生进行了调查。德黑兰阿扎德大学表示,获得性传播疾病知识的最常见方式是广播(28.8%),其次是社交媒体(23.2%),获得性传播疾病知识的最低比例是广播,其次是卫生保健提供者和教授。HIV / AIDS Rev 2021;[j] .中国科学:地球科学
