| Popis: | Identifying condom use frequency and factors predisposing, facilitating and reinforcing its consistent use in college students.This was a cross-sectional analytical study involving multivariate analysis. The sample consisted of 397 students who were randomly selected using stratified sampling by faculty who had applied a computer-assisted survey entitled, "Recognizing my sexual health."33 % of the sample population reported routine condom use. The predisposing factors for regular condom use were the intention to use one and high self-efficacy regarding use with casual partners. Facilitating factors revealed that condom use with a habitual partner increased the opportunity to use it 19-fold. Being male was associated with its use regarding both predisposing and facilitating factors. It is worth stressing that, amongst there in forcing factors, considering that a condom intensifies pleasure by feeling protected was associated with its regular use as was the condom being accepted by friends. By contrast, abandoning condom use for other contraceptive methods reduced the probability of it being used usually by 60 %.Non-regular condom use in penile-anal intercourse and its displacement by other contraceptive methods provided clear evidence of young people's major concern concerning becoming pregnant rather than avoiding contracting an STI. Formulating and implementing programs simultaneously aimed at and placing equal emphasis on avoiding pregnancy and preventing HIV and other STI is recommended. |
