| Abstract (English): | Introduction: In the world, the increase in unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, Human Immunodeficiency Virus has been evidenced, focusing on the young and adult population for opting for risky behaviors in their sexuality, being a health problem public. Objective: To determine the factors associated with the use of condoms in young university students. Materials and methods: Observational cross-sectional study with an analytical component, with 677 university students from Palmira - Colombia. Univariate analysis of all the categorical variables (practices, attitudes, knowledge, availability, and accessibility) through frequency and percentage, as well as bivariate analysis including the use or not of the condom, with its corresponding probability value. The association was determined by the binary and multiple logistic regression models. Results: The average age was 20 years (sd: 3.1), 56.1 % were women, and 17% belonged to the Logistics Management Technology program. Regarding condom use, there was a prevalence of use of 29.5%. According to the results of the final model, men have 1.54 times the opportunity to always use a condom compared to women (or = 1.54, 95% CI: 0.95-2.49). Young people who do not have casual partners have a 71% lower chance of always using a condom (or = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.09-0.88). Conclusion: Condom use was associated with favorable attitudes, access, and availability, and was used more frequently by men and those with casual partners. These findings highlight the need for educational interventions to promote safe sex practices among young college students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: en el mundo se ha evidenciado el incremento de embarazos no planeados y enfermedades de trasmisión sexual y virus de inmunodeficiencia humana, sobre todo en la población joven y adulta, por conductas riesgosas en su sexualidad, lo cual es un problema de salud pública. Objetivo: determinar los factores asociados con el uso del preservativo en jóvenes universitarios. Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional de corte transversal con componente analítico con 677 jóvenes universitarios de Palmira (Colombia). Se realizó análisis univariado de todas las variables categóricas (prácticas, actitudes, conocimientos, disponibilidad y accesibilidad) a través de frecuencia y porcentaje, además de análisis bivariado, incluyendo el uso o no del preservativo, con su correspondiente valor de probabilidad. La asociación se determinó por modelos de regresión logística binaria y múltiple. Resultados: la edad promedio fue de 20 años (de: 3.1), el 56.1 % eran mujeres, el 17 % pertenecían al programa de Tecnología en Gestión Logística. Según los resultados del modelo final, los hombres tienen 1.54 veces la oportunidad de usar siempre el preservativo respecto a las mujeres (or = 1.54, IC 95%: 0.95-2.49). Los jóvenes que no tienen parejas ocasionales tienen un 71 % menor oportunidad de usar siempre el preservativo (or = 0.29, IC 95%: 0.09-0.88). Conclusión: El uso del preservativo se asoció con actitudes favorables, acceso y disponibilidad, los hombres y quienes tienen parejas ocasionales lo utilizan con mayor frecuencia. Estos hallazgos destacan la necesidad de intervenciones educativas para fomentar prácticas sexuales seguras en jóvenes universitarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Portuguese): | Introdução: no mundo, o aumento de gestações não planejadas, de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis e das causadas pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana tem sido evidenciado com foco na população jovem e adulta por optarem por comportamentos de risco em sua sexualidade, tornando-se um problema de saúde pública. Objetivo: determinar os fatores associados ao uso do preservativo em jovens universitários. Materiais e métodos: estudo observacional transversal com componente analítico, com 677 estudantes universitários do Palmira, Colombia. Foi realizada análise univariada de todas as variáveis categóricas (práticas, atitudes, conhecimentos, disponibilidade e acessibilidade) por meio de frequência e porcentagem, para além da análise bivariada, incluindo o uso ou não uso de preservativo, com o seu correspondente valor de probabilidade. A associação foi determinada por modelos de regressão logística binária e múltipla. Resultados: a média de idade foi de 20 anos (dp: 3,1), 56,1 % eram do sexo feminino; 17% pertenciam ao curso de Tecnologia em Gestão de Logística. De acordo com os resultados do modelo final, os homens têm 1.54 vezes mais chance de usar sempre preservativo em relação às mulheres (or = 1,54; IC 95%: 0,95- 2,49). Os jovens que não têm parceiros ocasionais têm uma oportunidade 71% menor de usar sempre o preservativo (or = 0,29, IC 95%: 0,09-0,88). Conclusão: O uso do preservativo está associado a atitudes favoráveis, acesso e disponibilidade, sendo utilizado com maior frequência por homens e por aqueles que têm parceiros ocasionais. Estes resultados destacam a necessidade de intervenções educativas para promover práticas sexuais seguras entre os jovens universitários. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
