| Abstract (English): | Objective: To identify and describe the sexual practices and risks against STIs present in a group of university students in the city of Cali. Method: The study is non-experimental descriptive-type with probability sampling. A total of 110 young university students were surveyed, aged between 15 and 24 years. The information was collected by applying CCVSA Questionnaire, which inquired about the main sexual practices exercised by the university students, as well as the perception of risk from the presence of STIs. Results: Most students take risks associated with the use of preventive measures when they associate confidence and stability in the relationship. However, multiple sexual partners per year are reported, something that increases their chance of getting an STI. Conclusions: It is important to strengthen intervention strategies aimed at strengthening self-efficacy for making decisions that will generate self-care practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivo: Identificar y describir las prácticas sexuales y riesgos frente a las ITS presentes en un grupo de estudiantes universitarios de la ciudad de Cali. Método: El estudio es de tipo descriptivo- no experimental con un muestreo probabilístico, en total se encuestaron 110 estudiantes jóvenes universitarios con edades comprendidas entre los 15 y 24 años. La información se recogió mediante la aplicación del Cuestionario CCVSA, el cual indagaba sobre las principales prácticas sexuales que ejercen los universitarios, así como la percepción de riesgo frente a la presencia de ITS. Resultados: La mayoría de los estudiantes asumen riesgos asociados al no uso de medidas preventivas cuando asocian confianza y estabilidad en la relación de pareja, sin embargo se reporta múltiples parejas sexuales por año, aspecto que aumenta la posibilidad de contraer una ITS. Conclusiones: Es importante fortalecer estrategias de intervención orientadas al fortalecimiento de la autoeficacia para la toma de decisiones que permita generar prácticas de autocuidado.
