Abstract
OBJETIVO: Avaliar o comportamento sexual de estudantes do sexo feminino do Setor de Ciências da Saúde da Universidade Federal do Paraná e do Setor de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná, Campus Cascavel. MÉTODOS: Participaram todas as estudantes matriculadas nos referidos setores, no mês de junho de 2001, com idade entre 18 e 24 anos completos, sendo que a amostra final foi constituída por 572 estudantes em Curitiba e 395 em Cascavel. Foram avaliados a idade, relacionamento familiar, religiosidade, participação em aulas de educação sexual, idade de início de atividade sexual, uso de métodos anticoncepcionais e preservativos, e número de parceiros para avaliar a conduta sexual. Sexo seguro foi definido pelo uso de preservativo em todas ou na maioria das relações sexuais pelas estudantes monogâmicas, incluindo as estudantes poligâmicas com uso de preservativo em todas as relações sexuais. Sexo inseguro foi definido pelo uso ocasional de preservativo pelas estudantes monogâmicas, e pelo não uso sistemático entre as estudantes poligâmicas. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário auto-respondido. A análise dos dados foi feita no SPSS, utilizando o teste do Qui-quadrado de Pearson e Yates, teste do p de Wilcoxon-Gehan, análise bivariada e regressão logística. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença significativa na conduta sexual de risco entre as estudantes e a cidade de estudo. Cerca de 50% das estudantes de 18 a 20 anos e 70% das de 21 a 24 anos tinham vida sexual ativa. A abstinência esteve associada a menor idade, maior freqüência a culto religioso e ao bom relacionamento das estudantes com os pais. A prática de sexo seguro esteve diretamente associada a menor idade e a morar fora da residência da família. Ter participado de aulas de educação sexual esteve associada a maior abstinência, mas não a sexo seguro, e a relação não se manteve na análise multivariada. CONCLUSÃO: Relacionamento familiar saudável e religiosidade estão associados à conduta de sexo seguro. É relevante a percentagem de estudantes que ainda têm uma conduta de sexo inseguro, mostrando que ser universitária e freqüentar cursos de ciências da saúde não são garantia de comportamento sexual seguro.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the sexual behavior of female students enrolled in the Department of Health Science of the Federal University of Paraná and the Department of Biological and Health Scienceof the State University of Paraná at the Cascavel campus. METHODS: All the female students, 18 to 24 years of age, enrolled in the above departments in June 2001 were included in the final sample comprised 572 students in Curitiba and 395 in Cascavel. The study evaluated age, family relationship, religiousness, participation in sex education classes and age at initiation of sexual activity. The use of contraceptive methods and condoms, as well as the number of partners, were variables used to evaluate sexual behavior. Safe sex was defined as the use of a condom by monogamous students in all or in the majority of sexual intercourse and the use of condoms by polygamous students during all sexual intercourse. Unsafe sex was defined as the occasional use of condoms by monogamous students and systematic non-use by polygamous students. The data was collected by a self-administered questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS and the Pearson and Yates chi-square test, the Wilcoxon-Gehan "p" test, bivariate analysis and logistic regression. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference in the risky sexual behavior between students and the city in which they were studying. Around 50% of the students aged 18 to 20 and 70% of those 21 to 24 years of age were sexually active. Abstinence was associated with lower age, greater attendance at religious services and a good relationship between the student and her parents. The practice of safe sex was directly associated with a lower age and living away from home. Participation in sex education classes was associated with greater abstinence but not with safe sex. This relation was not maintained after multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: A healthy family relationship and religiousness was associated with safe sexual practices. The percentage of students who still practice unsafe sex is considerable and these results show that being a university student in a health science course does not ensure safe sexual behavior.
