Abstract
- PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an educational program about reproductive health promotion on sexual knowledge and attitudes of university students. METHODS: The sample included 79 students of all grades from 3 universities in Korea. Data were collected from 8th to 11th of January, 2008 by using a structured questionnaire administered before and after the educational program. The data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 12.0 program. RESULTS: The students' scores on sexual knowledge increased, and attitudes toward sexuality changed at the completion of the educational program. The program was especially effective in 'physiology', 'contraception and abortion' and 'venereal disease and AIDS' among sexual knowledge, and in 'intercourse' and 'sexual morality' among sexual attitudes. CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that an educational program about reproductive health increases sexual knowledge and changes the sexual attitudes of university students.
