一个横断面定性和定量的试点调查，使用自填式问卷和焦点小组讨论，进行了评估的必要性和可行性，在南非大学的大学生健康促进计划。我们研究了性别和文化对性态度和行为的影响，以及避孕套的使用。共有73名年龄在18至30岁之间的学生参加了试点调查。结果表明，与男性相比，女性更有可能禁欲，直到他们找到一个他们打算定居的伴侣。人们强烈认为，无保护的性行为可能导致怀孕和性传播感染。总的来说，参与者不确定使用避孕套是否有任何负面影响，尽管女性受访者认为避孕套影响了性交的乐趣。结果表明，有一个明确的需要健康促进计划，针对年轻人，谁上大学。该方案需要以提高一般健康知识为目标，针对大学生的健康促进和危险性行为。这种方案必须考虑到目标人口的性别、社会经济情况以及民族和文化背景。
A cross sectional qualitative and quantitative pilot survey, using self administered questionnaire and focus group discussions, was conducted to assess the need for, and feasibility of, a health promotion programme for university students at a South African University. We examined the gender and cultural effects on sexual attitudes and behaviour, as well as condom use. A total of 73 students, age’s between 18 and 30 years, participated in the pilot survey. The results suggest that females compared to the males are more likely to abstain until they find a partner with whom they intend to settle. There was a strong belief that unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy and STIs. Overall participants were not sure if condom use had any negative effects, although female respondents felt that condoms affect the pleasure of sexual intercourse. The results suggest that there is a clear need for health promotion programmes aimed at young adults, who attend university. The programme would need to aim at improving general health knowledge, targeting health promotion and sexual risk behaviour among university students. Such a programme would have to consider gender, socio-economic circumstances as well as national and cultural background of the target population.
