目标。背景：影响中国农民工生殖健康行为的社会心理变量的研究仍然有限。设计：横断面、描述性和相关性设计。参与者：广东某工厂的190名年轻女工。中国大陆有代表性的工厂基地城市，自愿参与研究，回复率为63%。数据通过自我管理的问卷收集，包括社会人口统计表、避孕知识量表和避孕态度量表。采用Pearson积差相关系数检验避孕知识与避孕态度的关系，显著性水平为p < 0中心点0.05。与以往对台湾青少年和香港妇女堕胎的研究相比，中国农民工的避孕知识和避孕态度较低。调查对象的避孕知识与避孕态度虽呈弱相关（r = 0中心点276，p < 0中心点001）。被调查对象的年龄、受教育程度和工作经验与避孕知识有显著正相关。结论：本研究发现，与台湾和香港的青少年妇女相比，年轻的中国农民工有更高的性风险。报告指出了对这些年轻妇女进行生殖健康，特别是避孕及其使用方面的早期教育干预。与临床实践相关。内地外来女工对避孕的认识和态度较差，尤其是年轻、单身和受教育程度较低的群体。需要加大努力，促进年轻移徙妇女对避孕和性健康的知识和态度。
Aims.The aims of this paper were to determine the level of knowledge and attitude of contraception and their relationships among Chinese migrant woman workers.Background.Studies on psychosocial variables that lead to reproductive health behaviours among Chinese migrant woman workers in China remain limited.Design.A cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational design.Participants.One hundred and ninety young woman workers of a factory in Guangdong, a representative city of factory base in mainland China, voluntarily participated in the study with a response rate of 63%.Methods.Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires consisting of a socio-demographic sheet, the Contraceptive Knowledge Scale and the Contraceptive Attitude Scale. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient test was employed to examine the relationships between the contraceptive knowledge and attitude, with level of significance set at p < 0 center dot 05.Results.The Chinese migrant woman workers demonstrated lower contraceptive knowledge and less favourable contraceptive attitude compared with previous studies of adolescents in Taiwan and women seeking abortion in Hong Kong. Although it was a weak correlation, contraceptive knowledge was statistically associated with contraceptive attitudes among the respondents (r = 0 center dot 276, p < 0 center dot 001). Respondents' age, education level and working experience were significantly positively correlated with the contraceptive knowledge.Conclusions.Young Chinese migrant workers reported in the current study are found to be at higher sexual risk, when compared to the adolescents in Taiwan and Hong Kong women seeking abortion. Early educational intervention for reproductive health in particular contraception and its usage to these young women is indicated.Relevance to clinical practice.Migrant woman workers in mainland demonstrated poor knowledge and unfavourable attitudes towards contraception, especially for the younger, single and less educated group. Greater effort is necessary to promote young migrant women's knowledge and attitude towards contraception and sexual health.
