Purpose: This study was done to develop a Web-based preconception health promotion program to improve preconception health promotion awareness, perceived benefits, perceived self-efficacy and health behavior, and to reduce perceived barriers in couples about to be married. Methods: Participants were assigned to the experimental group (n=26 couples) or control group (n=25 couples). This program was comprised of a six hour Web-based lecture series which was given to the experimental group over a four week period. Results: Results for the two groups showed: 1) a significant difference in preconception health promotion awareness in men (self-perception: z=-3.62, p <.001 content: F=18.49, p <.001) and in women (self-perception: z=-2.89, p =.004 content F=36.93, p <.001), 2) a significant difference in perceived benefits in men (z=-3.09, p =.002), and in women (F=6.38, p =.004), 3) a significant difference in perceived barriers in men (F=3.64, p =.030), and in women (F=11.36, p <.001), 4) a significant difference in perceived self-efficacy in men (F=12.16, p <.001), but no significant difference in women (F=1.93, p =.166), 5) a significant difference in health promoting behavior in men (F=16.31, p <.001), and in women (F=10.99, p =.001). Conclusion: The results of this study show that the program is an effective nursing intervention in couples about to be married. Therefore, this program can be useful in encouraging health-promoting behavior for couples about to be married. (Table 1). 2) 웹 기반 프로그램 제작 및 운영

“…Several researchers have studied STI status among adolescents internationally and evaluated related causes and socio‐psychological factors, including research on awareness and knowledge of sexually transmitted disease among school‐going adolescents in Europe (Samkange‐Zeeb, Spallek, & Zeeb, ), the correlation between alcohol dependence and STI risk in New Zealand (Boden, Fergusson, & Horwood, ), STI risk factors for different genders and ages (Latimore et al., ), and family influences on adolescent condom use and STI likelihood (Kao & Manczak, ). Research on STIs in Korean adolescents has included studies on the relationship between awareness and knowledge of STIs and condom use among male college students and the current state of birth control methods and STI rates among college students (Ahn et al., ; Park, Lim, Lee, & Han, ). Another study using data from the 2012 eighth annual Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web‐based Survey (KYRBWS‐VIII) analyzed factors affecting STI experience among middle school students (Gwon, ), and the same data were used to research associations between adolescent Internet pornography preference and risky sexual behaviors (Cho, ).…”

Drug experiences, Internet pornography preference, and age at first intercourse were strong factors that affected both male and female students, suggesting the necessity to reinforce laws and regulations prohibiting drug use and pornography. Moreover, precise and detailed information on intercourse, sexual behaviors, and STIs offered by public health nurses should be officially provided starting in elementary school. For male students, the practice of condom use should be emphasized.

“…The four types of contraceptive methods (condoms, oral contraceptive pills, and the withdrawal and rhythm methods) were chosen to measure contraceptive intentions for this study because those were the most popular contraceptive methods in the young and the general Korean population [ 1 , 11 , 16 ]. Therefore, other methods such as an intrauterine device (long-acting contraceptive) or non-oral hormonal types of contraception were excluded from this study.…”

“…This means that ECP were used more by Korean university students than by adolescents, but it also appears that ECP cannot be considered as a convenient method of contraception for Korean university students. Meanwhile, four types of contraceptive methods were found to be most frequently used by Korean university students: condoms, the withdrawal method, oral contraceptive pills, and the rhythm method [ 11 ]. To date, little research has been performed on ECP awareness in Korean university students.…”

“…Subsequently, it will be possible to confirm the expanded role of ECP awareness in Korean university students’ contraception use or intentions, which would be helpful in planning contraceptive education for these students. A sex-specific examination should be considered to identify the associations between ECP awareness and contraceptive intentions because the studies have confirmed sex differences in ECP awareness [ 2 , 4 , 5 ], and the effect of men on communicating contraceptive choices were significant [ 11 , 14 – 16 ].…”

BackgroundAwareness of emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) associated with an intention to use other contraceptive methods has rarely been investigated. This study compared the ECP awareness of males and females and its associations with intention to use four other contraceptive methods (condoms, oral contraceptive pills, and withdrawal and rhythm methods) in unmarried university students in Korea. This study explores the importance of ECP awareness in university students’ contraceptive education.MethodsA descriptive cross-sectional study design was employed, in which 1372 unmarried university students (men, n = 755, women, n = 617) answered a Web-based survey. Sex differences in ECP awareness and four contraceptive intentions, and associations between ECP awareness and contraceptive intentions between sex were analysed using independent t-tests and χ2 test. Variables yielding significant associations with contraceptive intentions (p < 0.05) were included in a logistic regression using the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) to estimate the impact of ECP awareness on students’ contraceptive intentions.ResultsAwareness of ECP was found in 88.2 % of participants, which was generally positive. There were significant sex differences in some ECP awareness and students’ contraceptive intentions, and in the associations between previous ECP use and ECP awareness between male and female university students. In men, the belief that “ECP can cause sex with multiple partners” was associated with intention to use the rhythm method (AOR = 1.61, 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.02–2.56). For women, the belief that “ECP is necessary in case of condom breakage” was associated with intention to use the withdrawal (AOR = 058, 95 % CI = 0.37–0.93) or rhythm (AOR = 0.36, 95 % CI = 0.16–0.84) methods, and “ECP should be prescribed by a doctor” was associated with the intention to use the rhythm method (AOR = 0.45, 95 % CI = 0.26–0.77).ConclusionsECP awareness was associated with the intentions of students to use withdrawal or rhythm methods. The sex-specific approach in the examination of students’ contraceptive intentions and their determinants was helpful.
