“…Regarding social influence on university students' sexual behaviours, peer influences, including peer support, norms and modelling, were strongly associated with university students' sexual behaviour. This finding was also reported by several previous studies (Akter Hossen & Quddus, 2021;Mulugeta & Berhane, 2014;Tura et al, 2012). It implies that interventions seeking to promote abstinence from sex until marriage or delaying sex among university students may consider strategies that enhance favourable peer influence and mitigate peer pressure to practice sex.…”

“…Regarding the pre-motivational determinants of premarital sex, sexual cues were significantly associated with sexual behaviours among the study population. The observed association between the exposure to specific sex cues, such as watching pornographic movies or videos and reading erotic stories and sexual practices, was reported by other previous cross-sectional studies as well (Akibu et al, 2017a(Akibu et al, , 2017bAkter Hossen & Quddus, 2021;Bogale & Seme, 2014;Mulugeta & Berhane, 2014;Raheel et al, 2013). Nevertheless, longitudinal studies are needed to identify how reducing the exposure to these sex cues or mitigating their influence could influence students' sexual behaviours.…”

Sudan is one of the Islamic countries where extramarital sex is religiously forbidden and socially unacceptable. However, increasing numbers of university students become engaged in premarital sex practices, which increases their risk of contracting STIs, including HIV, and puts them into conflicts with their religious beliefs. As little is known about the motivations for abstinence from premarital sex, this study aimed to identify these psychosocial determinants. Using a cross-sectional design, a sample of 257 students between18 and 27 years old was recruited from randomly selected public and private universities in Khartoum. The participants filled out an online questionnaire based on the Integrated Change Model (ICM) to assess their beliefs and practices about abstinence from premarital sex. The analysis of variances (MANOVA) showed that the students who reported being sexually active differed significantly from abstainers in having more knowledge about HIV/AIDS, higher perception of susceptibility to HIV, more exposure to cues that made them think about sex and a more positive attitude towards premarital sex. The abstainers had a significantly more negative attitude towards premarital sex, higher self-efficacy to abstain from sex until marriage and perceived more peer support and norms favouring abstinence from sex until marriage. These findings suggest that promoting abstinence from sex until marriage among university students in Sudan, which aligns with the Sudanese religious values and social norms, requires health communication messages addressing these potential determinants. However, given that sexual encounters still may occur, health communication messages may profit from a more comprehensive approach by also addressing the need for condom use for those unwilling to refrain from sex.

“…In a recent study conducted in Bangladesh (2021), it was found that peer pressure was a risk factor for premarital intercourse among university students. 9 In addition, Alves et al 34 stated that having peers who use illicit drugs increased the risk of using illicit drugs. Also, previous studies showed that peer pressure had a significant effect on various risky behaviors.…”

Purpose: To examine the moderating role of resilience in the relationship between peer pressure and risky behaviors among nursing students. Design and Methods:A cross-sectional correlational study carried out with 512 students. Findings:The mean age was 20.90 ± 1.66. Of the students, 82.4% were females 99.0% were single, 71.5% had moderate socioeconomic status. While peer pressure directly made an effect on whole subdimensions for risky behaviors (p < 0.001), resilience had an effect on antisocial behavior, dropout, eating habits, and suicidal tendency (p < 0.001). Moderation was supported as the relationship between peer pressure and substance use varied by resilience level (p < 0.001).Practical Implications: Students with high levels of resilience are less prone to exhibit some risky behaviors based on peer pressure. Resilience-building strategies should be incorporated into the curriculum.

“…Sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan Hossen (2020) bahwa pengetahuan yang memadai tentang kontrasepsi remaja berhubungan positif dengan perilaku seks pranikah, dimana remaja dengan pengetahuan baik cenderung melakukan hubungan seks pranikah 2.3 kali lebih banyak dari remaja yang tidak berpengetahuan baik (95% CI: 1,455-3,639) 25 . Begitu juga penelitian yang dilakukan Wandasari pada daerah pedesaan dan perkotaan di Indonesia bahwa remaja yang menerima pengetahuan mengenai alat kontrasepsi justru melakukan hubungan seks pranikah dibandingkan remaja yang tidak menerima pengetahuan mengenai alat kontrasepsi (r=-0,003 dan r=-0,012) 40 .…”

Perilaku seks pranikah merupakan salah satu masalah remaja yang sedang menuju dewasa. Transisi sosial dan budaya yang mengakibatkan remaja rentan terpengaruh dampak negatif. Tujuan penelitian menganalisis determinan perilaku seks pranikah pada remaja pria (15-24 tahun) di Indonesia tahun 2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan sebagian data SDKI tahun 2017 dengan desain Cross Sectional. Populasi penelitian yang digunakan adalah remaja pria (15-24 tahun) di Indonesia. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 12.453 remaja pria. Analisis bivariate menggunakan Chi-Square dan analisis multivariate menggunakan regresi logistik berganda model prediksi. Perilaku seks pranikah pada remaja pria sebanyak 7,7%. Faktor yang berhubungan dengan perilaku seks pranikah pada remaja pria yaitu umur (POR=4,30;95% CI=3,63-5,10), pendidikan (POR=1,42;95% CI=1,19-1,69), status pekerjaan (POR=2,28; 95% CI: 1,93-2,70), status ekonomi keluarga (POR=1,32;95% CI: 1,09-1,59), pendidikan orang tua (POR=1,35; 95% CI: 1,02-1,77), pengetahuan kesehatan reproduksi (POR=1,47; 95% CI: 1,09-1,97), pengetahuan alat kontrasepsi (POR=0,42;95% CI: 0,34-0,51), sikap (POR=22,01;95% CI: 18,23-26,55), gaya berpacaran (POR= 59,27;95% CI: 35,95-98,26), dan pengaruh teman sebaya (POR=11,96;95% CI: 9,93-14,41). Faktor yang dominan tehadap perilaku seks pranikah remaja pria adalah gaya berpacaran (POR=20,51;95% CI: 12,13-34,69) artinya remaja pria dengan gaya berpacaran berisiko memiliki risiko 20 kali untuk berperilaku seks pranikah. Untuk itu perlu adanya peningkatan edukasi pada remaja mengenai dampak gaya berpacaran yang berisiko serta pergaulan yang salah.Kata Kunci: Perilaku Seks Pranikah, Remaja Pria, SDKI
