“…Interesting is the finding that alcohol use in the context of sex did not have a negative effect on contraceptive use, as other studies seem to find that alcohol use may lead to greater risk-taking behaviour including contraception non-use in casual relationships. 33 In agreement with other studies 14,23 , this study also found that lack of internal assets (among men low life satisfaction and lack of personal control, and among women low personal mastery) was associated with contraceptive non-use. This study found that among men poor mental health (PTSD symptoms) while not having depressive symptoms among women were associated with contraceptive non-use.…”

“…These country variations seem similar to those in population survey-based observations among never married 15-19 year old women and 15-24 year old men, where modern contraceptive non-use in Nigeria was among women 69% and men 58%, in India (women 82% and men 82%), in the Philippines 96% among women, and in Colombia 41% among women. 2 The study found, in agreement with other studies 10,14,15,17,18 , that younger age, a higher degree of religiosity or intrinsic religiosity and religious affiliation (Hindu and Muslim) were associated with contraception non-use. According to WHO 13 , reasons for a global unmet need for contraception particularly include young people and cultural or religious opposition.…”

“…13 Among university students factors associated with contraceptive non-use for women, men or both can be summarized as follows: 1) socio-demographic factors (younger age, lower educational level 10,14,15 , being male 16 , higher degree of religiosity 17,18 , high price of contraceptives 14 ); 2) Sexual behaviour (early sexual debut 10,16,19 , not previously pregnant 20 , more than one sexual partner in the past 12 months 20 , internet use (sex) 21,22 ; Psychosocial factors or internal assets (low locus of control, low personal initiative and assertiveness 14 , lack of life satisfaction 23 , and psychological distress 24,25 ), and 3) other factors (fear of side effects of modern contraceptives 7 , lack of exposure to healthcare worker talking about contraception 12 ).…”

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate contraceptive non-use and associated factors (socio-demographics, sexual behaviour, internal assets and mental health) among undergraduate university students in 22 countries. Methods: Using anonymous questionnaires, data was collected from 16979 undergraduate university students (mean age 20.8, SD=2.8) from 23 universities in 22 countries. Results: Of the total sample of 16979 undergraduate university students, 7032 (41.9%) reported to have been sexually active in the past 12 months. Of those who had been sexually active, 42.6% reported never (42.7% among male and 42.6% among female students) using contraceptives in the past 12 months. In multivariate regression analysis, among both men and women, younger age, religious affiliation (Hindu; and among women only being Muslim), intrinsic religiosity, and sexually protective behaviour were associated with contraceptive non-use. Lack of internal assets (among men, low life satisfaction and lack of personal control, and among women low personal mastery) ; among women not having depressive symptoms and among men having PTSD symptoms were associated with contraceptive non-use. Conclusion: Low contraceptive use was found and several factors identified as associated with contraceptive non-use may help guide intervention efforts.

“…Ispravan stav prema kontracepciji i znanje o kontraceptivnim metodama i reprodukciji, stečeni tokom adolescencije preduslovi su odgovornog polnog ponašanja u odraslom dobu [9]. Na korišćenje kontracepcije u adolescentnom dobu utiču brojne varijable, grupa socio-demografskih faktora koji utiču na primenu kontracepcije pre svega, skoro ekskluzivno, dominantni su u zemljama u razvoju, dok se psihološke varijable kao faktor (ne)upotrebe kontracepcije najčešće sreću u razvijenim zemljama [10].…”

Introduction Contraception is the most favourable method of family planning. Prevention of unwanted pregnancy has great significance, both as a measure of health preservation and as a wider preventive and social measure. Objective to evaluate how informed the adolescents are when it comes to contraception, as well as to evaluate their personal experiences. Methods the research was conducted in the form of a cross-sectional study. The research instrument was a questionnaire the adolescents were asked to fill, which contained questions constructed to assess how well they were informed about the importance of contraception as well as their personal experiences. The study included 120 students and the sample was intentional, as the study was conducted at the Faculty of Health and Business Studies in Valjevo, Singidunum University in April-May 2019. The participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous, and the research was approved by the authorities of the institution. Results the results were analysed using descriptive statistical methods. The respondents were between 19 and 23 years of age and predominantly female (83%), while only 17% were male. The majority of the respondents were well informed on the subject of mechanical contraception methods and the use of condoms. The condom was the most commonly used method of contraception during sexual intercourse (63%). A large number of respondents (40%) believed that adolescents could do with more information on the subject. Conclusion the research results indicate that there is a need for more education on the subject of the importance and methods of contraception. It is necessary to intensify health education in cooperation with health institutions, schools, higher education institutions and the entire community. This need is felt by the adolescents themselves, who believe that their peers do not know enough about contraception.

“…En España, la tendencia que se observa se relaciona con la disminución de la edad de inicio de las relaciones sexuales con penetración, mayor diversidad en el tipo de relaciones afectivo-sexuales, incremento en el nivel de conocimiento de métodos anticonceptivos y en el uso del preservativo 3 . Las causas que subyacen a las prácticas sexuales sin protección anticonceptiva son objeto de interés en la investigación 4 , ya que se siguen produciendo cifras importantes de embarazos no deseados reflejadas en las tasas de interrupción voluntaria del embarazo 5 , incluso en sociedades en las que no hay restricciones ni en la información ni en los servicios sanitarios orientados a la prevención del embarazo juvenil.…”

Este trabajo se ha realizado sin subvención. No existen conflictos de interés. RESUMENFundamentos: El embarazo no planificado (EnoP) sigue siendo un problema de salud pública. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer los comportamientos sexuales y prácticas contraceptivas relacionados con EnoP en las mujeres jóvenes.Métodos: 583 mujeres de edades entre 13 y 24 años, atendidas en una consulta de anticoncepción durante el año 2012. Variable dependiente: EnoP. Independientes: sociodemográficas, comportamientos sexuales y prácticas contraceptivas. Análisis bivariante, pruebas de chi 2 y t de Student. Análisis multivariante mediante regresión logística binaria.Resultados: 174 (29,8%) mujeres tuvieron un EnoP. El riesgo de EnoP aumentó en mujeres inmigrantes [OR: 2,858 (IC95%:1,808-4,519)], en las jóvenes con menor nivel de estudios (OR: 2,343 [IC95% 1,361-4,035]), en las que no utilizaron un método anticonceptivo seguro (todos menos el coitus interruptus) durante su primer coito (OR:3,043 (IC95% 1,900-4,875)], en las que manifestaron inconvenientes con el uso de los métodos anticonceptivos (OR: 2,092 [IC95% 1,267-3,454]) y en las que tuvieron asistencia irregular a la consulta (OR: 2,063 [IC95% 1,275-3,339]). No hubo relación con la edad (adolescentes/jóvenes). El modelo se consideró aceptable: Hosmer-Lemeshow no significativo y con un poder de discriminación del 77%.Conclusiones: Las variables predictoras de embarazo no planificado en mujeres jóvenes son: ser inmigrante, tener bajo nivel de estudios, no utilizar método anticonceptivo seguro durante el primer coito, manifestar inconvenientes con los métodos anticonceptivos y tener una asistencia irregular a la consulta de anticoncepción.Palabras clave: Embarazo no planificado.
