A Comparative Study of Consistent and Inconsistent Contraceptive Users on Partner Communication, Perceived Contraceptive Control, and Sexual Autonomy: Mi Jong Kim, Hee Sun Kang; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2003;33(6):784-791. Published online March 28, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2003.33.6.784

Purpose

This study is to investigate the influencing factors in the consistent use of contraception methods by comparing consistent and inconsistent users on partner communication, contraceptive control perception, and sexual autonomy among married Korean women.

Method

This study consists of 243 married women living in Korea. A convenient sampling technique was used and data were collected by self report questionnaires from September 14, 2000 to October 20, 2000.

Result

Only 41.6% of women were using contraception methods consistently and the rest of them were using contraception methods inconsistently. Between the two groups, statistical significances were noted in sexual communication(t=-2.5, p=.01), perceived contraceptive control(t=-7.5, p=.00) and sexual autonomy(t=-3.1, p=.00). As for general communication, it was not statistically significant(t=-1.0, p=.31).

Conclusion

Family planning program advisors should recognize that intervention programs for the promotion of consistent contraceptive behavior should focus on the sexual communication, perceived contraceptive control, and sexual autonomy.

Structural Equation Modeling on Contraception Behavior of Unmarried Men and Women in Korea: Gender Difference: Shin Woo Hwang, Chae Weon Chung; J Korean Acad Nurs 2014;44(2):159-169. Published online April 30, 2014; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2014.44.2.159

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to test and validate a model to predict contraception behavior in unmarried men and women.

Methods

Data were collected from a questionnaire survey of 180 unmarried men and 186 unmarried women 20 years of age or over who had sexual relationships in the past 6 months. Participants were from Seoul, Kyunggi, Daegu, and Busan and data collection was done from February 19 to April 16, 2013.

Results

Model fit indices for the hypotheoretical model fitted to the recommended levels. Out of 15 paths, 11 were statistically significant in both. Predictors of contraception behavior in unmarried men and women were intention to use contraception and self-efficacy for contraception. Exposure to sexual content was directly significant to the intention in men only. Self-efficacy for contraception was affected by perceived threat of pregnancy and gender role attitude. In women, the two predictors were also significant except for the effect of exposure to sexual contents.

Conclusion

Results indicate that an intervention program which increases self-efficacy in unmarried men and women contributes to effective contraception behavior. In addition, proper sexual education programs using positive aspect of mass media can help develop active participation for contraception behavior.

A Study on Sexual Behavior, and Correlation between Knowledge of Contraception and Attitude of Contraception among University Students: Myung Haeng Hur, Hye Young Ahn, Eun Ah Kwak, Kyung Mi Kim, Ji Young Park, Jea Ill Ra Lee; Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing 2007;37(3):267-275. Published online April 30, 2007; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2007.37.3.267

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to describe sexual behavior and understand the correlation between knowledge and attitude of contraception and provide preliminary data to develop a sex education program.

Method

The subjects of this study were 400 university students. Data was collected from November 14 to 20,2005 by using structured questionnaires.

Result

The percent of subjects that experienced sexual intercourse was 32%. The respondents' score of knowledge of contraception was a mean score of 15.33 on a scale of 20 and there were significant differences in major departments, existence or nonexistence of sexual intercourse and sexual knowledge. The respondents' score of attitude of contraception was a mean score of 40.98 on a scale of 60 and there were significant differences in sex. There was no significant correlation between knowledge and attitude of contraception.

Conclusion

A sex education program that uses practical knowledge and attitude of contraception to prevent conception should be developed rather than the present sex education that only attaches schoolbook knowledge.
