Knowledge level and associated factors about sexual and reproductive health rights among University of Gondar students, Gondar Ethiopia

Introducción: Los derechos a la salud sexual y reproductiva (DSSR) son básicos, y la capacidad de las mujeres para ejercerlos influye en lograr objetivos de desarrollo. Objetivos: Estimar indicadores de DSSR en mujeres de 20-29 años identificando factores asociados. Métodos: Con datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud Sexual y Reproductiva 2014-2015 se analizaron 1206 casadas/unidas (982 con demanda de planificación familiar, 1082 con hijos, y 978 usuarias de anticonceptivos), midiéndose la violencia conyugal en el último año, conocimiento sobre prevención del VIH, demanda satisfecha con anticonceptivos modernos, atención profesional al parto y autonomía. Se utilizó la regresión logística multivariada para probar asociaciones. Resultados: Padeció violencia conyugal 13.0%, tenía conocimiento sobre prevención del VIH 38.8%, satisfacía su demanda de planificación familiar con métodos modernos 62.0%; recibió atención profesional al parto 81.1%; y mostró autonomía 10.3%. Las oportunidades relativas ajustadas (ORa) de violencia conyugal eran mayores en mujeres que la justificaban ORa=1.92;IC95%:1.09-3.39); el conocimiento sobre prevención del VIH aumentaba con la escolaridad (ORa=1.13;IC95%:1.04-1.22); la satisfacción de la demanda con métodos modernos era menor si justificaban la violencia conyugal (ORa=0.42; IC95%:0.20-0.85) y mayor en aquellas con una mayor percepción de empoderamiento (ORa=2.33;IC95%:1.15-5.00). Las ORa de atención profesional en el último parto disminuyen cuando aumentaba la edad (ORa=0.72;IC95%:0.62-0.84), y era menor si experimentaron matrimonio infantil (ORa=0.43;IC95%:0.19-0.95). Las ORa de mayor autonomía resultaron menores en casadas (ORa=0.22;IC95%:0.10-0.47) y amas de casa (ORa=0.53;IC95%:0.28-0.98). Conclusiones: El ejercicio de DSSR y sus factores asociados constituyen desafíos al diseño de políticas públicas.AbstractIntroduction: Sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) are basic, and women capacity to exert them influence achieving development goals. Objectives: Estimate indicators of SRHR in women aged 20-29 years, identifying associated factors. Methods: A total of 1206 married/cohabitant women (908 with need for family planning, 1082 with children and 978 contraceptive users) were analyzed with data from National Sexual and Reproductive Health Survey 2014-2015. It was obtained the proportion of conjugal violence victims in the last year, with knowledge about VIH prevention, family planning needs satisfied by modern contraceptive methods, with professional care at delivery and with autonomy. Multivariate logistic regression was used to test associations. Results: The 13.0% of women suffered conjugal violence, 38.8% had knowledge about HIV prevention, 62.0% used modern contraceptives for satisfying family planning needs, 81.1% received professional care at delivery, and 30.7% made informed decisions about SRH. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for conjugal violence were greater when women justified violence (AOR=1.92;95%CI:1.09-3.39); knowledge about HIV prevention increases with schooling (AOR=1.13;95%CI:1.04-1.22); family planning met with modern contraceptives methods was lower, if they justified violence (AOR=0.42;95%CI 0.20-0.85) and higher in women with a higher empowerment perception (AOR=2.33;95%CI:1.15-5.00). The AOR for professional care at last delivery decrease with increasing age (AOR=0.72;95%CI:0.62-0.84) and was lower if they experienced child marriage (AOR=0.43;95%CI:0.19-0.95). The AOR for autonomy was lower in married women (AOR=0.22;95%CI:0.10-0.47) and housewives (AOR=0.53;95%CI:0.28-0.98). Conclusions: The exert of SRHR and its associated factors challenge public policies design.

Background. Young people are challenged with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) problems due to limited access to services and information. It contributes a high burden of sexually transmitted disease, unsafe abortion, and premature mortality, especially in low-income countries like Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed at assessing the SRH service utilization and associated factors among college students at West Arsi Zone in Oromia region, Ethiopia. Methods. Institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 519 randomly selected college students from January 01, 2019, up to April 30, 2019. Data were collected through self-administered pretested questionnaires. Data entry and analysis for descriptive and logistic regression models were performed by using SPSS (version 23). The result was declared as statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results. The utilization of at least one SRH service in the last twelve months was seen in 304 (58.6%) students. Mainly information and counseling (81.3%), voluntary testing and counseling for HIV (80.6%), condom service (37.2%), pregnancy test (35.5%), family planning services (33.2%), and abortion care services (26.0%) were most frequently utilized. The students’ aged between 20 and 24 years [AOR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.38–3.06], female students [AOR = 1.92, 95% CI: 1.30–2.82], those not living with family [AOR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.05–2.26], those who discussed about SRH with family/friends [AOR = 1.92, 95% CI: 1.31–2.82], and those who participated in school clubs [AOR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.19, 2.58] more frequently used SRH service compared with their counterparts. Conclusions. The utilization of SRH services was low when compared with other studies and needs improvements to tackle RH-related problems. It requires pertinent health education and the SRH club at higher educational institutions is crucial.
