University Students' Level of Knowledge After Online Sexual and Reproductive Health Education: A Quasi-Experimental Research

Öz

Objectives: Sexual/Reproductive Health (SRH) is a very important issue for university students in the young adult group. This study examined the differences in SRH knowledge levels between university students who wanted to participate in online SRH education and those who did not. Materials and Methods: Students enrolled at a university in the spring semester of the 2022-2023 academic year participated in the quasi-experimental research. The researchers selected the sample through non-probability sampling. The minimum sample size was calculated using the G-Power 3.1 software, and 180 students participated. The Introductory Information Form and Sexual Health Knowledge Test (SHKT) were used to collect data. The study was conducted using a pre-test, training, and post-test design. Results: Among the university students participating in the study, it was determined that the SHKT total score averages and the total score averages in the sub-subject groups were significantly higher in the training group (p<0.05). The study determined that the SHKT score averages of the university students in the group receiving education were negatively affected by the number of siblings, and the education level of their fathers had a moderately positive effect (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was observed that the level of sexual health knowledge of the students who received online sexual health education was higher than those who did not. As a result of the training series given from traditional information sources, it is predicted that the safe sexual behaviour skills of the students will increase and their risky and unhealthy sexual practices will decrease.
