“…High scores indicated favorable attitudes toward abstinence. Cronbach’s alphas for the modified and original scales were 0.94 and 0.89, respectively [7], [31]. In this study, Cronbach’s alpha was 0.93 among Swazi high school students.…”

“…Premarital sex subjective norms were measured by a modified referent group norm of Sexual Behavior Scale [7], which consisted of 20 items measured on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from “strongly approve” (1) to “strongly disapprove” (5). Premarital sex subjective norms (kissing, light and heavy petting, sexual intercourse) were assessed in relation to four sub-domains (mother, father, culture, and friend norms) at five relationship levels (sex worker, casual partner, steady partner, lover, and fiancée).…”

BackgroundGlobal efforts in response to the increased prevalence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are mainly aimed at reducing high risk sexual behaviors among young people. However, knowledge regarding intentions of young people to engage in protective sexual behaviors is still lacking in many countries around the world, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa where prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus is the highest. The objective of this study was to test the theory of planned behavior (TPB) for predicting factors associated with protective sexual behaviors, including sexual abstinence and condom use, among in-school youths aged between 15 and 19 years in Swaziland.MethodsThis cross-sectional survey was conducted using a anonymous questionnaire. A two-stage stratified and cluster random sampling method was used. Approximately one hundred pupils from each of four schools agreed to participate in the study, providing a total sample size of 403 pupils of which 369 were ultimately included for data analysis. The response rate was 98%. Structural equation modeling was used to analyse hypothesized paths.ResultsThe TPB model used in this study was effective in predicting protective sexual behavior among Swazi in-school youths, as shown by model fit indices. All hypothesized constructs significantly predicted intentions for abstinence and condom use, except perceived abstinence controls. Subjective norms were the strongest predictors of intention for premarital sexual abstinence; however, perceived controls for condom use were the strongest predictors of intention for condom use.ConclusionsOur findings support application of the model in predicting determinants of condom use and abstinence intentions among Swazi in-school youths.

“…Lo anterior es congruente con el trabajo de Potard y colaboradores donde se afirma que las actitudes individuales son uno de los mejores predictores de la intención de uso del condón principalmente en las mujeres. 37 También se ha reportado que en mujeres de 19 y 25 años las actitudes positivas hacia el uso del condón y la negociación para su empleo son los mejores predictores de la utilización de ese anticonceptivo. 38 Adicionalmente, el presente estudio encontró una asociación entre la baja autoeficacia respecto al uso y la negociación del condón y tener necesidades insatisfechas en el tema de la anticoncepción.…”

“…Many of the avoidable problems in reproductive health (RH), such as unwanted pregnancy, abortion and its complications, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) take place during this stage of the lifespan. These challenges are as a result of many factors among which are the lack of access and utilization of services by adolescents; hence there have been concerns about adolescents' reproductive health [2]. One of the major issues in adolescents' lack of access and use of reproductive health services is providers' attitude.…”

This paper examines the perception of adolescents on the attitudes of providers on their access and use of reproductive health services (ARHS) in Delta State, Nigeria, with a view of assessing the impact of providers' attitude on the use of adolescents' reproductive health services in Delta State. The study adopted a survey design to collect primary data using questionnaires and focus group discussions (FGDs) from adolescents in a sample of schools. A sample size of 1500 respondents was taken from 12 schools in six Local Government Areas in three Senatorial Districts in Delta State, Nigeria. The locations of the schools were such that six each were in rural and urban communities respectively. The result from the study was that unfriendly attitudes of providers which keep adolescents waiting, inadequate duration of consultations, judgmental attitudes of some providers, lack of satisfactory services provision and lack of confidentiality will put off adolescents from accessing and using adolescents' reproductive health services irrespective of their sex, age, class, religion, residence, ethnic group, parents' education or income levels. The paper concludes that medical personnel take all these issues very seriously when dealing with adolescents to enhance access and use adolescents' reproductive health services in Delta State and indeed Nigeria.
