Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to investigate associations between dimensions of self-concept and contraceptive and sexual practices amongst university youth. Participants were 295 university students, who answered a sociodemographic questionnaire which also contained questions related to contraceptive knowledge and practices, and the Self-Concept Scale (EFA). There were associations between contraceptive use and the ethic moral dimension, as well as preservative, which also were associated with the ethic-moral, social attitude, security and somatic dimensions. Keeping contraceptive conversation with a partner was associated with the ethic-moral and self-control dimensions, whereas the age of sexual initiation was associated with social receptivity. Reinforcement of ethic-moral values and the development of interpersonal skills may be important factors underlying the adherence to contraception amongst university youth. Buscou-se investigar se as dimensões do autoconceito diferem de acordo com as práticas contraceptivas e sexuais de jovens universitários. Participaram 295 universitários, que responderam a um questionário sobre dados sociodemográficos, conhecimentos e práticas contraceptivas e à Escala Fatorial de Autoconceito. Houve diferenças na dimensão ético-moral de acordo com o uso de contraceptivos, e nas dimensões atitude social, segurança e somático de acordo com a utilização do preservativo. As dimensões ético-moral e autocontrole apresentaram diferenças entre os jovens que relataram conversar com o parceiro, enquanto que a receptividade social diferiu de acordo com a idade da iniciação sexual. Conclui-se que o reforço de valores ético-morais e o desenvolvimento de habilidades interpessoais podem ser importantes para a adesão à contracepção entre jovens.
