| description | Objective: This study aimed to assist college healthcare providers with patient communication by determining the relationship terminology commonly used by college students.
Participants: A total of 17 female college students participated in four focus groups across two Universities. Participants were primarily white (71%) and heterosexual (88%). Data collection was completed in April 2013.
Methods: Focus groups were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcriptions, notes, and additional discussion summaries were reviewed, coded, and analyzed using NVivo software (v10).
Results: Four over-arching themes emerged from the data, each with specific attachment characteristics, sexual behavior attributes, and terminology: No Commitment, Casual Commitment, Partial Commitment, and Full Commitment.
Conclusions: The results of this study support other research that identify young adult sexual terminology as vastly differing from the clinical terminology used by healthcare professionals. However, this was the first study to discuss specific terminology across the relationship spectrum. |
