Level of knowledge about sexually transmitted infections and risky sexual behavior in obstetrics students at the Norbert Wiener Private University-2023
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-01-19) Gutti Rodriguez, Caterine Yurubi; Benites Vidal, Elvira Soledad
The research aimed to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and risky sexual behavior among obstetrics students at the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener - 2023. A quantitative, basic approach was adopted, using a hypothetical-deductive method with an observational, correlational, non-experimental, and cross-sectional research design, analyzing a sample of 103 students. The survey was used as the technique and the questionnaire as the study instrument. The results reveal a correlation between the level of knowledge about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and risky sexual behavior in students. The Spearman correlation coefficient obtained was 0.321 with a significance level of 0.001 (bilateral), indicating a positive, low-magnitude correlation between these variables. Since the p-value (0.001) is considerably lower than the established significance level (α = 0.05), the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, thus validating the existence of a statistically significant relationship between the level of knowledge about STIs and risky sexual behavior in these university students from Lima. This correlation suggests that an increase in the level of knowledge about STIs is related, to some extent, to a better attitude towards risky sexual behavior in this group of university students in Lima.
