Abstract
This study aimed to identify the relationships of college students’ contraceptive practice with their sexual knowledge, sexual attitude, and optimistic bias of venereal disease, and to identify the influencing factors on it. 148 students in a university participated in the study. Contraceptive practice showed positive correlations with sexual knowledge, pleasurable sexual attitude, and responsibility sexual attitude. Stepwise multiple regressions identified sexual knowledge and pleasurable sexual attitude as the influencing factors on contraceptive practice, but with a low testing power of 15.6%. We found that high sexual knowledge and positive sexual attitude lead to better practice for contraception. However, as the degree of influence was low, further research to identify the influencing factor on contraceptive practice is needed. On the other hand, the sexual education of college students needs to provide more concrete methods besides condom for contraceptive practice including the use of various instruments such as emergency contraceptive drug for more effective results.
