Resumo:
Doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST) são a principal causa global de doença aguda e morte e representam elevado custo socioeconômico. Universitários são altamente expostos. A pesquisa desenvolvida na Unicamp teve como objetivo quantificar e gerar autopercepção do (des)conhecimento sobre as DST, além de avaliar o interesse em uma disciplina sobre o tema. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi o questionário enviado eletronicamente aos graduandos do final de 2011 e aos alunos recém-ingressos em 2012. Responderam o questionário 1.448 veteranos e 371 calouros. Não tinham tido atividade sexual 20% dos veteranos e 38% dos calouros. Dos alunos que já haviam tido, 26,9% não tinham parceria fixa e 28,2%, mais que duas parcerias/ano. O preservativo foi usado por 99% dos alunos, mas menos de 20% deles faziam uso adequado. Cerca de 80% não sabiam que o preservativo não protege fora da área de barreira; pretendiam ler mais sobre DST e aprenderam algo sobre o assunto. Quase a metade julgou que uma disciplina deveria ser oferecida a todos os graduandos. Estes dados serão úteis para definir estratégias de prevenção e o instrumento didático poderá ser utilizado em outros ambientes de ensino.
STDs are global major cause of acute illness and death and represent high socioeconomic cost. Undergraduate students are highly exposed to them. The research developed at UNICAMP aimed to quantify and generate perception of (un)knowledge about STDs, besides to evaluate the interest of the students in a course about this subject. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire sent electronically to undergraduate students at the end of 2011 and to freshmen in 2012. The questionnaire was answered by 1,448 seniors and 371 freshmen. Twenty percent of seniors and 38% of freshmen had no sexual activity. Among students sexually active, 26.9% had no regular partner and 28.2% more than two partners / year. The condom was used by 99% of students, but less than 20% of them made proper use. About 80% of them did not know that condoms do not protect the outside barrier area; wanted to read more about STDs and learned something about the subject. Nearly half of the students felt that a course should be offered to all undergraduates. Our findings will be useful to help define strategies for prevention and the teaching tool might be used in other learning environments.
