Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the relationship between the incidence rate of sexual behavior and childhood abuse among students in a university in Chongqing and to provide suggestions for sexual education in college. Methods Using convenience sampling, a total of 2 504 college students from a university in Chongqing were selected and completed the Sexual Behavior Questionnaire and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of childhood abuse on the incidence rate of sexual behavior. Results The prevalence of sexual behavior among college students was 16.6%. Significant difference were found in the prevalence of sexual behavior across various characteristics (both P < 0.05). Sexual behaviour was more prevalent in men (25.5%) than that in women (9.8%), and higher in second and third-year student (19.1%, 20.9%) than first-year students (10.9%). Students from urban areas (19.5%) and those studying physical majors (44.5%) showed higher rates than those from rural areas (14.7%) and those in arts, science and fine arts majors (8.9%, 10.7%, 18.8%). Students who had experienced physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect during childhood exhibited higher prevalence (23.9%, 31.5%, 20.4%, 21.1%) than those who had not (16.2%, 15.6%, 15.7%, 15.0%). Childhood sexual abuse (OR=1.137, 95% CI: 1.005-1.221) and emotional neglect (OR=1.036, 95% CI: 0.944-1.039) were positively associated with the prevalence of sexual behavior. Conclusions Colleges should carry out sexual education that consider the influence of childhood abuse on sexual behavior, aiming to guide students to avoid coping with the negative impact of childhood abuse through sexual behavior.
