Resumo: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1 million new sexually transmitted infections (STIs) occur daily. However, these are considered a worldwide public health problem. In Brazil, cases of STIs have grown, especially among young people. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level of knowledge of young university students about STIs. The research universe consisted of 154 young people aged between 18 and 29 years old, who answered an online and self-applied questionnaire. A booklet and a folder were made available to participants to guide them about STIs. In most questions, general knowledge of the participants was observed. However, regarding indirect forms of transmission, participants showed a lack of knowledge when compared to forms of direct transmission, which are more publicized. As well as an obscurantism regarding some forms of clinical manifestation, and some STIs. In addition, a significant portion of the participants showed embarrassment when talking about the subject. And despite the majority claiming to be safe for sex life with prior knowledge, most participants said they would like to receive more information about STIs.

Sin embargo, estos se consideran un problema de salud pública mundial. En Brasil, los casos de ITS han aumentado, especialmente entre los jóvenes. Por tanto, este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el nivel de conocimiento de los jóvenes universitarios sobre las ITS. El universo de investigación estuvo formado por 154 jóvenes de entre 18 y 29 años, que respondieron un cuestionario online y autoaplicado. Se puso a disposición de los participantes un folleto y una carpeta para orientarlos sobre las ITS. En la mayoría de las preguntas se observó un conocimiento general de los participantes. Sin embargo, con respecto a las formas de transmisión indirecta, los participantes mostraron un desconocimiento en comparación con las formas de transmisión directa, que son más publicitadas. Así como un oscurantismo con respecto a algunas formas de manifestación clínica y algunas ITS. Además, una parte importante de los participantes mostró vergüenza al hablar sobre el tema. Y a pesar de que la mayoría afirma ser segura para la vida sexual con conocimientos previos, la mayoría de los participantes dijeron que les gustaría recibir más información sobre las ITS.De acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) diariamente ocorrem cerca 1 milhão de novas infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (ISTs). Contudo, estas são consideradas um problema de saúde pública de âmbito mundial. No Brasil, casos de ISTs têm crescido, sobretudo entre os jovens. Sendo assim, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o nível de conhecimento de jovens universitários sobre as ISTs. O universo da pesquisa foi composto por 154 jovens entre 18 a 29 anos, os quais responderam a um questionário online e auto aplicado. Foram disponibilizados, uma cartilha e um folder, aos participantes com intuito de orientá-los sobre as ISTs. Na maioria das questões foi observado conhecimento geral dos participantes. No entanto, em relação às formas de transmissão indiretas, os participantes mostraram falta de conhecimento quando comparadas às formas de transmissão direta, as quais são mais divulgadas. Assim como também foi observado um obscurantismo quanto à algumas formas de manifestação clínica, e algumas ISTs. Além disso, uma parcela significativa dos participantes demonstrou constrangimento ao falar sobre o assunto. E apesar, da maioria afirmar estar segura para a vida sexual com o conhecimento prévio, grande parte dos participantes afirmou que gostaria de receber mais informações sobre as ISTs.Research, Society and Development2021-07-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1807710.33448/rsd-v10i9.18077Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 9; e31210918077Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 9; e31210918077Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 9; e312109180772525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/18077/16180Copyright (c) 2021 Lara Evangelista Orlandi; Adriano Rodrigues; Natália Galvão Garciahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOrlandi, Lara EvangelistaRodrigues, Adriano Garcia, Natália Galvão2021-09-12T14:28:06Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/18077Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:38:17.206206Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
