摘要

本研究是以1,000位高職青少年為對象，探討青少年避孕行為意圖的預測因子。採用匿名式的問卷進行研究資料的收集，其中問卷內容包括：個人背景資料、性經驗、避孕知識、避孕態度、避孕自我效能、感受同儕避孕行為、感受重要他人對避孕的支持及親子避孕的溝通等量表。研究結果顯示有230位(23%)的青少男曾有性經驗，其中30位(13%)曾經有使女朋友懷孕的經驗。對於未來若有發生性行為時的避孕方法，有45%的青少男回答會使用保險套，其次則為保險套及安全期法(13.1%)合併使用。以逐步複迴歸分析顯示，有較好的避孕態度、較高的避孕自我效能、沒有性經驗、自覺同儕避孕行為較好及感受重要他人有較佳的避孕支持者，有較好的避孕行為意圖，且可解釋31.9%的總變異量。本研究結果可提供健康專業人員作為對青少男避孕衛教介入的參考。

This study explored the predictors of contraceptive intention in adolescent males in Taiwan. It used a cross-sectional design and a sample of 1,000 vocational high school male students to determine the potential factors associated with contraceptive intention. Data were collected on an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire, including personal background variables, prior sexual experience, contraceptive knowledge, contraceptive attitude, contraceptive self-efficacy, perception of peers’ contraceptive behavior, perception of support from significant others, and parental-adolescent communication about contraception. A total of 230 participants (23%) had prior sexual experience, 13% (30) of whom reported being involved in their girlfriends’ pregnancies. Of the participants, 45% recognized the use of condoms as the most favorable contraceptive method for future sexual intercourse. Second to condom use, the combination of the calendar method and condom use was also popular(13.1%).Multiple stepwise regression indicated that better contraceptive attitudes, higher contraceptive self-efficacy, no prior sexual experience, more perception of peers’ contraceptive behavior, and higher perception of support from significant others were predictors of higher contraceptive intention. The above predicting factors explained 31.9% of the total variance for contraceptive intention among adolescents. These results provide health professionals with important information to understand the reality adolescents encounter and to design effective contraceptive programs for male adolescents.
