Abstract
El incremento de enfermedades de transmisión
sexual y el descenso del uso del preservativo masculino
en jóvenes heterosexuales hacen necesario estudiar
los comportamientos de uso del preservativo y
los factores asociados. Este trabajo tiene como objetivos:
estudiar los comportamientos sexuales y su relación
con variables sociodemográficas; examinar las
diferencias intrasujetos; analizar si la autoeficacia, las
perspectivas temporales y la conducta de uso se relacionan
con las características sociodemográficas y los
comportamientos sexuales. La muestra está formada
por 333 personas heterosexuales de 18 a 30 años. Se
evidencia un comportamiento sexual más igualitario
entre mujeres y hombres, aunque los hombres realizan
más conductas de riesgo. Se constatan comportamientos
de uso del preservativo diferentes en función
de si la relación sexual se mantiene con pareja estable
u ocasional. Una mayor autoeficacia y orientación al
futuro contribuyen al sexo seguro. Una mayor orientación
al presente se asocia con prácticas inseguras.
Se perfilan las líneas de actuación a seguir en las intervenciones
sobre sexo seguro.
The increase in sexually transmitted diseases and the decline in male condom use among young heterosexuals make it necessary to study condom use behaviours and associated factors. The objectives of this study are: to study sexual behaviours and their relationship with socio-demographic variables; to examine intrasubject differences; to analyse whether self-efficacy, time perspectives and use behaviour are related to socio-demographic characteristics and sexual behaviours. The sample consists of 333 heterosexuals aged 18-30. There is evidence of more equal sexual behaviour between women and men, although men engage in more risky behaviours. Condom use behaviour differs depending on whether the sexual relationship is with a regular or occasional partner. Higher self-efficacy and future orientation contribute to safer sex. A greater orientation towards the present is associated with unsafe practices. The lines of action to be followed in safer sex interventions are outlined.
