Abstract

This study examined the factors affecting the sexual autonomy of female university students to provide the basic data for developing an intervention program for sex education. The data was collected from 322 female college students and analyzed with a t-test and multiple regression using the SPSS 21.0 program. The significant factors of sexual autonomy were intercourse experience (${\beta}=0.115$, p=.040), sex knowledge (${\beta}=0.118$, p=.028), permissiveness of sexual violence (${\beta}=-0.290$, p<.001), and the perception of unwed pregnancy (${\beta}=-0.104$, p=.048). These factors explained 21.7% of the variance in sexual autonomy. In conclusion, there is a need to develop a sex education program to increase sexual autonomy considering the factors affecting sexual autonomy.

본 연구는 여대생의 성적 자율성에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여 여대생의 성 건강관리에 효과적인 중재프로그램을 개발하는 데 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 자료는 2014년 3월 10일부터 21일까지 여대생 322명으로부터 수집되었으며 수집된 자료는 t-test와 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 여대생의 성적 자율성에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사해본 결과, 성 경험 유무, 성지식, 성폭력 허용도, 미혼모 인식이 성적 자율성과 관련이 있는 요인으로 나타났다. 즉, 성 경험이 있을수록(${\beta}=0.115$, p=.040), 성지식 수준이 높을수록(${\beta}=0.118$, p=.028), 성폭력 허용도 수준이 낮을수록(${\beta}=-0.290$, p<.001), 미혼모에 대한 부정적 인식이 낮을수록(${\beta}=-0.104$, p=.048) 성적 자율성이 높은 것으로 예측되었으며 모형 설명력은 21.7%였다. 따라서 여대생의 성적 자율성에 영향을 미치는 성 가치관 중재변인들을 고려하여 효과적인 성교육 중재전략을 개발하여 적용하는 것이 필요하다.
