... The main source of income was also considered significant in this study, those who received enough money for use reported low use or disuse of the female condom compared to those who do not get adequate funding from home sought extra money from casual sex partners as this was revealed in focused group discussion. On further probing and analysis, it was revealed that the cost of purchasing the female condom was a barrier to the users; this is in line with the findings of (Mujanayi, et al., 2017;Mbelle, et al., 2017) [11,13] which indicated that the high cost of the female condom lowered its availability in shops and other places of sale. These results were replicated in a study by Mashanda-Tafaune in Botswana (Mashanda-Tafaune & Monareng, 2016; Koster, Bruinderink, & Janssens, 2015) [8,6] . ...

Introduction/The aim: The aim of this study is the assessment of sexual behavior and habits of medical and non-medical students in Belgrade. The research is designed as cross-sectional study conducted in the period from November until January 2016/2017. An anonymous and standardized questionnaire from the “National Health Survey” research protocol was used and variables of interest were added. A total of 1268 randomly selected students participated, from higher education institutions in Belgrade (College for Health Studies “Milutin Milankovic, Medical College of applied sciences in Zemun, Belgrade, Business Academy and Faculty of Security Studies in Belgrade). Results: Respondents from both groups almost had sexual relations with the opposite sex, although 2.2% of students of medical profession and 1.7% of non-medical profession had sexual relations with the same sex. Condoms are most often contraceptive measures used in both groups, (>40%). The most common reason for not using condom in both groups were partner's trust or reducing pleasure during intercourse (p<0.005 and p<0.851 respectively). Students of non-medical professions comparing to students of medical professions, on the second year of study (7.3% vs 5.5%), and on the third year of study (14.1% vs 2.4%) stated that the reason for not using a condom is the high cost. Conclusions: According to the obtained results, students of medical professions were prone to risky sexual behaviour, despite greater knowledge about reproductive health and risky sexual behaviors. There is a significant need for an evaluation of educational programs about sexual and reproductive health of students from all orientations.
INTRODUCTION: Youth are at high risk for reproductive health problems and adolescent health monitoring has entered a new routine during family medicine follow-ups Our study was planned in order to determine the students' knowledge level and educational needs on reproductive health who have just begun to Faculty of Nursing.
METHODS: A questionnaire was applied by face-to-face interview method to the students who had recently registered to Hacettepe University Nursing Faculty in the 2019-2020 academic year in this descriptive study. In the evaluation of the data, the mean and standard deviation for continuous variables and frequency table for qualitative data were used. The Chi-square test was used to test the relationship between qualitative data. Statistical analysis was done with the SPSS v.23 package program. RESULTS: 120 students were included in the study. The school (75.80%) was in the first place among students' sources of information on reproductive health. The most common contraceptive method was the pill (80.80%). The most common answer to the question of what sexually transmitted diseases are was the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (85.80%). The most wanted topic to learn was sexually transmitted diseases with 51.70%. There was no statistically significant relationship between students' age, gender, economic status, the school they graduated from, and their level of knowledge. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Young people don't have sufficient and correct knowledge about reproductive health. More attention should be given to planning their training. In addition, the family physician, who monitors adolescents between the ages of 10-21 and provides counseling services on reproductive health, plays an especially important role to acquire accurate and reliable information.
