Résumé
Cette étude visait à explorer la relation entre les connaissances et l’attitude des étudiants masculins à l’égard des contraceptifs d’urgence. Des questionnaires auto – administrés ont été utilisés pour recueillir des données auprès de 941 hommes interrogés qui étaient en deuxième, troisième ou quatrième année à l’Université du Ghana. Ces répondants ont été commodément échantillonnés dans les quatre collèges de l’Université du Ghana. En utilisant la théorie de la connaissance, de l’attitude et de la pratique, cet article examine les connaissances et l’attitude des hommes envers les contraceptifs d ’urgence. Bien que certains étudiants aient eu une attitude favorable et d’autres une attitude défavorable à l’égard des contraceptifs d’urgence, la plupart (82%) avaient une attitude mitigée envers les contraceptifs d’urgence. Les résultats de la régression logistique multinomiale ont montré que les étudiants qui appartenaient au College of Education étaient beaucoup plus susceptibles d’avoir une attitude favorable que défavorable envers les contraceptifs d’urgence. Étant donné que les hommes jouent un rôle actif dans les processus décisionnels en matière de santé génésique, il est important qu’ils soient impliqués dans tous les programmes de santé génésique. À long terme, cela contribuera à réduire les grossesses non désirées et non planifiées et, par la suite, les avortements provoqués à risque.
