| Abstract: | ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to identify the level of knowledge and attitude towards sexually transmitted diseases among women attending Gynaec OPD in selected hospital at Perinthalmanna. A Cross sectional survey design was used among 61 women who attended Gynaec OPD in a selected hospital to identify the level of knowledge and attitude. In this study the frequency and percentage distribution of socio demographic variables, Karl Pearson Correlation coefficient and chi square analysis were used to identify level of knowledge and attitude, correlation between knowledge and attitude and association of selected socio demographic variables with knowledge and attitude regarding Sexually transmitted diseases. Analysis revealed that 24 (39.34%) women had poor knowledge; 37 (60.66%) women had average knowledge and none of the women (0%) had good knowledge. The mean knowledge score was 7.02 ± 2.46. Based on level of attitude, 25 (40.98%) had negative attitude, 9 (14.75%) had neutral attitude and remaining 27(44.26%) samples had positive attitude regarding sexually transmitted diseases. The obtained r value was -0.0737 with a p value 0.576 which shows that there was a weak negative correlation between knowledge and attitude of women regarding sexually transmitted diseases which was not statistically significant. It also reveals that there was a significant association between area of residence and knowledge of women about sexually transmitted diseases. The study concludes that majority of women had average level of knowledge and 40.98% had negative attitude (favorable attitude) towards sexually transmitted diseases. Keywords: knowledge, attitude, sexually transmitted diseases, women INTRODUCTION Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a major public health concern worldwide, affecting the quality of life and causing serious morbidity and mortality. They result from the multiplication of microbes in the genital tract after transmission through sexual routes and can manifest with a broad spectrum of symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic infections to diseases that may lead to infertility, cancers, and even death. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than one million STIs are acquired globally every day. STIs profoundly impact sexual and reproductive health worldwide. Over 30 different bacteria, viruses, and parasites can be transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Some STIs can also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Eight pathogens are linked to the highest incidence of STIs. Among these, four are currently curable: syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. The other four are incurable viral infections: hepatitis B, herpes simplex virus (HSV), HIV, and human papillomavirus (HPV).1 |
