Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Public Health
  • Psychology

Context:

  • Sexual autonomy is a critical aspect of young adult development.
  • Understanding factors influencing sexual autonomy in Korean college students is vital for public health initiatives.

Purpose:

  • To assess the level of sexual autonomy among Korean college students.
  • To identify demographic and experiential factors associated with sexual autonomy in this population.

Summary:

  • A descriptive survey of 1,865 Korean college students revealed a high overall sexual autonomy score (55.24/65).
  • Key factors influencing lower sexual autonomy included male gender, vague parental attitudes towards sex, being a first-year student, and limited experience with STD and pregnancy prevention.
  • Students reported higher autonomy in STD prevention and lower autonomy in discussing intercourse.

Impact:

  • Findings highlight the need for prioritized sex education programs targeting male students, first-year students, and those with limited prevention experience.
  • Results can inform the development of culturally relevant and effective sexual health interventions for Korean youth.
