dc.description.abstract | The emergency contraception pill (ECP) is a non-prescribed medication in Spain. However,
there is not enough evidence of its use among young people to define sex education contents. The
aims of this research were to describe the experiences of the use of the ECP in university students and
analyze their knowledge, attitude, and awareness regarding the ECP. The cross-sectional, analytic
study was conducted with nursing degree students at the University of Seville. A total of 478 students
answered the questionnaire. All of the students (100%) had heard about the ECP and had a positive
attitude towards this contraceptive. A total of 25.7% had used the ECP, mainly because a condom had
failed or because they did not use any contraceptive at all. Deficiencies in knowledge are related with
the ECPs’ mechanism of action, efficacy after repeated use, and the type of ECP available. Female
students who used no method at all or withdrawal, and who were over 20 years old, used ECP to a
greater extent (p < 0.005). Further education initiatives focused on the use of the ECP, its efficacy, and
typology are needed, particularly among future health professionals who will later educate other
young people. | es |
