Item Conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre la doble protección anticonceptiva en estudiantes de la carrera de medicina de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato(Universdidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de posgrados, 2021-04-01) Aveiga Flores, Maricela Elizabeth Md.; Castro Acosta, Norma del Carmen Dra. Esp.One of the main reasons to use contraceptive methods is to avoid an unplanned pregnancy, very few take into consideration that they also need to prevent a Sexually Transmitted Infection. The use of double contraceptive protection is a form of safe sex, since through it an unplanned pregnancy can be avoided simultaneously, and a Sexually Transmitted Infection can be prevented. The objective of this research is: To determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices about contraception and how they influence the use of double contraceptive protection in students of the Medical School of the Technical University of Ambato. A study was carried out with a mixed approach: quantitative and qualitative, cross-sectional, field, the collection of information was carried out through an ethnographic survey applied to 230 students of the first, sixth and tenth semesters of the Medicine career. To determine the existence or not of independence, Pearson's Chi-square (x2) statistic was applied, the values of p <0.05 were considered significant. The results allow us to affirm that the level of knowledge about contraception possessed by medical students does not condition the preference or frequency of use of the double protection method. Regarding attitudes, these do not influence the use of double contraceptive protection; These results are maintained in all semesters of the study participants. While the practices on contraception and Sexually Transmitted Infection of first-semester medical students determine the preference or frequency of use of the double protection method. These results are not presented in the sixth and tenth semesters. Therefore, it can be concluded that knowledge and attitudes do not influence the use of double protection, while practices determine the preference or frequency of use of double contraceptive protection in first-semester students, but not in students. sixth semester and tenth semester.Item “Responsabilidad sexual en estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Enfermería, 2018-05-01) Melo Terán, Mireya Alejandra; Analuisa Jiménez, Eulalia Isabel Lic., Mg.Currently young people are exposed to a high vulnerability in the exercise of their sexuality by not assuming a responsible sexual behavior with the use of methods of contraception that not only avoid unwanted pregnancies but the contraction of diseases, reason for which the present project had the objective of evaluating the knowledge of the students of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Technical University of Ambato on sexual responsibility. For the development of the research, a bibliographical-documentary, field, observational and descriptive methodology was used that included 297 students of the Faculty of Health Sciences who were administered a survey on sexual responsibility. As a result of the research it was identified that the majority of the students of the Faculty of Health Sciences do not apply a sexual responsibility, because even though 71.2% initiated their sexual relations between 16 and 19 years of age and 63.3% are sexually active, they say they do not use contraceptive methods or if they do so it is rarely, a situation that puts them at risk in the case of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. So it is concluded that the knowledge on sexual responsibility that the students of the Health Sciences Faculty of the Technical University of Ambato have are insufficient to carry out a responsible sexual life that implies the decision making and safe behaviorsItem “Conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre salud sexual y reproductiva relacionadas al embarazo en adolescentes de 14 a 19 años que acuden al centro de salud n.2 de la ciudad de Ambato durante el período marzo - agosto 2014.”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Medicina, 2014-11-01) Herrera Lozada, Alexandra Elizabeth; Estenoz Álvarez, Maggy Dra.Objective: To determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices on sexual and reproductive health related to pregnancy in adolescents aged 14 to 19 who come to the health center N.2 Ambato city during the period March - August 2014.
