- Abstract
- Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the
knowledge of, attitude toward, and intention to use
Emergency Contraceptive Pills (ECPs) and their relationships
among Korean high school girls. Methods: This study
is a cross-sectional correlational survey. Data were collected
from 191 high school girls by self-report questionnaires
from December 10 to 22, 2008. Result: The mean scores of
knowledge, attitude, and intention were 4.74 (range 1 to 12),
2.60 (range 1 to 5), and 3.36 (range 1 to 5) respectively. Only
45% of participants had received education on ECPs and
most respondents (77.5%) wanted to know more about it.
Participants who had a more positive attitude toward ECPs
had a greater intention to use it. Participants who had received
education on ECPs had more knowledge than those
who had not received education. However, there were no
differences in attitude or intention between groups.
Conclusion: This study indicates that efforts should be
made to provide education on ECPs to high school girls to
increase awareness and to minimize the misuse of ECPs.
Also, educational programs should be designed to improve
knowledge as well as promote a more positive attitude toward
ECPs.
