Investigating the use of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services for young people by students from Schools of Nursing Assistants in Public Vocational Training Institutes (DIEK) of the Ministry of Health, and the degree to which they are satisfied. Cross-sectional study

Introduction: Sexual and reproductive health services allow access to modern contraceptive methods, reduce unwanted pregnancies, and eliminate the risk of STD / HIV disease. They are therefore an important factor in the efforts to improve the quality of life of young people and are therefore recognized as part of the goals of the Sustainable Development Agenda (SDG).
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the use and satisfaction of DIEK students of sexual and reproductive health services they visited.
Material and Method: This is a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of DIEK Nursing Assistant Students (N: 358) in Athens, who were attending adult education facilities during the 2018-2019 academic year and had or had not visited sexual and reproductive health services in a public and/or private setting. For the purpose of the study, a self-administered questionnaire was used, based on the directions of the Youth Friendly Sexual and Reproductive Health Services (SRHS) proposed by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). The questionnaire is free to use online and adapted to Greek circumstances. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25 statistical software.
Results: The study included 358 students of whom 9.78% (35 people) visited the public services. Of those, 45.7% (16 people) were 21-30 years old. Also 23.74% (85 people) had visited both the public and private sector, of whom 55.3% (47 people) were 31+. Also 35.47% (127 persons) had only visited a private gynaecologist, of whom 34.6% (44 persons) were aged 18-20 years. 31.01% (111 persons) had not accessed any services, 62.2% of those (69 persons) were 18-20 years old. Many of the participants, however were very satisfied with the services they had received from both the public and private sectors. But counselling on contraceptive methods, STD / HIV prevention and protection, and other aspects of sexual and reproductive health, such as body image and couple counselling, was not covered. Also, the participants were not encouraged to comment about the services they received at the point of reception. Finally, participants would have liked more time for counselling and to voice any personal concerns.
