Aims

This study aimed to explore the attitudes of undergraduate health science students toward sexuality in individuals with intellectual disability (ID) in Indonesia.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was performed using the Indonesian version of Attitudes toward Sexuality Questionnaires in Intellectual Disability (ASQ-ID). This study involved 617 students in medical, psychology, and public health undergraduate programs.

Results

Among all participants (n = 617, male = 137, female = 480), the attitude towards self-control was found a significant difference among all three health science undergraduates (p = .01). The psychology students had the most favorable attitudes toward self-control compared to other students. The difference was found between medical and public health students and between public health and psychology students with p = .009 and p = .011, respectively. Religion was significantly affected for the non-reproductive sexual behavior subscale (p = .038). The religion was found to have significant effect on the attitude towards nonreproductive sexual behavior subscale (p = .038).

Conclusions

Results show that Indonesian undergraduate students majoring in the health sciences have varying attitudes toward sexuality in individuals with ID. Medical and psychology students have more favorable attitudes toward self-control, whereas public health students have less favorable attitudes. Their religion influencing the attitudes toward nonreproductive sexual behavior.

性是人类生活的基本组成部分。然而，智障人士的权利存在严重的不平等。

宗旨

本研究旨在探讨印度尼西亚健康科学本科生对智障 (ID) 个体性行为的态度。

方法

使用印度尼西亚版的智力障碍性行为态度问卷 (ASQ-ID) 进行了一项横断面研究。这项研究涉及医学、心理学和公共卫生本科课程的 617 名学生。

结果

在所有参与者（n = 617，男性 = 137，女性 = 480）中，发现所有三名健康科学本科生对自我控制的态度存在显着差异（p = .01）。与其他学生相比，心理学学生对自我控制的态度最积极。医学和公共卫生学生之间以及公共卫生和心理学学生之间的差异分别为 p = .009 和 p = .011。宗教对非生殖性行为分量表有显着影响 (p = .038)。发现宗教对非生殖性行为分量表的态度有显着影响 (p = .038)。

结论

结果表明，主修健康科学的印度尼西亚本科生对 ID 个体的性行为有不同的态度。医学和心理学专业的学生对自我控制的态度比较好，而公共卫生专业的学生则不太好。他们的宗教影响对非生殖性行为的态度。
