Abstract Seksualnost je široki pojam koji se odnosi na sve aspekte toga da netko jest i da se osjeća seksualno. Pod bihevioralnu domenu seksualnosti spada rizično seksualno ponašanje, ponašanje koje može dovesti do neželjene trudnoće ili spolno prenosivih bolesti. Bitna komponenta koja se veže uz bihevioralnu dimenziju je i znanje o spolno prenosivim bolestima kao aspekt seksualnog zdravlja. Prema rezultatima dosadašnjih istraživanja, žene imaju više znanja o spolno prenosivim bolestima, kao i manju tendenciju upuštanja u rizična seksualna ponašanja od muškaraca. Također, pokazano je da deficit znanja o spolno prenosivim bolestima može utjecati na seksualno ponašanje mladih te ih izložiti riziku. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos rizičnog seksualnog ponašanja studenata u Hrvatskoj i njihovog znanja o spolno prenosivim bolestima. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 1928 sudionika. Istraživanje je provedeno putem platforme PsyToolKit, a sudionici su ispunjavali Upitnik sociodemografskih podataka, Upitnik seksualnog rizika i Test znanja o spolno prenosivim bolestima. Utvrđeno je da se žene više upuštaju u rizična seksualna ponašanja te uključuju u rizična seksualna djela u usporedbi s muškarcima, dok muškarci imaju veću namjeru za angažmanom u rizičnim seksualnim ponašanjima nego žene. Nisu utvrđene statistički značajne rodne razlike u preuzimanju seksualnog rizika s neobaveznim partnerima, impulzivnim seksualnim ponašanjima, rizičnim analnim seksualnim ponašanjima/djelima i znanju o spolno prenosivim bolestima. Računajući povezanost varijabli, kada je riječ o ženama, utvrđeno je da se s višom razinom znanja o spolno prenosivim bolestima, povećava i količina preuzimanja seksualnog rizika s neobaveznim partnerima, rizičnih seksualnih djela i ukupnog rizičnog seksualnog ponašanja, no nije utvrđena statistički značajna korelacija impulzivnih seksualnih ponašanja, namjere za angažmanom u rizičnim seksualnim ponašanjima i rizičnih analnih seksualnih ponašanja sa znanjem o spolno prenosivim bolestima. Kada je riječ o muškarcima, utvrđeno je da se s porastom znanja o spolno prenosivim bolestima, povećava i količina preuzimanja seksualnog rizika s neobaveznim partnerima i rizičnih analnih seksualnih ponašanja, no nije utvrđena statistički značajna povezanost ukupnog rizičnog seksualnog ponašanja, rizičnih seksualnih djela, impulzivnih seksualnih ponašanja i namjere za angažmanom u rizičnim seksualnim ponašanjima sa znanjem o spolno prenosivim bolestima.
Abstract (english) Sexuality is a broad term that refers to all aspects of someone being and feeling sexual. The behavioral domain of sexuality includes risky sexual behavior, behavior that can lead to unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. An important component associated with the behavioral dimension is also knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases as an aspect of sexual health. According to the results of previous research, women have more knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases, as well as a lower tendency to engage in risky sexual behaviors than men. It has also been shown that a lack of knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases can affect young people's sexual behavior and put them at risk. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between risky sexual behavior of students in Croatia and their knowledge on sexually transmitted diseases. 1928 participants took part in the research. The research was conducted via PsyToolKit platform, and participants completed the Sociodemographic Data Questionnaire, the Sexual Risk Survey (SRS), and the Sexually Transmitted Disease Knowledge Test. It was found that women engage in risky sexual behaviour and acts more than men, while men have a greater intention to engage in risky sexual behaviors than women. No statistically significant gender differences were found in sexual risk-taking with casual partners, impulsive sexual behaviors, risky anal sexual behaviors/acts, and knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases. As for the correlations, when it comes to women, it was found that with increasing knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases, the frequency of sexual risk taking with non-committal partners, risky sexual acts and overall risky sexual behavior increases, but no statistically significant correlation between the impulsive sexual behaviors, intentions to engage in risky sexual behaviors, risky anal sexual behaviors, and knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases. When it comes to men, it was found that with increasing knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases, the amount of sexual risk taking with non-committal partners and risky anal sexual behavior increases, but no statistically significant correlation was found between overall risky sexual behavior, risky sexual acts, impulsive sexual behaviors and intentions to engage in risky sexual behaviors with knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases.
