Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive, cross-sectional study was twofold: (1) to assess the characteristics, attitudes, and educational needs toward emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) of female university students in general and (2) more specifically to compare the differences between nursing students and students with other majors.
Methods: A total of 249 female university students completed a pack of self-report questionnaires including two open-ended questions (attitudes toward ECPs and educational needs). Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and content analysis for open-ended questions were used to analyze the data.
Results: About 94% of participants reported that they heard about ECPs before; however, 46% of them did not have a chance to learn about ECPs. If needed, 69% of participants reported that they would use ECPs. Nursing students showed higher knowledge scores as well as more positive attitude toward ECPs. Considerable number of students particularly wanted to learn about mechanism, medication regimen, and side effects of ECPs.
Conclusion: Female university students in this study showed strong desire to use ECPs and thus health care providers need to educate them based on their educational needs. Nursing students as future nurses need to comprehensively understand ECPs.
