Knowledge of croatian seamen and nautical students about sexually transmitted diseases

The aim of this study was to assess the attitudes and knowledge of Croatian seamen and nautical students about sexually transmitted diseases. The study was performed by use of an anonymous questionnaire that contained questions on general data (age, occupation, and marital status) and seven questions on the attitudes, knowledge and behavior related to sexually transmitted diseases. Study sample included 482 subjects, 182 (37.8%) of them officers, 132 (27.4%) nautical students, and 168 (34.8%) other crew members. The high education group included officers and nautical students, whereas other crew members were included in the lower education group. Comparison was performed on a dual basis, i.e. according to the level of education and age. Statistical significance of the results was estimated by use of chi-square test. Study results revealed the highest rate of affection with a sexually transmitted disease at least once in lifetime in the group of other crew members (54.8%), followed by the group of officers (23.1%), whereas the lowest rate was recorded among nautical students (4.5%).The group of other crew members were most willing to have sexual affairs in spite of having a steady partner (82.1%), followed by officers (70.3%) and nautical students (53%), the differences being statistically significant. The highest level of knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases was recorded in the group of nautical students, followed by officers and other crew members. The serious epidemiologic consequences of these unfavorable attitudes and behavioral patterns are indicated by the fact that seamen account for 15% of subjects suffering from the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in Croatia, however, there are no HIV+/AIDS affected nautical officers. These data obviously point to the need of additional education of seamen, especially those of lower educational level (other crew members), on sexually transmitted diseases.
