PURPOSE: This paper presents the findings of a cross-sectional survey on the risk
and protective factors of premarital sexual behavior among rural female
adolescents in Peninsular Malaysia. METHODS: We investigated data on 770 female
respondents aged 13-17 years in rural areas to identify predictive factors for
premarital sexual intercourse. Data were analyzed using bivariate and
multivariate regression. Specific socio-demographic factors, psychological and
family domains, peer delinquency, and knowledge and attitudes about sexuality
were considered in risky sexual behaviors in rural Malay girls. The effects of
other covariates for premarital sexual intercourse were controlled by logistic
regression model. RESULTS: Of the 770 rural female students, about 3.2% of
respondents reported experience of sexual intercourse in the past three months.
Out of those sexually active girls, 36% were 17 years old and 20% stated having
sexual intercourse with more than one partner, and 72% did not use contraception
during the most recent sexual intercourse. Midnight activities, peer-sexual
disorder, self-evaluation, and attitude toward sexual health were significant
predictors of sexual intercourse in rural girls in Malaysia. CONCLUSION: The
finding highlights the impact of psychological factors and peer group influences
on the challenges of premarital sexual behavior among rural girls and the notion
of school-based sexual health education for adolescents. This study triggers
other researchers take into account a comprehensive view of protective factors
operating in adolescents' risky sexual behaviors in Asian culture seeing that
family domain variables, unexpectedly, exerted no predicting influence on
sexually active female teens in rural areas in Malaysia.
