Abstract
Objectives: The present research addresses the stage of perception of Romanian respondents regarding Sars-CoV-2 contamination and their sexual behaviour. Specifically, the goal is to observe whether respondents use protection measures during their sexual activity.
Methods: The study included 621 participants randomly chose. Online scales were used, mainly the Covid-19 Sexuality Assessment Questionnaire, to assess perceptions of Sars-CoV-2 virus contamination and on sexual behaviours.
Results: Scores were obtained for the three stages investigated: real information, one’s sources of information and the stage of pandemic and sexual behaviour. The frequency of answers obtained was F = 49 and the expected frequency was F = 60.9 for real information about Covid-19, having an insignificant p > 0.5. The frequency of the answers obtained was F = 52 and the expected frequency was F = 50.7 for one’s information sources, having a significant p < 0.1. The frequency of the answers obtained was F = 18 and the expected frequency of F = 16.9 for the pandemic stage and sexual behaviour, having an insignificant p > 0.5.
Conclusions: The results obtained show that the respondents had less official and specialized information with and about the sexual life during pandemic, and no exact data about the danger they are exposed to in terms of transmission with the Sars-CoV-2 virus.
