- Abstract
Objective: Analyzing the knowledge of nursing graduate students about sexually transmitted diseases and identifying practices that young people adopt for STD prevention. Method: A descriptive, quantitative study held in a public higher education institution in Rio de Janeiro with nursing graduates who answered a questionnaire. Research approved by CEP/UERJ n. 063/2012. The data were tabulated with use of simple descriptive statistics and stored in Microsoft Excel 2003 software. Results: Students recognize the importance about the use of condoms for prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, but don't use it continuously. Many students are unaware of the transmission of STD. Conclusion: The young people investigated do not have enough information about sexually transmitted diseases and preventive measures. Health professionals should contribute with information and educational activities, emphasizing the importance of practicing safe sexual health for young people.
