THE EFFECTS OF KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND AWARENESS OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS WITH PHYSICAL AND HEALTH IMPAIRMENTS

Abstract

This study investigates students with physical and health impairments' knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of sexually transmitted illnesses. It examined how much students with physical and health impairments knew, felt, and were aware of sexually transmitted illnesses using a poll of students. The study's findings show that students with physical and health disabilities have varying levels of knowledge, attitudes, and awareness regarding STDs; some have a thorough understanding, while others do not. Additionally, the study discovered that students with physical or health impairments were more likely than people without such impairments to be aware of and knowledgeable about STDs. Furthermore, the findings imply that students with physical and health impairments have generally positive opinions regarding STDs. There is a discussion of how these findings affect health education and awareness.
