农村父母对未婚年轻成人生殖健康教育的态度和要求

Attitudes and requirements of parents in providing their unmarried young offsprings with knowledge of sex,contraception and STDs in rural area of China

目前,在我国社会中频繁出现的婚前性行为,已对我们的家庭性观念建设和青少年健康成长造成较严重干扰.1993年以来,北京、上海和武汉等地对婚检对象的调查显示,未婚年轻人中发生婚前性行为的比例分别为45.52%、69.3%和64.1%,其中年龄最小的仅13岁,因此造成的未婚先孕比例也很高(1).20世纪90年代初刘达临等人的调查显示,我国城市未婚先孕人流占总人流数的16%(2).而目前据估计,我国未婚人流占人流总数的25%～50%(3).

Objective To explore the reasons for unmet needs of unmarried young adults for reproductive health in rural area of Chongqing,China.Methods Focus group discussion was conducted in selected eight parents who lived in Beibei County of Chongqing Municipality.All of them had one or two unmarried young boys or girls aged between 18 and 24.The topics of discussion were:What attitude and how much understanding do the parents have about premarital sexual behavior and abortion of their children? Whether these experiences affected the health of their children? Whether the parents like to provide their children with knowledge about sex,contraception and STDs by themselves,school,family planning clinic or community?Which way the parents can accept to convey the knowledge to the youngsters? Results Although there are other more serious social problems than premarital sexual intercourse of juveniles which are worrying the parents,they are still anxious about the reproducive health of their children.Facing the fac that sexual activity among unmarried men and women has increased rapidly following the change of social economy in China,parents give some advice to their children but it does not produce good effect.Parents think that they have no ability to provide knowledge about sex,contraception and STDs because of influence of traditional ideas and poor education received by themselves.Parents wish to get the aid of government to help their offsprings.They suggest that juveniles should get such knowledge from school,community and family in different ages and in different ways.Some parents hope to have a chance to receive the knowledge so that they can help their children better.Conclusion At present,the provision of knowledge about sex,contraception and STDs by parents has not become an im portant part of family education because of traditional ideas and poor knowledge of parents.So it is necessary to re-construct scientific sex ideas and spread scientific knowledge about sex,contraception and STDs among parents and youg adults.It is probable to set up center of promoting adolescents' repreoductive health in order to train,guide,and disseminate sex information in,adolesents.
