Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health

Year 2018, Volume: 15 Issue: 4, 184 - 188, 01.10.2018

Abstract

Sexual and reproductive rights of adolescents are international human rights and should be respected.As a result of risky sexual behaviors in this period, they are confronted with some problems affecting the reproductive health including too-early pregnancy and childbearing, unsafe and illegal abortions, sexually transmitted infections and infertility. Adolescent have unique sexual and reproductive health needs. These needs cannot be fully met due to lack of information, social pressure, insufficientand laws and policies that prevent the provision of contraception for unmarried adolescents, and judicial attitudes between law enforcement agencies and service providers. Systematic reviews suggest comprehensive interventions in adolescents that include sexual health education, counseling and support for continuing contraceptive methods to control and prevent adverse outcomes associated with risky sexual behaviors.

Adolesanlarda Cinsel Sağlık ve Üreme Sağlığı

Year 2018, Volume: 15 Issue: 4, 184 - 188, 01.10.2018

Abstract

Adolesanların cinsel ve üreme hakları, uluslararası insan haklarıdır ve saygı gösterilmelidir. Bu dönemde riskli cinsel davranışlar sonucu oluşan çok erken yaşta gebelikler ve çocuk doğurma, güvenli ve yasal olmayan abortuslar, cinsel yolla bulaşan infeksiyonlar ve infertilite gibi üreme sağlığını etkileyen bazı problemlerle karşı karşıya kalmaktadırlar. Adolesanlar özel cinsel ve üreme sağlığı ihtiyaçlarına sahiptirler. Bu ihtiyaçlar bilgi eksikliği, toplumsal baskı, evlenmemiş adolesanlar için yetersiz ve kontrasepsiyonun sağlanmasını engelleyen yasa ve politikalar ile hizmet sağlayıcılar arasındaki yargılayıcı davranışlardan dolayı tam olarak karşılanamamaktadır. Sistematik derlemeler adolesanlarda, riskli cinsel davranışlarla ilgili olumsuz sonuçların kontrolü ve önlenmesi için cinsel sağlık eğitimi, danışmanlık ve devamlılık gösteren doğum kontrol metotlarının desteklenmesini içeren kapsamlı müdahaleleri önermektedir.
