Although adolescent pregnancies have declined steadily during the past decade, Latina adolescents continue to have disproportionately high pregnancy rates. For nurse practitioners to effectively counsel this group of women concerning contraceptive use and sexual health, a basic understanding of the unique sociocultural factors influencing Latina adolescents' sexual activity is important. This article reviews recent literature concerning the effects of culture, acculturation, language, and significant relationships on Latina sexual behavior to provide recommendations for clinicians working with Latina adolescents in the primary care setting. Areas in need of further research are identified.
尽管在过去十年中青少年怀孕率持续下降，但拉丁裔青少年的怀孕率仍然高得不成比例。对于执业护士而言，要有效地为这一群体的女性提供有关避孕方法使用和性健康方面的咨询，基本了解影响拉丁裔青少年性活动的独特社会文化因素非常重要。本文回顾了近期有关文化、文化适应、语言及重要人际关系对拉丁裔性行为影响的文献，为在初级保健机构中与拉丁裔青少年打交道的临床医生提供建议。同时还指出了需要进一步研究的领域。
