Parent-child communication about sexual health is considered an effective strategy for encouraging safe sexual practices among youth. This study used a brief survey to examine mother-child communication among 86 antenatal clinic attendees in Johannesburg, South Africa. Eighty-five percent of mothers reported having enough information to discuss HIV/AIDS prevention with their children, while only 36% reported having enough information to discuss HPV/cervical cancer prevention. Thirty-seven percent of mothers who reported being comfortable discussing HIV/sexual health with their child actually discussed these topics with their child; while 58% of mothers who reported being comfortable did not discuss HIV/sexual health with their child. Future research and program planning efforts should focus on identifying the best strategies to educate South African mothers on HPV and cervical cancer, so that mothers can effectively communicate their knowledge about these topics to their children.
亲子间关于性健康的沟通被认为是鼓励青少年采取安全性行为的有效策略。本研究通过一项简短调查，对南非约翰内斯堡86名产前诊所就诊者中的母婴沟通情况进行了考察。85%的母亲表示自己有足够信息与孩子讨论预防艾滋病毒/艾滋病，而只有36%的母亲表示有足够信息讨论预防人乳头瘤病毒/宫颈癌。在那些表示与孩子讨论艾滋病毒/性健康感到自在的母亲中，37%实际上与孩子讨论了这些话题；而在表示感到自在的母亲中，58%并未与孩子讨论艾滋病毒/性健康。未来的研究和项目规划工作应着重于找出最佳策略，对南非母亲进行人乳头瘤病毒和宫颈癌方面的教育，以便母亲能够有效地将自己关于这些话题的知识传达给孩子。
