This study examined the messages perceived by adolescent girls with orphanhood to influence their sexual decision-making. Participants were 125 students (mean age =14.7 years), 54% of whom attended church schools in a rural district of eastern Zimbabwe. We collected and analyzed data using concept mapping, a mixed method approach that enabled the construction of message clusters, with weighting for their relative importance. Messages that clustered under Biblical Teachings and Life Planning ranked highest in salience among students in both church and secular schools. Protecting Family Honor, HIV Prevention, and Social Stigma messages ranked next, respectively. Contrary to study hypotheses, the messages that orphan adolescent girls perceived to influence their sexual decisions did not vary by type of school attended.
本研究调查了有孤儿身份的少女所感知到的影响其性决策的信息。参与者为125名学生(平均年龄=14.7岁),其中54%就读于津巴布韦东部农村地区的教会学校。我们使用概念映射法收集和分析数据,这是一种混合方法,能够构建信息集群,并对其相对重要性进行加权。在教会学校和世俗学校的学生中,归类于《圣经》教义和生活规划的信息在显著性方面排名最高。保护家庭荣誉、预防艾滋病毒和社会耻辱信息分别位列其次。与研究假设相反,有孤儿身份的少女所感知到的影响其性决策的信息并不因就读学校类型而异。
