Teachers play an important role in guiding the adolescents. Adolescents are ill equipped to deal with the impending changes in their body which makes them vulnerable to STDs, HIV/AIDS and premarital sex. This study attempts to study the impact of reproductive health education on the knowledge, attitude and practices of teachers, about which only a few studies are available.
To study the impact of health education on the knowledge, attitude and practices of teachers regarding reproductive health of adolescents.
Senior Secondary schools of Amritsar and Department of Community Medicine, Government Medical College, Amritsar, Punjab, India.
Male teachers of senior secondary schools of Amritsar teaching class 9th-12th.
Educational intervention study.
Purposive sampling.
The study was started with 155 teachers (teaching class 9th -12th) who willingly participated from 50 senior secondary schools of Amritsar district. It was carried out in three phases. In first phase, after taking informed consent, the teachers filled a pretested questionnaire which was followed by an interactive session on reproductive health in second phase. In third phase, to study the impact of the interactive session and the sustainability of knowledge gained, they were again administered the same questionnaire after a period of 3 months.
Microsoft Excel, SPSS, Chi-square test.
Maximum 74 (47.7%) teachers were aware of the psychosocial problems of adolescents. Majority 110 (71%) of the teachers had only partial knowledge about pubertal changes. 117 (75.5%) teachers were unaware about genital hygiene. Only 33 (21.3%) teachers had adequate knowledge about different STDs. 91 (58.7%) and 54 (34.8%) of teachers had adequate knowledge about routes of transmission and prevention of AIDS respectively. Only 37 (23.9%) teachers were imparting sex education to students. After intervention significant favorable changes were seen in their knowledge, attitude and practices regarding most of above mentioned topics.
Although the baseline knowledge of teachers in most aspects of reproductive health of adolescents was found to be low, significant favourable changes were observed after health education.
教师在引导青少年方面发挥着重要作用。青少年应对身体即将发生的变化的能力不足，这使他们容易感染性传播疾病、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和发生婚前性行为。本研究试图探讨生殖健康教育对教师知识、态度和行为的影响，关于这方面的研究较少。
研究健康教育对教师有关青少年生殖健康的知识、态度和行为的影响。
印度旁遮普邦阿姆利则市的高中以及阿姆利则政府医学院社区医学系。
阿姆利则市高中9至12年级的男教师。
教育干预研究。
目的抽样。
该研究始于155名教师（教授9至12年级），他们自愿来自阿姆利则地区的50所高中。研究分三个阶段进行。第一阶段，在获得知情同意后，教师填写一份经过预测试的问卷，第二阶段是关于生殖健康的互动环节。第三阶段，为研究互动环节的影响以及所获知识的可持续性，在3个月后再次向他们发放相同问卷。
Microsoft Excel、SPSS、卡方检验。
最多74名（47.7%）教师了解青少年的心理社会问题。大多数110名（71%）教师对青春期变化只有部分了解。117名（75.5%）教师不了解生殖器官卫生。只有33名（21.3%）教师对不同性传播疾病有足够了解。91名（58.7%）和54名（34.8%）教师分别对艾滋病的传播途径和预防有足够了解。只有37名（23.9%）教师向学生传授性教育。干预后，他们在上述大多数主题的知识、态度和行为方面出现了显著的积极变化。
尽管发现教师在青少年生殖健康大多数方面的基线知识较低，但健康教育后观察到了显著的积极变化。
