We explored attitudes and beliefs pertaining to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) among unmarried, female, resettled Bhutanese refugees 16-20 years.
Fourteen interviews were analyzed using the constant comparison method, and major themes were identified.
SRH was stigmatized for unmarried youth, making seeking information about SRH or accessing family planning difficult. There were many misconceptions about access to SRH.
Universal, culturally, and linguistically appropriate comprehensive SRH education is recommended for female Bhutanese refugee youth. Terminology used should take into account differences in conceptualization of concepts like dating. Educators and health care providers should clearly describe consent and confidentiality laws regarding adolescent SRH services.
我们探究了未育、未婚、女性、重新安置的不丹难民 16-20 岁群体对性与生殖健康(SRH)的态度和信念。
采用恒比法对 14 次访谈进行分析,并确定主要主题。
未婚青年的 SRH 被污名化,导致他们难以获取有关 SRH 或计划生育的信息。对获取 SRH 的途径存在许多误解。
建议向不丹难民青年提供普遍的、文化和语言适宜的综合性 SRH 教育。所使用的术语应考虑到对约会等概念的概念化差异。教育工作者和医疗保健提供者应明确说明有关青少年 SRH 服务的同意和保密法律。
