Adolescence is a phase where one is inquisitive about sex and sexuality. It is but natural to exchange the half-baked feelings and experiences with peers. These days the environment that includes public media has sexually suggestive flavors.
This study was conducted to find out the sexual experiences of a selected, few school going adolescents.
A cross-sectional study utilizing stratified sampling to enroll 200 students from secondary schools in Nakuru County, Kenya. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The data was entered and analyzed in SPSS® version 22. Chi-square test of independence and Fisher's Exact Test were performed to test for associations.
The study found that a large number have had sexual experiences of varying type. It was interesting to learn from the survey that a large number of older adolescents wish that their parents should have talked to them about sexual matters. There is a general conservative outlook that the students had. Although a small percentage had sexual experiences at a very young age, many of them valued ethics and morality.
There is urgency for intervention by the parents and the church in filing the gap in sexual knowledge.
青春期是一个对性和性行为充满好奇的阶段。与同龄人交流半生不熟的感受和经历是很自然的。如今,包括大众媒体在内的环境都带有性暗示的意味。
本研究旨在了解部分在校青少年的性经历。
采用分层抽样的横断面研究,从肯尼亚纳库鲁县的中学招募200名学生。使用自填式问卷收集数据。数据录入SPSS® 22版进行分析。进行独立性卡方检验和费舍尔精确检验以检验相关性。
研究发现,很多青少年有过不同类型的性经历。从调查中了解到,很多年龄较大的青少年希望父母能和他们谈论性方面的事情,这很有意思。学生们普遍持保守观点。虽然有一小部分人在很小的时候就有过性经历,但他们中的很多人重视伦理道德。
父母和教会迫切需要进行干预,以填补性知识方面的空白。
