Hispanic adolescents are at high risk of engaging in sexual risk-taking behaviors. Parent-child communication protects against such behaviors. Among Hispanic families, it is critical to explore how cultural characteristics influence mothers-daughter communication about sex. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand how cultural values influence mothers' communication about sex with their early adolescent Hispanic daughters.
Twenty-one Hispanic mothers of seventh-grade daughters participated in this focus group study. Directed content analysis was used to analyze the data.
Four Hispanic cultural values (, and ) and how each value influences mother-daughter communication about sex were identified. While mothers want to protect their daughters, there are multiple cultural norms that made it challenging for them to have critical conversations.
The study informs researchers and clinicians how to facilitate parent-child conversations about sex and to equip parents to teach their children how to avoid engaging in sexual risk-taking behaviors.
西班牙裔青少年有很高的风险从事性行为冒险行为。亲子沟通可以预防此类行为。在西班牙裔家庭中，探索文化特征如何影响母亲与女儿进行性方面的沟通至关重要。本定性研究的目的是了解文化价值观如何影响母亲与处于青春期早期的西班牙裔女儿进行性方面的沟通。
21 名七年级女儿的西班牙裔母亲参加了这项焦点小组研究。采用有针对性的内容分析来分析数据。
确定了四个西班牙文化价值观（家庭、宗教和性别角色）以及每个价值观如何影响母亲与女儿进行性方面的沟通。虽然母亲们希望保护自己的女儿，但存在多种文化规范，这使得她们难以进行批判性对话。
该研究为研究人员和临床医生提供了如何促进亲子之间关于性的对话的信息，并使父母能够教导孩子如何避免从事性行为冒险行为。
