Little is known about Filipino American women's (FAW) sexual and reproductive health (SRH). The purpose of this study was to examine the SRH knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy among young adult FAW.
This was a qualitative, descriptive interpretive design. Four focus group interviews and one individual interview were conducted. Purposive sampling was used for this study. Inclusion criteria were female, Filipino American, between the ages 18 and 24 years old, and be able to understand and speak English.
Twelve participants ( = 12) were recruited. Three themes emerged from this study: (a) sources of SRH information; (b) influence of cultural values, religion, and intergenerational factors; and (c) facilitators of and barriers to women's health services.
Themes emerged from the content analysis identifying SRH disparities within the Filipino American community, which may inform future interventions and research on this topic.
关于菲律宾裔美国女性(FAW)的性健康和生殖健康(SRH),我们知之甚少。本研究旨在调查年轻的 FAW 的 SRH 知识、态度和自我效能。
这是一项定性、描述性的解释性设计。进行了四次焦点小组访谈和一次个人访谈。本研究采用了目的性抽样。纳入标准为女性、菲律宾裔美国人、年龄在 18 至 24 岁之间、能够理解和说英语。
共招募了 12 名参与者(=12)。本研究得出了三个主题:(a)SRH 信息的来源;(b)文化价值观、宗教和代际因素的影响;以及(c)妇女健康服务的促进因素和障碍。
内容分析中出现的主题确定了菲律宾裔美国人社区内的 SRH 差距,这可能为该主题的未来干预和研究提供信息。
