Antikoncepce zůstává důležitou součástí úsilí snížit počet těhotenství u dospívajících. K dispozici je řada bezpečných a účinných antikoncepčních metod pro mladé dospívající, zahrnující abstinenci, bariérové metody, orální kontracepci, depotní injekční hormonální antikoncepci, nitroděložní tělísko (IUD) a periodickou abstinenci. Sexuálně aktivní adolescenti by měli rozumět výhodám a omezením různých antikoncepčních metod.
Contraception remains an important part of efforts to reduce adolescent pregnancy. A number of safe and effective contraceptive methods are available for young adolescents, including abstinence, barrier methods, oral contraceptives, depot injectable hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine devices (IUD) and periodic abstinence. Sexually active adolescents should understand the benefits and limitations of the various contraceptive methods.
Introduction: Adolescents often look to mass media for information regarding issues of sexuality. As one form of media, teenage magazines have long constituted a pervasive and effective element of adolescent media exposure. Teenage magazines discuss a number of aspects concerning adolescent sexuality. Considering their potential impact on health related behaviors, the information they provide and the message(s) they send warrant attention. Aim/Purpose: The aim of this study is to perform a content analysis of sexual development and behavior information presented in Polish teenage magazines. Social Cognitive Theory was used as a theoretical basis for this analysis. Methods and Materials: The media chosen for this study were general-themed publications targeting an adolescent female audience: Bravo Girl!, Filipinka and Dziewczyna. Each entry was analyzed using a structured key. The specific categories of behavior and development used for this study are: biological information, pedagogic instruction, topics of moral-ethical concern, results of sexual activity, and interpersonal relationships. Each category was then subdivided into separate units. Results: The findings indicate that Polish teenage magazines predominantly focus on relationships, contraception and sex education. Relationships were most often of a romantic nature and discussed sexual activity or the potential of sexual activity. Non-prescription contraceptive methods were most often discussed, with attention given to pregnancy prevention. Sex education offered detailed information on sexual practices and behaviors with much discussion on losing one’s virginity. Conclusions: The general approach of the analyzed magazines is that adolescents currently are, or soon will be, sexually active. As a result, certain sexual behavior and development issues are discussed in great detail, while other topics are somewhat neglected. Accepting informationseeking during adolescence as commonplace, these findings suggest that teenage magazines hold the potential for influencing adolescent sexual behavior and development.
