Resumo
Enquadramento: Tratar de educação sexual, para
além da atualidade do tema, prende-se, sobretudo, com a
necessidade de uma abordagem que leve à adoção de atitudes
favoráveis face à sexualidade e a comportamentos saudáveis
por parte dos adolescentes.
Objetivos: Identificar as preferências dos alunos na
escolha dos interlocutores em assuntos de sexualidade, bem
como analisar a relação com as atitudes face à sexualidade dos
alunos do 3º ciclo do ensino básico.
Métodos: O estudo realizado é de natureza
quantitativa, descritivo-correlacional e transversal. Amostra
não probabilística, por conveniência, de 545 alunos (262
rapazes e 283 raparigas), idade média de 13,95 anos (Dp= 1,25), maioritariamente residentes na aldeia (53,1%) e a
frequentar o 3º ciclo do ensino básico nas escolas do Concelho
de Tabuaço e Fundão. Foi aplicado um questionário visando a
caracterização sociodemográfica da amostra, o conhecimento
das suas vivências da sexualidade; foi, ainda, aplicada a Escala
de atitudes face à sexualidade em adolescentes (Nelas,
Fernandes, Ferreira, Duarte & Chaves, 2010).
Resultados: Da amostra global de alunos, os
principais interlocutores da sexualidade são os amigos
(59,8%), seguido da mãe (40,9%), pai (16,1%), namorado/a
(14,7%), irmãos (13,8%), professores (12,5%), e, por último,
do médico/enfermeiro (4,6%). A mãe influencia
significativamente e favoravelmente as atitudes face à
sexualidade (p=0,006) e, no reverso, os irmãos influenciam de
forma significativa e desfavoravelmente as atitudes face à
sexualidade (p=0,050).
Conclusão: Este estudo sugere que o papel da figura
materna e dos irmãos está diretamente relacionado com as
atitudes face à sexualidade dos alunos do 3ºciclo do ensino
básico e que aqueles têm uma importância essencial na
avaliação que estes fazem da sexualidade.
Abstract Background: Dealing with sex education, being a matter of full actuality, is related mainly with the need for an approach that leads to the adoption of positive attitudes towards sexuality and healthy behavior by adolescents. Objectives: Identify the preferences of students of the 3rd cycle of basic education in the choice of the interlocutors on matters of sexuality as well as analyse their relationship with attitudes towards sexuality. Methods: The fulfilled study is quantitative, descriptive-correlational and tranversal. It is a non-probabilistic sample by convenience of 545 students (262 boys and 283 girls), on average age of 13.95 years old (SD = 1.25), mostly living in the village (53.1%) and attend the 3rd cycle of basic education in schools of Tabuaço and Fundão. It was administered a questionnaire constitued by a socio-demographic characterization and the experiences of sexuality and by a scale of attitudes towards sexuality in adolescents (Nelas, Fernandes, Ferreira, Duarte & Chaves, 2010). Results: Of the global sample of students, the main interlocutors of the sexuality are friends (59.8%), followed by the mother (40.9%), father (16.1%), boyfriend/girlfriend (14.7%), siblings (13.8 %), teachers (12.5%) and, finally, the doctor/nurse (4.6%). The mother significantly and favorably influences the attitudes towards sexuality (p = 0.006) and, in reverse, the siblings influence significantly and adversely the attitudes towards sexuality (p = 0.050). Conclusion: This study suggests that the role of the mother and siblings is directly related to attitudes towards sexuality of students of the 3rd cycle of basic education and that those are vitally important in the evaluation of sexuality that they do.
