Enquadramento: Emergem preocupações com todas as dimensões da sexualidade e com
o contributo que cada um dos agentes educativos deve dar para a formação de
adolescentes responsáveis nas suas escolhas e respeitadores da dignidade da pessoa
humana.
Objetivos: Descrever as características sócio-demográficas, familiares e de carácter sexual
da população em estudo; Identificar os conhecimentos que os adolescentes possuem
acerca do planeamento familiar; Caracterizar as atitudes adotadas pelos adolescentes face
ao preservativo e pílula; Analisar a influência das variáveis sociodemográficas, das variáveis
contextuais à sexualidade e conhecimentos sobre planeamento familiar nas atitudes face ao
preservativo e à pílula.
Material e métodos: Este estudo, caracteriza-se como sendo do tipo descritivo
correlacional não experimental efetuado em corte transversal. A amostra não probabilística
por conveniência é constituída por 1216 adolescentes que frequentam o 9º Ano de
Escolaridade em Escolas Públicas Portuguesas, enquadrado no projeto PTDC/CPECED/
103313/2008.
Resultados: Tiveram relações sexuais 15,1% dos rapazes e 10,5% das raparigas. Face ao
preservativo, são os adolescentes com 14 anos que apresentam maior percentagem de
atitudes muito adequadas (20,6%) e de atitudes inadequadas (21,3%). A maioria dos
adolescentes que considera importante utilizar o preservativo apresenta atitudes
inadequadas face à pílula (48,5%). A idade (p=0,242) e a residência (p=0,719) não
influenciam as atitudes face ao preservativo; O sexo (p=0,038) influencia as atitudes face ao
preservativo; A idade (p=0,324), a residência (p=0,862) e a idade de início das relações
sexuais (p=0,222) não têm influência nas atitudes face à pílula; O sexo influencia as atitudes
face à pílula anticoncetiva; Apresentam menor culpabilidade face ao preservativo os
adolescentes que têm o pai (p=0,030) e o namorado (a) (p=0,023) como interlocutores sobre
sexualidade; As variáveis de contexto não têm efeito significativo sobre as atitudes face à
pílula anticoncetiva (p0,05). Verificou-se a existência de mais atitudes de culpabilidade e
funcionalidade face ao preservativo e pílula anticoncetiva entre os adolescentes que
possuem fracos conhecimentos sobre planeamento familiar.
Conclusão: A educação sexual deve constituir uma aposta dos profissionais de saúde, pois
pode ser considerada a principal forma de prevenir comportamentos de risco, não devendo
esta abordar unicamente os métodos contracetivos

Most teenagers who believes it is important to use condoms has inappropriate attitudes against the pill (48.5%). Age (p = 0.242) and residence (p = 0.719) did not influence attitudes towards condoms, Sex (p = 0.038) influences the attitudes towards condoms and pill; age (p=0,324), residence (p=0,862) and the age of initiation of sexual intercourse (p=0,222) did not influence attitudes towards birth control pill. Have less culpability against the condom adolescents who have father (p = 0.030) and boyfriend (p = 0.023) as interlocutors about sexuality. The sexual context variables have no significant effect on attitudes towards pill (p > 0.05).. Was verified the existence of more attitudes of guilt and functionality toward condom and birth control pill among adolescents who have weak knowledge about family planning.
