Abstract:
This study explores the influence of situational context on parent-adolescent communication about sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues in the urban slums of Ibadan, Nigeria. A qualitative exploratory study was conducted in the Southeast and Northeast LGAs of Ibadan. Eight (8) vignette-based focus group discussions (FGDs) with parents and adolescents of both sexes were conducted in addition to four (4) key informant interviews (KIIs) with community and women\'s leaders. Interviews were tape-recorded, transcribed, and translated into English. Thematic analysis was adopted using ATLAS Ti 9 software. Findings portray SRH meanings and experiences, intergenerational cultural norms, and expectations for SRH, gender double standards in SRH discussion, streetwise SRH knowledge, and social media exposure as contexts that interfere with parent-adolescent communication on SRH issues. The findings show that despite understanding the need for SRH discussion, parents and adolescents lack effective communication on SRH issues due to the interference of unfiltered streetwise SRH knowledge and social media exposure. Also, SRH conversation between parents and adolescents promotes gender inequalities as different information is passed to adolescent girls and boys. Interventions that take into account situational occurrences must be geared towards enabling parents to give their adolescents early exposure to relevant, context-specific SRH knowledge.
摘要:
这项研究探讨了情境环境对伊巴丹城市贫民窟性健康和生殖健康(SRH)问题的父母与青少年交流的影响,尼日利亚。在伊巴丹的东南部和东北部地区进行了定性探索性研究。除了与社区和妇女领导人进行四(4)次关键线人访谈(KIIs)外,还与父母和男女青少年进行了八(8)次基于小插图的焦点小组讨论(FGD)。采访是用磁带录制的,转录,翻译成英文.采用ATLASTi9软件进行专题分析。调查结果描绘了SRH的含义和经历,代际文化规范,以及对SRH的期望,SRH讨论中的性别双重标准,街道SRH知识,和社交媒体曝光作为干扰父母与青少年在SRH问题上沟通的背景。研究结果表明,尽管理解讨论SRH的必要性,由于未经过滤的街头SRH知识和社交媒体曝光的干扰,父母和青少年在SRH问题上缺乏有效的沟通。此外,父母和青少年之间的SRH对话会促进性别不平等,因为不同的信息会传递给青春期的女孩和男孩。考虑到情况发生的干预措施必须旨在使父母能够让青少年早期接触相关的,特定于上下文的SRH知识。
