Scientific Research in Midwifery and Health Adolescent Reproduction

The research method applied is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Thematic analysis technique was used to analyze the data obtained. The results showed that adolescents' knowledge about reproductive health is still limited and diverse. The majority of adolescents get information from peers and social media, while sources of information from family and school are still lacking. Factors that contribute to risky behavior include lack of comprehensive sexual education, peer pressure, and limited access to reproductive health services. The conclusion of this study highlights the importance of improving comprehensive reproductive health education at school and within the family. In addition, easier and more youth-friendly access to reproductive health services is needed. These effects are expected to reduce risky behaviors and improve overall adolescent reproductive health.

The community service initiatives successfully garnered participation from 108 students out of a total of 900 at SMPN 15 Surabaya. The seminar quiz activity with ρ-value ≤ 0.05 significantly increased students' knowledge by 14%, while role-playing and poster competitions showed no significance. Hence the festival has positively contributed to students' knowledge enhancement, particularly through the smart quiz seminar.

An Assessment of Community Pharmacists' Competence and Involvement in Adolescent Sexuality Education and Reproductive Health Services.

Background: Provision of sexuality education and reproductive health (SERH) services for the adolescent population has been inadequate. Increasing access to adolescent SERH through the community pharmacy is a viable option in bridging this gap. Objective: The study objectives were to assess community pharmacists' involvement, self -reported competence, confidence and comfort level regarding provision of adolescent SERH services and explore barriers to service delivery. Method: A pre-tested questionnaire was distributed to 200 community pharmacists by simple random sampling. Self-reported competency and confidence were measured on a Likert scale ranging from 1-5, midpoint 3. Continuous data was expressed as mean and standard deviation while categorical data was expressed as frequencies and percentages. Results: Community pharmacist' self-reported competence, confidence and comfort levels were high, 4.09 ± 0.14; 3.2±0.75; 4.17± 0.18 respectively on a Scale of 1-5. Majority of the pharmacists, 130 (81.3%) claimed to have had formal training in sexuality education and nearly three quarters, 105 (65.6%) had recently updated their knowledge. Although product availability was adequate, 118 (73.6%), availability of educational materials was low, 37 (23%). Schools were the most frequent place where pharmacists had distributed sexuality education materials 96 (60%). Lack of time and religious objection were the major barriers to service delivery 99(61.9%); 63(39.4%) respectively. Conclusion: Pharmacist' self-reported comfort, competency and confidence levels in delivering adolescent SERH services were high. The major barriers to service delivery were lack of time and religious objection. These findings suggest that community pharmacists have a potentially major impact on improving access to adolescent SERH service. Therefore, the option of delivering SERH services through pharmacies is worth exploring in order to improve access and service delivery to the adolescent population.

A Survey of Louisiana Pediatricians' Approach to Parenting Teens and Adolescent Reproductive Health.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that pediatricians provide a medical home for adolescent parents, and this study sought to determine pediatricians' compliance with this recommendation within the context of other adolescent reproductive health services provided. An Internet-based survey was administered to Louisiana pediatricians. The survey contained 17 Likert scale questions relating to sexual and reproductive health services provided to female and male adolescents, and ascertaining their comfort and experience with issues related to the care of adolescents, including adolescent mothers. Respondents also had the option of describing why they do or do not provide care to adolescent mothers. Lastly, the survey collected demographic characteristics modeled after the American Academy of Pediatrics Periodic Survey of Fellows. There were 101 survey respondents. Seventy-nine percent of pediatricians reported that they provide care to adolescent mothers and they were similar to those who did not with respect to sex, age, race and ethnicity, and training, but they differed by practice community and payer mix. Almost 30% of pediatricians never/rarely test their patients for pregnancy, and nearly 50% never/rarely prescribe contraception. Fifty-four percent agreed that adolescent mothers should continue receiving nonobstetric medical care from their pediatricians, and 70% believed that adolescent fathers should continue receiving medical care from their pediatricians. Our study suggests that most Louisiana pediatricians provide care to adolescent mothers; however, knowledge gaps and misconceptions related to adolescent reproductive health persist among pediatricians, including those who refuse care to adolescent mothers. Research into provider-level barriers may inform interventions that improve adolescent parents' access to a pediatric medical home.

A cross-sectional study was carried out among public secondary school teachers, aged 18 - 60 years, in Enugu East Senatorial District, using probability proportional to size sampling and systematic random sampling to select 1000 participants. Binary and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to determine association. An odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was computed to determine the level of significance. The current practice level of family planning is 26.5%. Respondents with bachelor in education were 2 times more likely to be a current user of family planning (AOR=2.39; 95% CI: 1.25-4.55). However, respondents in age group 38 years and above were less likely to be a current user of family planning (AOR=0.64; 95% CI: 0.43-0.95), likewise female respondents (AOR=0.66; 95% CI: 0.44-0.98). Additionally, respondents who mentioned radio (AOR=0.64; 95%CI: 0.44-0.93), social media (AOR=0.73; 95% CI: 0.53-0.99) and healthcare (AOR=0.61; 95%CI: 0.43-0.88) as source of information were less likely to be current user of family planning. Whereas, partner who encouraged the use of family planning (AOR=2.54; 95% CI: 1.71-3.78) span style="font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-weight:bold">, partner who allow each other to decide on family planning methods (AOR=4.47; 95% CI: 2.67-7.48) and those who had good knowledge of family planning (AOR=1.96; 95% CI: 1.40-2.67) were more likely to be current user of family planning. The level of current practice of family planning is low and a significant number of factors predict the current practice of family planning. A family planning educational workshop among teachers is needed to improve teacher's knowledge on family planning to address the issue of adolescent sexual reproduction as teachers are vessels of knowledge impartation to students.

“Sex Education’s Many Sides”: Eugenics and Sex Education in New York City’s Progressive Reform Organizations

AbstractThis article argues that reformers’ racial nativism, belief in the power of eugenics to improve society, and desire to restrict US citizenship to certain racial groups contributed to reproductive and eugenic curriculum used by early public-school sex education programs. It utilizes newspaper accounts and archival records from the headquarters of the American Social Hygiene Association, Committee of Fourteen, United Neighborhood Houses, and Child Study Association in New York City to answer several crucial questions: What dangers did each organization attribute to adolescent sexuality and reproduction? How did each envision its role in societal improvement and in the sex education movement? What did these reform organizations consider as the ideal relationship between the home, school, and society? While the existing scholarship explains how each of these organizations fit into the larger historical context of progressive reform, examining them separately downplays the degree to which ideas about race, reproduction, immigration, and US citizenship circulated among reformers, especially as leaders of these groups worked across organizational lines to promote sex education.
