| description |
US Latino adolescents have higher teenage birthrates and higher probabilities for early sexual initiation, compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Understanding their reasons for delaying or initiating first-time vaginal intercourse is important in designing culturally relevant health promotion programs. Using qualitative methods, we analyzed 21 semi-structured interviews with US Latino adolescents regarding their sexual debuts. Seven had sexually debuted, acknowledging sexual feelings of desire, curiosity and pleasure for their romantic partner. The remaining 14 had not debuted citing reasons of self-interest reasons and external prohibitive factors. Eight out of 14 also attributed their status to not being in a romantic relationship. Our findings suggest several areas for increased discussion including how romantic relationships and Latino cultural values influence sexual initiation and the use of contraception. These findings could improve health promotion programs by identifying critical elements that may resonate with US Latino adolescent socio-cultural values and sexual development. |

Resumen Antecedentes: Los adolescentes latinos de Estados Unidos presentan tasas de natalidad más altas y mayores probabilidades de iniciación sexual temprana en comparación con adolescentes de otros grupos raciales/étnicos. Entender las razones de los jóvenes latinos para retrasar o iniciar el coito vaginal primera vez es importante en el diseño de programas de promoción de salud culturalmente relevantes. Métodos: En el presente estudio cualitativo se realizaron 21 entrevistas semiestructuradas con adolescentes latinos sobre las razones para iniciarse o abstenerse de practicar el coito vaginal por primera vez. Resultados: Siete de los participantes habían debutado sexualmente y 14 se habían abstenido de hacerlo. Quienes se habían iniciado reconocieron haberlo hecho por curiosidad, deseo sexual y por placer pero admitieron haberse iniciado sexualmente en el contexto de una relación romántica con su pareja. Quienes se habían abstenido reportaron razones personales (no sentirse preparados, esperar hasta el matrimonio, temor de adquirir una infección sexualmente transmisible o de quedar embarazada) y también citaron fuentes externas de prohibición (padres y religión). Ocho de los 14 adolescentes también atribuyeron el haberse abstenido al no haber establecido una relación romántica todavía. Discusión: El análisis de los resultados sugiere que los adolescentes latinos de los Estados Unidos con características similares a la muestra estudiada tienen los conocimientos y están dispuestos a tomar decisiones razonadas sobre su iniciación sexual.PDFapplication/pdfapplication/pdfspaPontificia Universidad Javerianahttp://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/4417/9941http://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/4417/9880Universitas Psychologica; Vol. 13, Núm. 4 (2014)child & adolescent health; human sexuality; reproductive health; special populationschild & adolescent health; human sexuality; reproductive health; special populations.“Your Clothes Aren’t Going to Magically Come Off”:An Exploratory Study of U.S. Latino Adolescents’ Reasons for Having or Not Having First-Time Vaginal Intercourseour clothes are going to magically come off": An Exploratory Study of U.S. Latino Adolescents' Reasons for Having or not Having First-time Vaginal Intercoursehttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Artículo de revistahttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/article10554/33233oai:repository.javeriana.edu.co:10554/332332023-03-29 14:27:27.856Repositorio Institucional - Pontificia Universidad Javerianarepositorio@javeriana.edu.co |
