Popis: Cilj rada: Adolescencija je razvojna faza tijekom koje pojedinci počinju učvršćivati osjećaj identiteta, obilježen autonomnim funkcioniranjem koje će dovesti do neovisnog života uz održavanje sigurnih veza s obitelji, vršnjacima i širom zajednicom te spolnog sazrijevanja. Cilj je ovog rada ispitati i usporediti znanje, stavove i navike o spolnosti adolescenata te utvrditi postoje li razlike između učenika medicinske škole i gimnazije. Metode rada: Analiza je provedena anonimnim anketnim upitnikom od 27 pitanja općeg karaktera te pitanjima navika, ponašanja, znanja i stavova povezanih sa spolnošću. U istraživanje su uključeni učenici Srednje medicinske škole i Gimnazije „Matija Mesić” u Slavonskom Brodu u dobi od 17 do 20 godina. Sudjelovalo je 100 učenika; od toga ukupno 72 djevojke i 28 mladića. Rezultati: Dobiveni podaci pokazuju da je 59 % anketiranih stupilo u spolni odnos. Tek 17 % ispitanika pokazalo je visoku razinu znanja koje se odnosi na spolnost i prevenciju rizičnih ponašanja. Većina ispitanika (65 %) smatra da bi besplatni kontraceptivi smanjili broj neželjenih trudnoća i spolno prenosivih bolesti, dok gotovo svi (91 %) smatraju da je zdravstveni odgoj potreban u školama. Zaključak: Većina ispitanika stupila je u spolne odnose, češće oni iz medicinske škole, a najčešći je razlog prvog stupanja u spolni odnos ljubav. Gotovo svi ispitanici upotrebljavaju kontracepciju. Znanje ispitanika o spolnosti, posebno gimnazijalaca, na nezadovoljavajućoj je razini. Ispitanice imaju znatno jasnije stavove protiv abortusa od muških ispitanika. Većina ispitanika želi zdravstveni odgoj u školama.
Aim: Adolescence is a developmental phase during which individuals begin to strengthen their sense of identity, which is marked by autonomous functioning that will lead to sexual maturation and independent living while maintaining secure connections with family, peers and the wider community. The aim of the study is to examine and compare knowledge, attitudes, and habits about adolescent sexuality, and to determine whether there are differences depending on whether the students are from medical high schools or general education secondary schools. Subjects and methods: The subjects who participated in the study, aged between 17 and 20, were students from two high schools in Slavonski Brod, the Medical High School and the general education secondary school “Matija Mesić”. 100 students participated: 72 females and 28 males. The participants were asked to fill in an anonymous questionnaire containing general questions and questions about their habits, knowledge, and attitudes related to sexual health. Their knowledge was tested through questions about STDs, protection during sexual intercourse, and how often they should be tested. The section on attitudes towards sexuality revolved around the question of attitudes about abortion and whether they believe that sex education is needed in schools. Results: The analysis of the respondents’ habits showed that 59% of the respondents have had sexual intercourse. Only 17% of the respondents provided all correct answers, and 80% of them provided more than half of the correct answers. The majority of the respondents (65%) believe that free contraceptives would reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and STDs, while almost all (91%) believe that sex education is needed in schools. Conclusion: Most of the respondents have entered into sexual relationships, and the majority of those who have is from the medical school. The most common reason given for entering into the relationship is love. Almost all respondents use contraception. The respondents’ knowledge of sex is unsatisfactory, especially of those from the general-education secondary school. More of the female respondents were against abortion than male respondents. Most respondents want sex education in schools.
