摘要

本研究评估了影响塔博拉地区青少年与父母之间性健康和生殖健康(SRH)交流的因素。研究采用了混合研究设计,在实地使用了定性和定量两种数据收集方法。研究的总体目标是了解影响坦桑尼亚父母与青少年就性健康和生殖健康行为进行交流的因素。研究的具体目标是评估影响恩泽加区父母与青少年在性健康和生殖健康方面沟通的因素。研究还采用了深入访谈、焦点小组讨论和观察等方法来回答研究目标。研究结果表明,性健康和生殖健康方面的沟通对性别有敏感认识,女性青少年与母亲之间的沟通较多,而男性青少年与父母双方的沟通较少。这是因为在孩子的培养方面存在性别差异,母亲的作用大于父亲。此外,宗教信仰也是预测父母与青少年之间性健康和生殖健康交流的一个重要因素。此外,父母对性健康和生殖健康交流重要性的态度以及他们认为自己有能力与青少年就性健康和生殖健康话题进行交流,也是预测性健康和生殖健康交流水平的因素,因为父母积极的态度和看法与高水平的性健康和生殖健康交流有关。研究建议,应在社区层面加强性健康和生殖健康,以降低青少年早产率和孕产妇死亡率。此外,研究还得出结论,性健康和生殖健康宣传对于提高人们对生殖健康问题的认识至关重要,因为生殖健康问题制约着未来的人口增长。因此,应通过促进父母对此类宣传的积极态度和看法来加强宣传。

Assessment of Factors Influencing Sexual Reproductive Health Communication between Parents and Adolescents in Tabora Region
The study assessed the factors influencing Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) communication between adolescents and Parents in Tabora region. It adopted a mixed study design whereby both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection were used in the field. The general objective of the study is to provide an understanding on the factors influencing parent-adolescent communication on sexual and reproductive health behaviours in Tanzania. The specific objective of the study was to assess the factors influencing parent-adolescent communication on SRH in Nzega District. It also used in-depth interview, focused group discussion and observation to answer the research objective. The results indicated that, communication on SRH were gender sensitive with more communication between female adolescents and mothers leaving male adolescents with low levels of communication with both parents. This was the result of gender gap in children grooming which attach a big role to mothers than fathers. Apart from that religion was also found to be an important predictor of SRH communication between parents and adolescents. Moreover, parents’ attitude on the importance of SRH communication and their perceived ability to communicate SRH topics with adolescents also predicted the levels of communication concerning SRH because positive parents’ attitudes and perceptions were associated with high levels of SRH communication. The study recommends that SRH should be strengthened at community level to reduce early adolescent child birth and maternal mortality. Also, it concludes that SRH communication is essential for raising awareness on issues of reproductive health which govern future population growth. Therefore, it should be enhanced through promoting positive parents’ attitude and perception towards such communications.
