SRH Information | The scope of SRH topics communicated by parents and adolescents increased after the intervention delivery [b(SE) = 3.26(1.12), p = .005 [15]; but no significant difference was observed in Seif and colleague [1] These two studies measured SRH information as an outcome. However, all other studies reported on SRH information that was discussed during the intervention delivery | The parent / adolescent sexual communication scale [23] Likert scale Questionnaire | SRH topics discussed by parents and adolescents (pregnancy, STIs, pregnancy and STIs prevention, abortion, abstinence, sex, changes in adolescence, personal hygiene) | "The focus was on the changes in the adolescent, the hormonal changes, the physical changes and attitudinal changes…the need for her to keep herself hygienically during menstruation" (P8, M, 48 years) “We discuss about teenage pregnancy, abortion and sexual transmitted disease and dating” (A9, F, 13 years) "We watch some on television, we use the internet to google and we have books that we read to find information about all these things." (P5, F,39 years) “TV (television), radio, friends, teachers and members in the community, I also hear that from my parents” (A8, F, 14 years) | Qualitative findings explain the quantitative findings that not all SRH topics are communicated by parents, but interventions can promote an increase in SRH communication in general and increase the SRH topics discussed by parents and adolescents The sources of information from the qualitative studies explain the various forms by which interventions can be packaged to meet the communication needs of parents and adolescents | |
