Educación sexual en el subsistema parento filial con las familias rurales de la Parroquia el Valle durante el periodo febrero 2022- septiembre 2022

Abstract

The role of the family is essential in the sexual education of adolescents, since at this stage the possibility of risky behaviors that may result in unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases increases. This is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach. The data collection technique was the survey, which was validated by experts and applied to a sample of 379 families. The results showed that for most parents talking about sexuality with their children is synonymous with shame and this has been transmitted from generation to generation. It was found that 48% of the children prefer to educate themselves about sexuality, since there is no good communication with their parents, which allows them to clarify their doubts. It is concluded that for these families talking about sexuality with their children represents a taboo subject and this continues to be transferred from parents to children. Consequently, the role of the family is indispensable for the education and training of adolescents on sexuality matters.
