Abstract
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo explorar las nociones sobre las conductas
sexuales de riesgo (CSR) y la relación de las mismas con las expectativas a futuro y la
educación sexual recibida en adolescentes de una escuela pública de Lima-Centro. Para
ello, se diseñó una guía de entrevista semiestructurada que se administró a 12
adolescentes, 6 varones y 6 mujeres. El análisis temático de las entrevistas identificó 7
categorías: expectativas a futuro, conducta de riesgo, conducta sexual de riesgo,
relaciones sexuales en la adolescencia, relación entre la conducta sexual de riesgo y las
expectativas a futuro, estereotipos de género en las relaciones sexuales y educación
sexual. Los resultados muestran que existe una relación entre las CSR y las expectativas
a futuro ya que las y los adolescentes tienen una preocupación por las consecuencias de
las CSR, específicamente el embarazo durante la adolescencia. Esta preocupación está
más presente en las adolescentes quienes consideran que un embarazo podría impedir que
logren sus planes a futuro. Además, la educación sexual brindada en la escuela resulta ser
muy limitada pues no estaría cumpliendo un rol en la prevención de las CSR en la
adolescencia.
This study aims to explore the notions of sexual risk behaviors [SRB] and its relationships with future expectations and sexual education in adolescents from a public school from Lima, the capital city of Perú. To achieve this goal, a semistructured interview protocol was developed and then it was applied to 12 adolescents, 6 men and 6 women. Interviews thematic analysis led to identify 7 categories: future expectations, risk behavior, sexual risk behavior, adolescent’s sexuality, relationship between sexual risk behavior and future expectations, gender stereotypes in sexual relationships and sex education. Results indicate that there is a relationship between SRB and future expectations since adolescents have a concern about the consequences of SRB, specifically pregnancy during adolescence. This concern is more visible in female adolescents who believe that a pregnancy could prevent them from achieving their future plans. In addition, sexual education offered at school is very limited, not accomplishing its duty of educating adolescents in prevention of SRB.
