Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Social and parental restriction along with unregulated TV and internet uses has perhaps distorted the essential sexual knowledge in adolescents, causing adventurous sexual attempts. In this study, we have queried various controlled personal and sexual questions to 250 students (consisted of 150 boys and 100 girls) of age 15-18 yrs. We have also interviewed SMFQ and anxiety questionnaire to the students for their assessment of mental and behavioral status. Questions were assessed based on syllabus, nature of school, religion, type of family, comfortable with parents, hour of TV and internet viewing. Our result shows that adolescents from girls only school were more sexually educated and were least likely to be indulged in any reproductive health problems. We also noted that that from minority community comparatively was more anxious (24-36% boys were recorded with >7 score) and depressed (100% girls were recorded with >10 score) than the majority community. Our result clearly showed that more hours of TV viewing pose serious anxiety and depression threats in adolescents (42% boys and 62% girls were scored >4 on anxiety questionnaire). Similarly, internet also poses similar threat but its influence on youth is lower than television. Participants who were comfortable with their parents showed lower anxiety and depression (23% boys were scored >7; 8% boys were scored >10).We conclude from this study that religion have a direct effect on sexual performances in a society, more restriction and regulations will have adverse effect on adolescents and Children who are comfortable with their parents are least likely to be involved in criminal activity.
