A compreensão dos adolescentes de uma escola municipal localizada no norte do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul a respeito de sua saúde sexual e reprodutiva

Abstract

This research, entitled "The Understanding of Adolescents from a Municipal School located in the north of the State of Rio Grande Do Sul regarding their Sexual and Reproductive Health", is configured as the Residency Completion Work (TCR) of the Multiprofessional Health Residency Program - Primary Care/Family and Community Health, of the Federal University of the Southern Frontier, Passo Fundo campus. The research was developed, created and formulated between March 2022 and February 2024. Within the program's theoretical timetable, which includes the subjects worked on each day, is the so-called "Health Research, Intervention Project and Course Completion Work", which is divided into the four semesters of residency, each of which is responsible for preparing a stage of the residency completion work. They are divided as follows: TCR I - Territorial Diagnosis; TCR II - Research-Intervention Project; TCR III - Fieldwork Report and Research-Intervention Pathway; and TCR IV - Scientific Article. The research in question is a qualitative study of an exploratory and descriptive nature, in which the researcher set out to analyze the understanding of adolescents attending elementary school regarding their sexual and reproductive health. Interviews were therefore carried out in order to gather data that would answer the research's guiding question. After collecting and determining this data, it was possible to come up with some key questions regarding understanding, difficulties, the relationship with the environment in which they live and the weight of society on this stigma. Actions were thus developed to promote, exchange knowledge, create bonds and break down the health/education barrier with the students from the participating grades at the selected school. So that, even after the end of this action, the topic can continue to be worked on by health professionals, educators and students
