Abordando sexualidade na escola

Abstract

From the preparation of the situation analysis of the coverage area of the Basic Health Unit Canafístula located in Alagoas Taquarana, realized the lack of strategies to address issues of sexuality in school. Teenagers have exacerbated behavior regarding sexuality. The prioritization of the problem took into account that adolescents, in most cases, do not usually attend health services for information and that the health team does not develop actions for this subject at school. In addition to considerable concern about the vulnerability of adolescents because of cases of teenage pregnancy and risk of sexually transmitted diseases transmission, this study aimed to propose an action plan for creating a space for reflection and discussion about sexuality in school. For drawing up the contingency plan we used the method of Situational Strategic Planning (PES) and literature in Google Scholar databases, LILACS and SciELO, using the keywords: adolescence, sexuality, teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Addressing this issue in school helps to widen the knowledge of adolescents about sexuality to exercise healthily. So, explore the school environment to work in health education about sexuality appears as a good strategy to increase knowledge of adolescents, inserting them as active subjects of the shares, and narrow the gap between the health team and adolescents.
