“…Teachers trained to counsel adolescents and their parents about sexual reproductive health issues. 20 These findings are consistent with the findings of other school-based studies among junior high school students in Malaysia, that was effective in enhancing sexual health knowledge, creating a positive attitude toward sexuality, and fostering among students in intervention group the intention to refuse to take sexual risks. 21 Also, a study by Bleakley confirmed that adolescents obtained sexual information from friends, teachers, parents, and media.…”

Background: Knowledge of elementary students about reproductive health in Indonesia still lack. There are so many students who did not know how to maintain good reproductive health. Efforts to give lessons reproductive health or sex education to elementary school age children today is still considering taboo, but this problem should be anticipated as soon as possible. To decrease maternal mortality rate and unmet-need needs innovation to educate students. Education about reproductive health is one of strategic ways to increase elementary students’ knowledge and attitudes about reproductive health. This study conducted to evaluate effect of reproductive health education and provision of media on elementary students in Brebes.Methods: This study utilized quasi experimental pre and post-test one group design. Population of these study 70 elementary students (3 Government ES) in Brebes.Results: Based on the results of different test with Wilcoxon Match paired Test obtained were significant differences between the respondents' knowledge and attitudes before and after reproductive health education and provision of media (p=0.001).Conclusions: That means there were significant interventions in the form of education and provision of media to increase knowledge and attitudes of respondent about reproductive health. The results demonstrate that interventions can significantly improve knowledge and attitudes of respondents (p<0.005; Delta: 19.82). Recommendation to improve risk of maternal mortality rate is a reproductive health education with early intervention in young elementary school age children as one of strategic actions to improving knowledge and minimize incidence of teenage pregnancy.

“…The critical and symptomatic situation of adolescents' earlier sexual life associated with greater contamination of adolescents and young people with AIDS, in the southern region of Brazil, calls for a broad discussion of what is being done and what should have been done about it [7] and that it will be developed in another article. The point is that sex education is always drifting, and it is strongly influenced by changes in government policies and public opinion [8] [9]. Therefore, it is worrisome that twenty years ago, in 1998, the sex education was officially included, in the Brazilian national school curriculum [10] (the so-called National Curriculum Parameters) as a cross-cutting theme that should be linked to the contents of each school subject, in the primary (from the sixth grade) and high schools.…”

The present article shows the connection between sex education workshops and mathematics teaching, and how schoolchildren can learn from this discipline more healthy and caring behaviors regarding their sexual life. The schoolchildren who have received sex education in the math context recall more about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and claim to be better acquainted with prevention methods. A significant advance of our sexual and reproductive health program is the sharp decrease of 15% (p < 0.025) among adolescents who never use condoms. Thus, the teaching of mathematics adequately oriented to sex education may contribute (along with other school disciplines) to greater protection of adolescents, in the southern region of Brazil. Also, it is possible to confirm that creative educational strategies can make a big difference in the prevention of adolescents and young people contamination with STDs, in Brazil and worldwide.

“…Entretanto, alguns estudos, como o realizado pelo Centro Brasileiro de Análise e Planejamento (CEBRAP) e o de Andrade et al (2009), evidenciaram que as informações a respeito das DST/AIDS não estimulam práticas sexuais nem abstinência, mas sim o comportamento sexual responsável. Desse modo, não há nenhuma evidência que suporte o pensamento de evitar a discussão sobre DST/AIDS (ROMERO et al, 2007;COELHO et al, 2011).…”

RESUMO: Revisão integrativa que objetivou identificar o que a literatura científica tem abordado acerca das doenças sexualmente transmissíveis relacionado ao escolar da educação básica no Brasil. A investigação ocorreu por meio de acesso à Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, utilizando os descritores "doenças sexualmente transmissíveis", "saúde escolar" e "educação sexual", entre os anos de 2003 a 2012, tendo sido selecionados oito estudos. Os resultados evidenciaram que o tema, apesar de bastante difundido no âmbito escolar, está pouco esclarecido para os jovens escolares, principalmente no que concerne ao entendimento sobre a transmissão e contaminação. A escola tem o dever de orientar e direcionar os alunos para uma prática preventiva, por meio de programas educacionais e abordagem correta. Conclui-se que há necessidade de capacitação dos profissionais, seguida de incremento dos estudos, a fim de que estratégias sejam desenvolvidas no intuito de melhorar a educação e a saúde, algo indissociável e indispensável em qualquer população.
