BackgroundYoung people are at a greater risk of poor sexual health and hence, require comprehensive, effective sexual health education. These cohort are constant users of social media which presents many innovative possibilities for sexual health education.MethodsA guided search was conducted on scientific and medical databases. Selected publications within the last five years on sexual health education were classified according to their study designs, sexual health promotion/education as the main subject, target audience age, and social media use. In all, 25 publications met the inclusion criteria out of which 60% were observational studies, 12% randomised controls and 28% non-randomised. About 96% publications reporting on the main subject sexual health promotion or education. Sixty (60%) of the included publications reported specifically on young people between the ages of 12-30 years.ResultsAbout 72% of the studies found that social media has positive effects on knowledge, behaviour, and attitudes of young people and 20% reported on its negative effects on young people.ConclusionSocial media is promising in promoting knowledge, behavioural and attitudinal change in young people. However, further research is required to improve sexual health program implementation and audience reach as well as determine the effectiveness of social media in changing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours.

“…Sobre los resultados de la validación por estudiantes, se destaca la valoración positiva que realizaron respecto al instrumento al referir que les sensibilizó en relación con las implicaciones del género sobre los problemas y situaciones que enfrentan los/as usuarios/as. Que el estudiantado participante haya reconocido este aspecto resulta de relevancia ya que la literatura es coincidente sobre que, en Chile y en general en los países occidentales, siguen operando patrones culturales entre los jóvenes que reproducen estereotipos y representaciones tradicionales de género que perpetúan la discriminación y la inequidad entre los sexos (Cubillas et al 2016;García y Castro 2017;Maes et al 2019). Dicho en otras palabras, el/la estudiante requiere de un apoyo en su formación para que sea capaz de identificar los sesgos que podrían tener sus propias orientaciones y prejuicios de género sobre el trabajo diagnóstico.…”

Este estudio describe el proceso de construcción y validación de un protocolo que tiene el propósito de orientar la transversalización de la perspectiva de género en el diagnóstico, en el contexto de actividades prácticas formativas de la carrera de psicología. Se trató de un estudio de tipo cualitativo con enfoque de corte aplicado que implicó un procedimiento de diseño de este instrumento a partir de la sistematización de documentos curriculares y entrevistas a estudiantes y docentes; así como su posterior examinación por medio de juicios de expertos y retroalimentaciones de estudiantes usuarios. Se encontró que el protocolo apoya al estudiante a identificar los sesgos que pueden tener sus propios prejuicios de género sobre el trabajo diagnóstico. Se concluye que este material contribuye al desarrollo de la competencia de diagnóstico en psicología y que puede ser un recurso valioso para el logro del perfil de egreso de los/as futuros/as profesionales.

“…This kind of statements can be related to the acceptance of rape myths, which are de ined as "prejudicial, stereotyped or false beliefs about rape, rape victims, and rapists" and communication media may be contributing to these myths. The role of media therefore becomes very important regarding the development of sexist beliefs in adolescents, more precisely, beliefs about different measures to combat sexism such as the #MeToo movement, a movement which may be criticised due to sexual objecti ication, which is fed by sexually explicit material online [21].…”

“…Consequently, people who use these contents more frequently have greater probability of having attitudes which lead to sexual assault, and participating in acts of this kind, than those who do not use this content, or who do so to a lesser extent [22]. In addition, some men who use pornography show signi icantly higher adverse sexual beliefs, accept the rape myth and sexual conservatism, in greater measure than women who also consume pornography [10,21]. Thus increased research demonstrates that exposure to sexually explicit and violent media may be risk factors regarding partner violence and sexual violence [24].…”

Knowing the possible origin of sexist attitudes in adolescents is essential when educating them to avoid gender violence derived from them. Nurses have an important role in education for the health of children and adolescents, so we must study the risk factors that lead to these attitudes and how to prevent them. Some studies such as Landripet, et al. have undertaken to study the association between frequency of pornography use and preference for violent and coercive content in male adolescents. Sexism and pornography use have been associated by various authors. Hostile sexism is the most obvious and traditional form, based on the supposed inferiority or difference of women as a group. According to benevolent sexism, women are understood as deserving of affection, respect and protection, as long as they are limited to certain traditional feminine roles. The second is even more difficult to detect. Our aim in this work is to evaluate ambivalent sexist attitudes in young adolescents in the province of Jaén and check whether there is a relationship between use of pornography and sexual content, and the kinds of sexism studied, in order to be able to prevent these attitudes as nurses through health education. The final sample was made up of 150 participants from all school years, belonging to the same secondary school, 74 male and 76 female. They were aged between 12 and 18 years old. One of the conclusions of this work has been that the use of new technologies is in addition starting at even younger ages due to the situation of online teaching due to the pandemic, and it has been observed that age at first use is a determining factor.
