Dr. K. Rajasekhar , R. Mahendranath Chowdary
Abstract :
Youth/adolescents reproductive health needs are poorly understood and ill served and are rarely considered as a distinct group with special needs. Whatever knowledge they have, is incomplete and many a time confusing. Limited education on reproductive health and inhibited attitude towards sex related issues accentuate this ignorance .The aim and objective of the present study is to understand the level of knowledge and attitude among professional students of nursing, pharmacy and MBA students. The study covered 160 professional students selected form nursing, pharmacy and MBA professional courses. The present study’s findings revealed that knowledge and attitude levels of different groups regarding adolescent’s reproductive health were differ and comparable. Most of the sample still lack awareness about various aspects of physiological and psychological development and particularly the level of awareness about reproductive and sexual health issues. The results suggested that providing self instructional material on various aspects of reproductive health education will tackle the problems of disseminating appropriate health and reproductive health information within the norms accepted by the society.
