Efectos psicológicos de la implementación de la educación sexual integral en instituciones educativas públicas.

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to describe the psychological effects of students in public educational institutions derived from the implementation of comprehensive sexuality education projects, using a qualitative approach. In order to fulfill the proposed objective, a documentary review was carried out in which a total of 30 articles were taken from different countries in the American, Asian and European contexts, which were selected taking into account that they could be classified within one of the proposed categories, which were: Autonomy (AT), Social Relations (RS), Sexual Abuse (AS) and Sexually Transmitted Infections (ITS). The data were organized using summary sheets and a bibliographic matrix; the information was also analyzed using a content analysis matrix. The results obtained showed that adolescents who are guaranteed access to quality comprehensive sexual education programs are positively influenced in factors such as the development of skills related to autonomy, the establishment of positive relationships, prevention of sexual abuse and STI transmission; likewise, they are less likely to suffer from mental illnesses derived from risky behaviors adopted when, on the contrary, they don’t have access to the necessary information, such as: Depression, anxiety, distortions in self-image, affections in selfesteem and eating disorders.
