Subject
adolescents, dating, family, risk factors, sexual behavior
Description
Background: One of the problems in adolescents is sexual behavior, which
generally begins with the courtship process and behavior in dating.
Purpose: The study aimed to determine the factors associated with sexual
behavior in adolescents.
Methods: This study used secondary data and analyzed using a crosssectional
design on a sample of 429 adolescents. Quantitative data used the
chi-square test.
Results: One of the factors related to dating behavior is age, which is proven
that dating behaviors such as holding hands (p=0.037), hugging (p=0.002),
kissing lips (p=0.041), while touching/stimulating and having sexual relations
are not related to age factor (p=0.929). Factors such as gender, education
level, area of residence and information exposure were not related to dating
behavior.
Conclusions: There is a relationship between age factors and dating
behavior in adolescents. Cross-sectoral collaboration, the use of digital
media for socialization and education, and strengthening family and religious
functions are strategies used to develop youth health programs.
