Gynecological consultation from the point of view of adolescents: comprehensive analysis
Keywords:
Adolescent, Gynecology, Perception, ExistentialismAbstract
The purpose of this study was to understand the meaning given by adolescents to a gynecological consultation. I have used a phenomenological approach, according to the concepts of Merleau-Ponty. Data was collected using an open interview. The discourse of the teenagers allowed me to construct three categories: "Expression of Feelings", "Health Care" and "Relation to the health care professional", which show that the consultation brings about embarrassment for them, because they have to talk about their intimacy and expose their bodies for examination, but they manage to overcome these feelings because they recognize it is important to care for their health.Downloads
