Aim:
Although adolescence ismarked by profound and dynamic
changes, yet it is virtually neglected by health care providers,
by society and even by most parents, teachers and health
professionals. The aim of this study was to investigate barriers
to health education in adolescents from health care providers’
views compared to teens.
Methods:
The study population consisted of 72 health care
providers and 402 high school female students in Northern
Iran in 2012. They were completed a self-administered
questionnaire around their views about barriers to adolescents’
health education.
Results:
It’s revealed that the major barrier to adolescents’
health education from health care providers’ perspective was
“Lack of private room for adolescents’ health education,”
while “Lack of adolescents’ interest to content of educational
programs”was a significantly greater barrier tohealtheducation
among adolescents.
Conclusion:
The results suggest that for adolescent’ health
education, specific strategies should be used in adolescents’
health promotion programs.
