Hi everyone!
The prevention is very interesting and important for the life! There are many types of prevention, today I will write about "ITS prevention"
The ITS ( sexually transmitted infection) affect at big porcentage at the comunnity, for example, in Chile, Santiago is a king of sifilis!.In this area (prevention) the midwife is important, because is very necessary that the comunnity knows prevention methods, like a condon, abstinence, and unique pair.
One of forms for prevention is education. In the schools, universitys, give talk,provide written information,etc...the important is: that young people know that their sexual behaviors have consequences.
How to prevent at the individual, family and community level.
At the individual level, the prevention should be primarily based on information, because people do not know the risks of unprotected sex life. In my opinion. And in the family level, is important to inform housewives, because they are the organizers of the home, whatever prevention, from nutrition to different topics such as sexuality.
At the community level, we need government commitment, with mass campaigns (radio, television, posters) and reinforcement in schools. For the sexually active age in the school is 14-17 years.
Midwives, can interfere to individual and community level, but the main objective is prevention at the community level.
is important to inform our patients about risk factors, and ask about her sexual life and sexual life of their daughters, to intervene in them.
In our work (for example: hospital), we can organize and interactive educational talks to mothers and adolescents.
prevention is better than cure!!!
Regards!
