Text in Afrikaans / Summaries in English and Afrikaans / In an exploratory study variables influencing the intention to use contraceptives and contraceptive use of teenagers and the association between these variables were determined.A random quota sample consisting of 231 and 224 school boys and girls (14 - 18 years) were selected and the final investigating group were 315 sexually active teenagers. According to loglinear analyses the following variables showed a significant relationship with the intention to use contraceptives: attitudes towards the use of contraceptives, perceptions of accessibility and locus of control. Variables that showed a significant relationship with actual contraceptive use were gender, knowledge about reproduction and contraceptives, beliefs and attitudes towards the use of contraceptives, traditional values such as proving fertility before marriage and family size, perceptions of social approval of contraceptive use as well as perceptions of accessibility to contraceptives. An important conclusion was that an urgent need exists for effective sex education programmes and better access to contraceptives. / In 'n verkennende veldstudie is faktore wat verband hou met swart tienderjariges se intensie om kontraseptiewes te gebruik en werklike kontraseptiewe gebruik ge'identifiseer en die verhoudings tussen die faktore is bepaal.

The contributory factors to high teenage pregnancy rate at Ehlanzeni District in the Mpumalanga ProvinceMkhantswa, Sibongile Gertrude 07 April 2015 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the contributory factors to the high teenage pregnancy rate within a district hospital in the Ehlanzeni district of the Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. Quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive and exploratory research was conducted to explore the contributory factors to the high teenage pregnancy rate. Data collection was done using a self-designed structured interview schedule.
The findings of the study supported the assumptions that there are factors related to biography, individual perceptions, knowledge and awareness of; and practices, perceptions regarding the use of contraception. Perceived seriousness and barriers to the use of safeguards that could have prevented pregnancy contribute to the high teenage pregnancy rate thus emphasise the need to develop strategies to prevent teenage pregnancies / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Adolescent girls living in Rustenburg : gender roles, gender relations and future expectations as womenPaxton, Rae-Julie 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Arguing from a social constructionist perspective and using a qualitative methodology the
aim of the present study was to explore different dimensions of gender amongst a group of
adolescent girls between the ages of 14 and 18 years living in Rustenburg, South Africa.
More specifically it explores and describes the following aspects of gender amongst these
girls: (a) how young adolescent girls living in Rustenburg perceive gender roles in general
and how they perceive their own roles in particular (b) their gender relations with other
adolescents and (c) their views on and expectations of the future as women. The rationale
for selecting Rustenburg as the geographical area of research is due to its semi-rural
location. While rural communities are generally perceived to be more conservative than
urban areas they do not escape modernizing influences such as the mass media. An
underlying theme of the present study is thus to ascertain whether or not the girls in
Rustenburg still have relatively conservative perceptions regarding gender.
The fmdings of the present study reveal that the participants have broken away from
conforming to traditional roles assigned to women and would like to combine new modem
roles with existing traditional roles. It is also clear that the mass media has a considerable
influence in this regard. According to the respondents society values .a woman that can
succeed in being a good mother, wife and home-keeper as well as being a career woman.
Most of the participants want to fulfil these multiple roles. The advantages of being career
women, according to these participants, are that such women are independent and
fmancially self-reliant.
Regarding gender relations, friendships with girls and boys are of equal importance to the
respondents. On the one hand sufficient common ground exists to interact comfortably with
boys, while on the other hand interacting with boys is seen as useful in obtaining insight
into the life world of boys. However, a general opinion held by the girls is that they feel
more comfortable to discuss more personal and intimate topics with their girl friends.
Relationships with younger girls and factors influencing popularity among girls were also
explored as themes.
Future expectations that are shared by participants are that they would like to complete their
school education and attend a technikon or university to further their education. Their future career expectations cover a wide range of occupational choices. Most of the participants
want to get married in future - the ages varying between 25 and 30. They would also like to
have children but only once they have established a good career. Their main concerns for
the future are whether or not there will be job opportunities for them in the careers that they
want to pursue. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was om ondersoek in te stel na die volgende aspekte van 'n
veelrassige groep adolessente meisies in Rustenburg se opvattings m.b.t. gender: (a) hul
opvattings oor genderrolle in die algemeen en hul eie rolle in besonder; (b) hul
genderverhoudings met ander adolessente; en (c) hul sienings oor en verwagtings van die
toekoms. Die studie is gegrond in 'n sosiaal-konstruksionistiese perspektief en het gebruik
gemaak van 'n kwalitatiewe metodologie. Indiwiduele onderhoude sowel as
fokusgroepsessies is onderneem met 10 meisies tussen die ouderdomme van 14 en 18 jaar.
Rustenburg is as geografiese area gekies weens die semi-landelike aard van die
gemeenskap. Alhoewel landelike gemeenskappe dikwels as meer konservatief beskou word
as stedelike areas spring hul nie moderniserende invloede soos die massamedia vry nie. 'n
Onderliggende tema van die studie was dus on te bepaal of die meisies in Rustenburg not
steeds relatief konserwatiewe genderopvattings het.
Die studie het bevind dat respondente nie meer volledig konformeeraan tradisionele rolle
wat aan vroue toegeskryf word nie en graag nuwe moderne rolle wil kombineer met
bestaande tradisionele rolle. Dit is ook duidelik dat die massamedia 'n groot invloed het in
hierdie verband. Volgens die respondente word 'n vrou wat suksesvol is as goeie moeder,
eggenoot en tuisteskepper sowel in 'n loopbaan hoog gewaardeer. Die meerderheid van die
respondente wil hierdie meervoudige rolle vervul. Volgens die respondente is die voordeel
van 'n loopbaan vir vroue daarin geleë dat hulle onafhanklik en fmansieël
selfonderhoudend kan wees.
Met betrekking tot genderverhoudings is bevind dat vriendskappe met meisies en seuns ewe
belangrik is vir die respondent. Aan die een kant bestaan daar voldoende gemeenskaplike
belangstellings om gemaklik met seuns te kommunikeer, terwyl interaksie met seuns aan
die ander kant ook nuttige insigte bide in die leefwêreld van seuns. Die algemene mening
van die meisies is egter dat hul meer op hul gemak voel om persoonlike en intieme sake
met hul meisievriende te bespreek. Daar is ook ondersoek ingestel na die verhoudings met
jonger meisises sowel as faktore wat die gewildheid van meisies bepaal.
'n Gemeenskaplike toekomsverwagting van die respondente is dat hulle hul skoolopleiding
wil voltooi en daarna tersiêre opleiding aan 'n universiteit of technikon wilondergaan. Hulle het egter uiteenlopende loopbaanverwagtings. Die meerderheid wil in die toekoms in
die huwelik tree - met ouderdomme wat wissel tussen 25 en 30. Hulle wilook kinders hê,
maar slegs nadat hul gevestig is in 'n goeie loopbaan. 'n Belangrike besorgdheid oor die
toekoms is egter of daar voldoende werksgeleenthede sal wees in die loopbane wat hul wil
volg.
