Abstract

Background: The study results in several developing countries show that male and female adolescents aged 18 years have had sex before marriage. Some of the causes of adolescent sexual behavior are due to the lack of communication between adolescents and their closeness to their parents. Teenagers are not open and do not tell their parents what problems they are facing.

Aim: This study aims to determine the relationship between communication patterns and parental closeness with sexual behavior of adolescents at Private Vocational School in Sidoarjo.

Methods: The study design used observational analytic. The number of samples are 90 respondents, taken using a simple random sampling technique. The independent variable is the communication pattern which is measured using the Parent Child Sexual Communication (PCSC) questionnaire, and the closeness of the parents is measured by the Parent Child Quality Relationship (PCQR) questionnaire. The dependent variable is sexual behavior as measured by a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by Chi Square Test (ρ 0.05).

Results: The results showed that the communication pattern of the respondents in the high category was 63,3% (57 respondents), and the low category was 36,7% (33 respondents). The closeness of parents in the high category was 65,6% (59 respondents). Sexual behavior in the non-risk category was 85,6% (77 respondents) and sexual behavior in the risky category was 14,4% (13 respondents). The results showed that there was a relationship between communication patterns and sexual behavior (ρ = 0,003) and there was a relationship between parental closeness and sexual behavior (ρ = 0,001).

Conclusion: The high or low intensity of the communication pattern between parents and their children affects the sexual behavior of teenagers. Communication is very important for families because it is one dimension of the closeness of parents and children. It is important for parents to take time for their children so that communication patterns and closeness between parents and adolescents are harmoniously intertwined so as to prevent adolescents from engaging in premarital sexual behavior. The implications in nursing are expected to increase the role of nurses in providing education about effective communication between parents and adolescents.
