Educación sexual y conductas sexuales de riesgo en adultos jóvenes: Una revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract:During pre-professional internships in a clinical setting, a frequent clinical problem was identified: limited sex education among young adults and its relationship to risky sexual behaviors. This observation motivated the development of a systematic review whose purpose was to explore the possible association between these variables. The studies analyzed showed a significant correlation between both factors, highlighting how the lack of adequate knowledge negatively impacts sexual decision-making, the use of protection, and the development of self-care skills. Based on these findings, a simulated clinical case was designed for a young university student presenting with generalized anxiety focused on her sex life, marked by feelings of guilt, misinformation, and low assertiveness. The treatment was structured using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This work integrated practical experience, scientific evidence, and clinical application, promoting an evidence-based intervention.
