Methods: Research design was descriptive correlation study.There were 2 groups of samples, the sex-risk group and the non sex-risk group. The sex-risk group consisted of 325 female adolescent students who were selected by purposive sampling with the social dimension form constructed by the researchers. The social dimension form contained 6 risk behaviors and 8 general data. The female adolescent students who had one of the six risks and were confirmed by the classroom teacher would be listed in the sex-risk group.

There were 21 questions of true-false answers with 1 score for the true answer and 0 score for the false answer. The data were collected from the samples and were analyzed by percent and x2-test. Results: Overall, the sex-risk group and the non sex-risk group had very low levels of family problems (35.4% and 20.1% respectively). However, the sex-risk group had more problems than the non sex-risk group with statistical significance (p<0.01). When considering items of family problems, it was found that the sex-risk group had more problems in 19 of 21 items than the non sex-risk group. The two most common problems, which were at average level (>50%), were item 17: father and mother did not allow the children to go out with friends (x2 =21.0) and item 1: father worked outside with little time to talk to the children (x2 =18.3). Conclusion: The family problems were found in the sex-risk group more than the non-sex risk group with statistical significance. |
