这项研究探讨了南非开普敦市Khayelitsha镇年轻的五旬节基督教妇女向成年过渡时性健康与宗教之间的关系。在2019年2月至8月期间，进行了11次半结构化访谈和3次焦点小组讨论。研究采用了主位分析和语篇分析的方法对所收集的数据进行分析。研究发现，性健康与宗教之间的关系是复杂和多方面的，受到宗教对“正确”和“错误”的二分法、社会经济限制和文化的影响。尽管人们认为宗教对青年的性生活和社会生活的影响有所下降，但宗教在塑造青年人的梦想、抱负和生活方式方面继续发挥着重要作用，特别是在他们向成年过渡的时候。因此，我们认为，宗教是青年妇女用来发展其性和社会身份的一个重要的精神和文化资源，尽管它并不总是等同于她们的性行为或与性健康有关的决策。有鉴于此，教会仍应被视为抗击艾滋病毒的关键伙伴，因为它们的参与可以成为应对贫困和不确定性的年轻人的稳定力量。教会与年轻人的接触应提供包括但不限于性健康的方案。
This study explored the relationship between sexual health and religion among young, Pentecostal Christian women navigating the transition to adulthood in Khayelitsha township, in the City of Capetown, South Africa. Between February and August 2019, eleven semi-structured interviews and three focus group discussions were conducted. Thematic analysis and discourse analysis were used to analyse the data collected. The study found that the relationship between sexual health and religion was complex and multifaceted, shaped by the religious dichotomisation of “right” and “wrong”, socio-economic constraints and culture. Despite the perceived decline of religious influence on the sexual and social lives of youth, religion continues to play an instrumental role in shaping the dreams, aspirations and lifestyles of young people, especially as they transition to adulthood. We argue therefore, that religion is a significant spiritual and cultural resource that young women use to develop their sexual and social identities, although it cannot always be equated with their sexual practice or decision-making related to sexual health. In the light of this, churches should still be seen as key partners in the fight against HIV as their involvement can act as a stabilising force for young people dealing with poverty and uncertainty. Church engagement with young people should offer programmes that include but are not limited to sexual health.
