父母-青少年性健康沟通（SHC）是一种可以减少青少年性健康不良后果的保护因素，SHC的频率、质量和内容可以预测其有效性。然而，关于这一主题的研究范围有限，绝大多数集中在母亲身上。并且通常只包括父母或青少年的观点，而不包括二人组的两个成员。本研究利用二次横截面数据，使用ANCOVA、逻辑回归、相关性和卡方分析来调查父母-青少年SHC 中的父母-性别差异。参与者包括 341 名父母-青少年二人组。与父亲相比，母亲认为父母青春期SHC更重要、更舒适，并且对SHC的自我效能感比父亲更高，对SHC的保留更少。母亲还报告说，与父亲相比，母亲更频繁、更广泛地与孩子谈论性健康。除一项性健康主题外，青少年报告的父母-青少年 SHC 的频率、质量和内容并没有因父母性别而存在显着差异。二元分析显示，母亲和孩子在父母与青少年 SHC 的报告中往往比父亲和孩子更认同。这些发现表明，父亲可能需要额外的资源来帮助他们自信地参与有效的父母-青少年 SHC。
Parent-adolescent sexual health communication (SHC) is a protective factor that can reduce adverse adolescent sexual health outcomes, and the frequency, quality, and content of SHC predicts its effectiveness. However, research on this topic has been limited in scope, overwhelmingly focused on mothers; and often has only included the parent or adolescent perspective, not both members of the dyad. Using secondary cross-sectional data, this study used ANCOVA, logistic regression, correlational, and chi-square analyses to investigate parent-gender differences in parent-adolescent SHC. Participants included 341 parent-adolescent dyads. Compared to fathers, mothers rated parent-adolescent SHC as more important and more comfortable, and had greater self-efficacy for and fewer reservations about SHC than fathers. Mothers also reported talking more frequently and more broadly with their child about sexual health than fathers. Adolescent-reported frequency, quality, and content of parent-adolescent SHC did not differ significantly by parent gender, except for one sexual health topic. Dyadic analyses revealed that mothers and their children tended to agree more in their reports of parent-adolescent SHC than fathers and their children. These findings suggest that fathers may need additional resources to help them confidently engage in effective parent-adolescent SHC.
