艾滋病毒和艾滋病正在世界上15至24岁年龄组中迅速蔓延，特别是在撒哈拉以南非洲。尽管政府采取了有力的干预措施和宣传活动，但15-24岁年龄组的南非青年中仍有10%感染了艾滋病毒和艾滋病。此外，世界上30岁以下的人数在历史上首次达到最多。研究人员正在拼命寻找解决方案，并发现宗教在缓和年轻人的危险性行为方面发挥着重要作用。这项探索性的定性研究旨在增加我们对新兴成人继续教育和培训（FET）学生对宗教和宗教信仰在其性决策和实践中的作用的认识。定性数据来自五个焦点小组讨论，每个小组由12名年龄在18-24岁的异性恋新兴成人FET大学生组成，采用随机抽样。与会者代表了南非所有主要种族群体（黑人、白人、有色人种和印第安人）以及不同的宗教和文化群体。世俗化理论被用来作为本研究的理论框架。这些焦点小组讨论揭示了以下主题：主题1-宗教机构需要接受变革，以便成为变革的有效社会推动者。主题2-需要就当前与青年人性健康有关的问题进行公开讨论和交流（由宗教机构/宗教领袖进行）。主题3-对宗教对性行为的消极制裁的看法。主题4----宗教领袖对青年面临的问题漠不关心和推卸责任。主题5-宗教和与安全套有关的信仰。主题6-将宗教领袖视为榜样。主题7-新兴成年人对社会道德败坏的普遍关注。主题8-对宗教是否影响青年人的性决策和性行为的看法。
HIV and AIDS are rapidly spreading amongst the world’s 15- to 24-year age group, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite vigorous government interventions and campaigns, 10 % of South African youth in the age cohort 15–24 are infected with HIV and AIDS. Furthermore, for the first time in history the world has its largest number of individuals under the age of 30 years. Researchers are desperately seeking a solution and have found religion to play an important role in moderating risky sexual behaviour amongst youth. This exploratory qualitative study aims to increase our understanding of emerging adult Further Education and Training (FET) students’ perceptions of the role of religion and religious beliefs in their sexual decision-making and practices. The qualitative data emerged from five focus group discussions, each consisting of 12 heterosexual emerging adult FET college students aged 18–24 years, selected using random sampling. Participants were representative of all the major South African racial groups (Blacks, Whites, Coloured and Indians) as well as different religious and cultural groupings. Secularisation theory was used as a theoretical framework for this study. These focus group discussions revealed the following themes: Theme 1—religious institutions need to embrace change in order to become effective social agents of change. Theme 2—a need for open discussion and communication concerning current issues related to young people’s sexual health (by religious institutions/religious leaders). Theme 3—perceptions of religion’s negative sanctions towards sexual behaviour. Theme 4—religious leaders’ indifference and abdication of responsibility to the problems that youth face. Theme 5—religion and condom-related beliefs. Theme 6—perceptions of religious leaders as role models. Theme 7—emerging adults general concern for the moral decay of society. Theme 8—perceptions of whether religion has an influence on young people’s sexual decision-making and practices.
