Abstract
Sexual education in Lithuanian schools is poorly structured and, in most cases, not based on evidence. Although health care specialists should be the advocates for sharing evidence based knowledge of safe sexual life to Lithuania’s students, it is not obligatory within the national high school program. LUHS residents of obstetrics and gynecology were invited to “Health education days“ in LUHS gymnasium to give a talk about sexual education on 6 different sexual education topics: girls’ and boys’ puberty, sexually transmitted diseases, contraception, sexual abuse, HPV and vaccination. There were 6 structured, evidence based schemes created for this purpose. The different topic lectures were divided into various age student groups from 5 to 12 grades. 25 classes were participating in sexual education project. After the lectures, 750 questionnaires were provided and distributed to students. Participants were requested to give their feedback on the following 4-7 questions relevant to the presented lecture: their experience and most engaging information gained/ facts learnt, lecture’s usefulness and relevance, topic comprehensibility, comments, their age and an open space for questions and other suggestions. For example, from the topic concerning contraceptive use 74 out of 79 participants evaluated the usefulness of this lecture at the highest of 4 or 5 points (within 1 to 5 grading system, 1 – useless, 5 – extremely useful). 59 % of students said that information about contraceptive use should be provided from the age of 14. The most useful/valuable/helpful/beneficial part found by the lecture participants was examples and myth investigation of contraceptive use. Responses received were reassuring: educational lectures were proved to be necessary, important, interactive and interesting.
