Resumo: The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between self-esteem and sexual risk taking behavior (non-condom use, early sexual experience, early pregnancy, diverse sexual partners, AIDS and other STDs) on adolescents living in Aracaju. The sample was composed of 159 adolescents, including boys and girls, high school students from two large public schools. Participants were 57.9% female, aged between 14–23 (M= 17.19; SD=1.47). The instrument was adapted from “Juventude Brasileira” study, and it was composed of multiple choices, Likert itens and Rosenberg´s self-esteem scale. Results showed that 55.8% have already had sexual experience and 83.3% use condom regularly. Bivariate analyses suggests that the higher their self-esteem, the lower is the chance of early sexual experience and less sexual behavior using drugs (?²=7.137; p=0.028). Data suggests sexual behavior changes and a positive self-esteem effect upon early debut.Key word: adolescent, sexual risk behavior, self-esteem.

A amostra foi composta por 159 jovens, de ambos os sexos, estudantes do ensino médio de duas grandes escolas públicas da cidade. Participantes eram 57,9% meninas, com idades entre 14 e 23 anos (M=17,19; DP=1,47). O instrumento foi adaptado com questões do “Juventude Brasileira”, descrito no texto, junto com a Escala de Autoestima (Rosenberg). Os resultados mostraram que, dos 55,8% já tiveram relações sexuais, 83,3% usaram a camisinha. As correlações sugerem que quanto maior a autoestima, mais tarde começa a vida sexual e menor a possibilidade estatística de envolver sexo com uso de drogas (?²=7,137; p=0,028). Os dados encontrados apontam mudanças no comportamento sexual e mostram que os altos índices de autoestima parecem influenciar positivamente em aspectos de proteção.Palavras-chave: adolescente, comportamento sexual de risco, autoestima.Unisinos2012-12-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/article/view/ctc.2012.52.0410.4013/ctc.2012.52.04Contextos Clínicos; v. 5 n. 2 (2012): Jul-Dez; 100-1111983-3482reponame:Contextos Clínicosinstname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/article/view/ctc.2012.52.04/1209Melo Neto, Othon CardosoCerqueira-Santos, Elderinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-12-19T14:54:48Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/2600Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicosPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/contextosclinicos/oaidfalcke@unisinos.br||periodicos@unisinos.br1983-34821983-3482opendoar:2012-12-19T14:54:48Contextos Clínicos - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
