The lecture about sexual health among young people was very informative and relevant. According to a research made in Denmark 2010, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases are increasing, due to the sexual behavior among youngsters and insufficient sexual education.
We very much liked the fable about the "Babies in the river", because it had a very clear message that a problem cannot be solved without considering the root of the problem. In this case, the sexually transmitted diseases can't be minimized or even eradicated without proper educational programs.
The discussion about sexual health anamnesis brought up some rather interesting reflections about our different opinions regarding to the subject. We all agreed that you have to be professional as a nurse, but because this is a very sensitive issue, the nurse needs to consider some aspects on how to encounter the client's needs (environment for the conversation, cultural background, gender, personal values - considering both client and the health care professional).
One of our reflections was about the health care becoming more and more international and about the global phenomenon regarding migration of populations and all the new issues that developed countries' health care system needs to face when it comes to immigrants and especially refugees. They bring with them medical, psychological traumas (hunger, violence, war, genital mutilation) and cultural and religious diversities.
