- Sexuality experiences in youth of the 3rd cycle: a scoping reviewPublication . Neves, C.; Figueiredo, R.; David, R.; Dias, H.; Amendoeira, J.; Silva, M.Introduction: Adolescence is characterized by a period of change towards autonomy. The need of assessment of sexuality is essential to promote healthy sexual health. The intervention of the nurse is to evaluate the needs and behaviours of adolescents, related to sexuality, with the aim of promoting healthy sexual health. Objective: Intends to map the adolescents’ needs, related to sexuality and sexual health. Methods: Scoping review based on the methodology of Joanna Briggs Institute. A review question was created, which guided the work and helped to establish the inclusion criteria: population (adolescents of the 3rd cycle [aged between 13 and 15 years]), concepts (sexuality, adolescent, needs assessment and sexual health), and context (adolescence). PubMed and ProQuest were used as databases, with a chronological drawing of 5 years (January 2014-2019), among other limiters. The search expression was ‘‘Sexuality AND Adolescent OR Needs Assessment AND Sexual Health. Two qualitative studies were selected for analysis. The evaluation of the methodological quality was done through PRISMA flowchart 2009. Results: The first article sought to build a contextual development framework that could be used to identify, understand and respond to adolescents’ sexual behaviours. The second article investigated the adolescents’ needs and hopes about sex education. The adolescents identify as their sexuality needs that the approaches in the sexual education sessions are not only focused on the biological aspect, but also on the emotional and affective dimensions, leaving aside more conservative and risky views. It showed that they prefer when teachers speak this topic at home by family members or, in school environment. Conclusion: The articles were conducted regarding adolescents’ development, health and sexual safety, and their needs about sex education, as well as exploring the role of health and education sectors.
- The influence of peers on the experience of sexuality in adolescence: a scoping reviewPublication . Dias, H.; Amendoeira, J.; Silva, M.; Cruz, O.Introduction In adolescence, the interaction of young people with their peers has been identified as an influencing factor in responsibility, maturity and healthy development, and in particular experience of sexuality, which can lead to risky behaviours. We try to answer the following question: How does peer influence reflect in the experience of sexuality in adolescence? Objetives To identify peer influence in the experience of sexuality in adolescence. Methods Conducted a scoping review in ProQuest and PubMed using the search expression ‘‘Peer Influence And Adolescent And Sexuality Or Sexual Behaviour’’. Inclusion criteria: Population (the adolescents), concept (Peer influence and Sexuality) and context (adolescence). Types of studies: qualitative and quantitative. Used a 5-year chronological frieze (January 2014-2019). For the evaluation of the methodological quality, the PRISMA flowchart 2009 was used. There were six articles for analysis. Results There is great vulnerability in adolescents; they are in a phase of social, emotional and cognitive development. They make inappropriate decisions that increase sexual risky behaviour. Their behaviours are to satisfy their sexual partners, sacrificing their wants in order to keep their partners interested. The most popular young people have a significant influence on the behaviour of the outer adolescents. Adolescents refer that the discipline of Sexual Education in schools is beneficial. Conclusion Adolescents are influenced by their peers in decision making to romantic/sexual relationships. Peers are the main source of information about sexual health, which means they are possibly getting ‘‘not trustworthy’’ information. It is important to perceive their necessities so that the interventions made in the sexual education programs are adequate, so that adolescents become more resistant to peer pressure. Thus, the nurse is central to the changes in the adolescents’ lifestyle through empowerment strategies that promote health.

The internal and external validation will be done through a group interview, where the interviewees will be the investigators of Your PEL project, and the spoken speech will be submitted to content analysis.

Two studies were included. The scoping review did not allow the identification of studies with effective implementation of smoking cessation programs. However, they contribute to identify influencing factors and strategies for the implementation of smoking cessation programs.
