Abstract

This research aimed to design an educational proposal on sexual and reproductive health for high school students at the Doctor Misael Acosta Solis Educational Unit of the Baños Canton. The students were identified according to sociodemographic and knowledge variables. The methodology was based on a cross-sectional descriptive study supported by a documentary approach. For the sample, 95 participants were selected, corresponding to one hundred percent of high school students who were evaluated through the application of a survey with a 15-item questionnaire designed by the researcher based on the proposed objective. According to the data obtained, the lack of knowledge on sexual and reproductive health issues was identified by high school students of the Doctor Misael Acosta Solis Educational Unit. The identified problem has allowed the researcher to design an educational proposal consisting of 5 modules of 60 minutes each. It also used a participatory and playful methodology for the holistic well-being ofthe study subjects, oriented to increase the knowledge of students as an integral and collective approach to safe sexuality since this public health problem prevails today as a public health problem with the purpose that the students can develop the educational proposal through the Educational Unit. It is concluded that once the data is analyzed, an academic bid on Sexual and Reproductive Health should be set to contribute to the integral education of the students in the high school and encourage responsible and safe sexual and reproductive health. Finally, it was recommended to implement the educational proposal on sexual and reproductive health, allowing adolescents to have greater access to reliable information and use contraceptive methods correctly and responsibly.
