Résumé :
|
Focussing on sickle cell disease (SCD), the objective of this study was to assess adolescents' sexual health experience in the context of their chronic illness. The authors included teenagers from 14 to 19 years old followed for SCD in a hospital located in Créteil (France) from March 2017 to February 2018. Their sexual health experience was assessed by a self-questionnaire with three key themes: contraceptive experience, awareness of sexuality with chronic disease and level of information on the genetic transmission of the disease. Ninety-nine questionnaires were analysed. Only six SCD adolescents (one girl and five boys) reported being sexually active. In conclusion, young people with SCD need more information on contraception. Clinicians caring for them should be aware of the need for sexual health information in order to propose prevention actions adapted to these young people with chronic disease.
