Peluzio Luciana Ferreira da R. Sant’Ana Silvia Eloiza Priore Medicina self ethics Puberty adolescent assessment Objective: To analyze methodological and ethical aspects in the sexual maturation assessment of adolescents. Data sources: Books and theses, articles and legislations on the Medline, SciELO, Science Direct databases, besides institutional documents of the World Health Organization and the Pediatric Societies of Brazil and São Paulo, conside - ring the period from 1962 to 2012. The following keywords were used in Portuguese and English: “sexual maturation”, “self-assessment”, “ethics”, “objective assessment of se - xual maturation”, “puberty”, “adolescent”, and “ adolescent development ”. Data synthesis: The sexual maturation assessment is used in populatinal studies and in clinical daily care. The direct evaluation is performed by a specialized physician, whereas the self-assessment is carried out by the adolescent. This evaluation should be carefully performed in the appropriate place, taking into account the ethical aspects. The patient should not be constrained and the physician must respect the privacy and the confidentiality. Before this evaluation and independently of the used method, the adolescent should receive information and explanation about the procedure and the tools that will be applied. Furthermore, the patient has the right to want or not an adult close to him. Conclusions: Validation studies showed that self-assessment is inferior to clinical assessment and should, therefore, be performed only when the direct examination by physicians is not possible. 2013 reseña 0103-0582 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=406038969019 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4060 Revista Paulista de Pediatria application/pdf Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo Revista Paulista de Pediatria (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.31 |
