Resumen
Antecedentes: El año 2006, la Organización Mundial de la Salud definió a la "salud sexual" como un estado de bienestar físico, emocional, mental y social en relación a la propia sexualidad. De este modo, corresponde a un concepto más amplio que la ausencia de malestares, disfunciones o enfermedades, relacionándose con un nivel de bienestar general. Pese a la relevancia del concepto, aún es escasa la evidencia empírica al respecto a nivel local. Objetivos: El artículo analiza el concepto de "salud sexual" a nivel de población general en Chile. Métodos: Se diseñó una muestra probabilística, polietápica y estratificada en el Gran Santiago, encuestándose a 767 personas mayores de 18 años, siguiendo la metodología de autorreporte de hogares. Resultados: El estudio evidencia diferencias según género y edad en la mayor parte de las variables relativas a la satisfacción sexual y a conductas sexuales seguras. Conclusión: Se concluye que los hombres inician su vida sexual más tempranamente, tienen más parejas sexuales y reportan mayor satisfacción sexual que las mujeres, con excepción de la cohorte más joven. Ellas, a su vez, declaran mayores niveles de protección y cuidado de la vida sexual.
Background: In 2006, the World Health Organization endorsed the concept of "sexual health" as a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. Thus, it corresponds to a broader concept that the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity, being related to a general level of well-being. Despite the relevance of the concept, locally, there is still scarce empirical evidence about it. Aims: The article analyses the concept of "sexual health" among the Chilean general population. Methods: In order to achieve this objective, a probabilistic, polyphasic and stratified sample was designed for the province of Santiago, being surveyed 767 people over 18 years, through a self-reported method in their own households. Results: The study shows differences by gender and age in both sexual satisfaction and safe sexual behaviours. Conclusion: It is possible to conclude that men begin their sexual life earlier, have more sexual partners and report higher sexual satisfaction than women, except for the youngest cohort. Women, in turn, report higher
