Depoimentos obtidos nos grupos focais exemplificam e reforcam esses achados. Conclusao: Para uma educacao em saude efetiva, os profissionais, especialmente enfermeiros, precisam esclarecer os jovens, em nivel individual e coletivo, sobre seus direitos a privacidade, sigilo, alem de enfocar a consulta ginecologica como medida promotora da saude sexual e reprodutiva.OBJECTIVE To analyze the social representation of adolescents about gynecological consultation and the influence of those in searching for consultations. METHOD Qualitative descriptive study based on the Social Representations Theory, conducted with 50 adolescents in their last year of middle school. The data was collected between April and May of 2010 by Evocations and a Focal Group. The software EVOC and contextual analysis were used in the data treatment. RESULTS The elements fear and constraint, constant in the central nucleus, can justify the low frequency of adolescents in consultations. The term embarrassment in the peripheral system reinforce current sociocultural norms, while prevention, associated with learning about sex and clarifying doubts, allows to envision an educative function. Obtained testimonies in the focal groups exemplify and reinforce those findings. CONCLUSION For an effective health education, professionals, including nurses, need to clarify the youth individually and collectively about their rights to privacy, secrecy, in addition to focus the gynecological consultation as a promotion measure to sexual and reproductive health.
