This study investigates how the Theory of Motivated Information Management influences adolescents' sexual information-seeking behaviour and their satisfaction with the information they find. A cross-sectional investigation that purposively selected and surveyed 128 adolescents in the Matara District of Sri Lanka using a semi-structured questionnaire was designed. The variables such as high-risk sexual behaviour, having a partner or not, sexual curiosity, computer self-rated proficiency, sex of the adolescents, self-rated English proficiency, Uncertainty Discrepancy anxiety and self-efficacy were used to inquire about the contributing effects on adolescents' sexual health information seeking behaviour. The findings reveal that the most important sexual health information for adolescents is the information related to “high-risk sexual behaviour” and “sexual curiosity”. Boys are more likely to engage with sexual health information in a positive way than girls. The results further validate the TMIM framework. The orientation of associations between model variables has been consistent with past studies, particularly the negative relationship between anxiety and efficacy. Adolescents expressed difficulties in obtaining health information, including difficulty determining the quality of information and the lack of appropriate health information, highlighting the need for effective measures in this area. To overcome these barriers, the Ministries of Health and Education, the National Library, the Academic Library System and particularly medical/health libraries in universities, and the National Youth Services Council should plan easily accessible, outcome measurable, and appropriate opportunities and training through their official centres and institutions.

这项研究调查了动机信息管理理论如何影响青少年的性信息寻求行为以及他们对所发现信息的满意度。设计了一项横断面调查，目的是使用半结构化问卷调查选择和调查斯里兰卡马塔拉区的128名青少年。使用诸如高风险的性行为，是否有伴侣，性好奇心，计算机自我评估的熟练程度，青少年的性别，自我评估的英语熟练程度，不确定性差异焦虑和自我效能感等变量来查询贡献的原因对青少年寻求性行为的性健康信息的影响。研究结果表明，青少年最重要的性健康信息是与“高风险性行为”和“性好奇”有关的信息。男孩比女孩更有可能以积极的方式参与性健康信息。结果进一步验证了TMIM框架。模型变量之间关联的方向与过去的研究一致，尤其是焦虑与疗效之间的负相关关系。青少年表示难以获得健康信息，包括难以确定信息的质量和缺乏适当的健康信息，这突出表明需要在这一领域采取有效措施。为了克服这些障碍，卫生和教育部，国家图书馆，
