Abstract:
The purposes of this study were to explore Taiwanese nurses' beliefs, attitudes, and values about sexuality and to determine the extent to which these variables influence their attitudes toward taking a sexual history. A total of 391 nurses voluntarily participated in this study. The results of this study revealed that Taiwanese nurses hold moderate positive beliefs and slight positive attitudes and values about sexuality. They also expressed slight positive attitudes about taking a sexual history. The use of a regression analysis revealed that these nurses' beliefs, attitudes, and values about sexuality accounted for 9% of the variance in attitudes about taking a sexual history. Only beliefs and attitudes about sexuality were significant predictors of attitudes towards taking a sexual history. Strategies to change Taiwanese nurses' beliefs and attitudes about sexuality should be an essential nursing issue in practice and education.
