Abstract:
Sexuality and relationships are an integral component of personhood, regardless of whether people have special needs or not. This paper reports findings from a qualitative study exploring pre-registration nursing students' knowledge and attitudes towards the sexuality of children with special needs. Interview data were analysed thematically. Although participants felt confident about defining sexuality, the application of addressing sexuality was hampered in practice. Specific issues identified by students were those of consent, parental choices and potential for the abuse of children. It was also felt that more education and training was required for nurses to effectively begin to address sexuality in this client group.
