Summary
Nurses' attitudes, subjective norms, and confidence significantly influence their intention and frequency of providing sexual health care (SHC). Gender role orientation did not impact SHC provision in this Taiwanese study.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Public Health
- Behavioral Science
Background:
- Sexual health care (SHC) is a sensitive but crucial aspect of nursing practice.
- Understanding factors influencing nurses' provision of SHC is essential for improving patient outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To test a structural equation model examining factors affecting sexual health care provision among Taiwanese nurses.
- To explore the relationships between attitude, subjective norms, confidence, gender role orientation, and behavioral intention and frequency of SHC.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 471 registered nurses in Taiwan.
- Utilized anonymous questionnaires measuring attitude, intervention, and gender role orientation in SHC.
- Applied the Permission-Limited Information-Specific Suggestions-Intensive Therapy model and theory of planned behavior.
Main Results:
- The structural equation model demonstrated good validity.
- Positive attitude, subjective norms, and confidence significantly predicted behavioral intention to provide SHC.
- Behavioral intention strongly predicted the frequency of providing SHC, while gender role orientation showed no significant association.
Conclusions:
- Attitude, subjective norms, and perceived control are key predictors of nurses' behavioral intention and actions in providing SHC.
- Enhanced behavioral intention directly correlates with a higher frequency of SHC delivery.
- Gender role orientation was not found to be a significant factor in the provision of sexual health care by nurses.

For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...
