Abstract:
The purpose of this study is, identifying school-based intervention studies that are made regarding the Sexual Heath Education in Turkey and are reviewing systematically. Peer-reviewed articles and thesis in Turkey were systematically searched from online databases. Studies that passed the inclusion criteria were qualitatively assessed. Six studies met the inclusion criteria. All studies showed that positive results were achieved at the end of the training. In the case of six studies, the method of expression was chosen as the training method, and only one study included the peer education method. Only one study included the social dimension of sexual health. None of the studies did report longitudinal outcomes. The negative attitudes towards sexual health education and hidden cultural resistance are, unfortunately, the main reasons for this. Considering the potential for the young population in Turkey, the number of school-based sexual health education should be increased, and educational content should be enriched.
