Sexual myths and attitudes regarding sexuality of nursing students: A mixed method study
1Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Duzce University, Duzce, Turkey.
Purpose:
To determine the nursing students' sexual myths and attitudes regarding sexuality, and to explore their views towards sexual care in practice.
Design And Methods:
A mixed-method sequential explanatory design was used. Data were collected using Questionnaire Form, Sexual Myths Scale (SMS), Sexual Attitude and Beliefs Scale (SABS), and Focus-Group Interview Form.
Findings:
The average scores on the SMS and the SABS were 58.66 ± 18.74 and 37.50 ± 6.97, respectively, indicating students' sexual myths and their attitudes regarding sexuality were moderate. A positive, significant correlation was found between SMS and SABS scores (p < 0.001). In the interviews, the views on the barriers and facilitators in sexual care and the negative effect of sexual myths on sexual care were revealed.
Practice Implications:
Courses regarding sexuality should include into nursing curriculum from the first years of undergraduate education.
