Background:
Understanding reproductive anatomy and physiology is essential for safe wealthy sexual practices as well as reproductive attitudes. It has been advised that comprehensive sexual reproductive health (SRH) education should be provided in educational systems, colleges, and communities. We aimed to explore the knowledge about the reproductive system among first-year students in non-medical health schools.
Method:
A pre-validated questionnaire was distributed among first year non-medical health care school students in two universities.
Results:
A number of 384 students were included. The average score of knowledge was 14.12 out of 42, Female students scored higher than males (15.06 versus 11.54).
Conclusion:
From the results of the current study, it appears that Jordanian students do not study enough about reproductive systems. It is recommended that the school curricula in the fields about reproductive systems, need to be reassessed and reformed, teachers need to be trained for better teaching strategies about reproductive subjects as well.
