Background:
Sex education was introduced early in foreign countries. For example, there is a more systematic sex education system abroad, which can better achieve the popularization of sex education. China's sex education started relatively late, yet there are many problems in the development of sex education in China; for example, college students lack knowledge of sexuality.
Aim:
To explore the perception of sex education among medical college students.
Methods:
Students majoring in medicine in a medical school were selected as the survey subjects. Anonymous online questionnaires were used to conduct the survey, and the results were analyzed using GraphPad Prism, SPSS, Microsoft Excel, and other software. The questionnaire was administered to understand the source of sexual knowledge, sexual responsibility, mastery of sexual knowledge, and distress caused by sexual problems.
Results:
Most students majoring in medicine had no formal sex education, lacked sexual knowledge, or had a biased understanding of sexual responsibility. This study analyzed future research trends in sex education based on relevant achievements in the Chinese context and abroad to further realize the practical significance and value of sex education popularization in China and provide recommendations for parents and schools at different levels.
Conclusion:
Sex education should be conducted among college students, and medical colleges and universities should strengthen scientific sex education.
