Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to determine sexual myths and attitudes towards assessment of patient sexuality in nursing students. Material and Method: The descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with 190 students studying in the nursing department of a public university. Data were collected via introductory information form, Sexual Myths Scale (SMS), and Sexuality Attitudes and Beliefs Survey (SABS). Results: It was determined that a great majority of the students, whose age average was 21.74±1.52 years, considered sexuality a private area for patients (61.6%) and had never provided sexual counselling before (65.8%). There was a positive correlation between SMS scores (66.22±17.42) and SABS scores (35.40±7.24) of the students (r=0.525, p<0.01). Conclusion: As sexual myths in students increased, the barriers perceived in relation with assessing patient sexuality increased. The contribution of nursing education to reducing sexual myths and providing the knowledge and skills required for sexual health services should be reviewed.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinde cinsel mitlerin ve hasta cinselliğini değerlendirmeye yönelik tutumların belirlenmesi için yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, bir devlet üniversitesinin hemşirelik bölümünde okuyan 190 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler tanıtıcı bilgi formu, Cinsel Mitler Ölçeği (CMÖ), Cinsel Tutum ve İnanç Ölçeği (CTİÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 21.74±1.52 olan öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğunun cinselliği hastanın özel bir alanı olarak gördüğü (%61.6) ve daha önce hiç cinsel danışmanlık yapmadığı (%65.8) belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin CMÖ puanları (66.22±17.42) ile CTİÖ puanları (35.40±7.24) arasında pozitif bir ilişki saptanmıştır (r=0.525, p<0.01). Sonuç: Öğrencilerde cinsel mitler arttıkça hasta bireyin cinselliğini değerlendirmeye ilişkin algılanan engellerde artmaktadır. Hemşirelik eğitiminin cinsel mitleri azaltma ve cinsel sağlık hizmetleri için gereken bilgi ve beceriyi kazandırmadaki katkısı gözden geçirilmelidir.
