Abstract

Introduction: Sexual health care refers to assessing sexual health, identifying the risks, and providing appropriate counselling related to sexuality. It is essential to have competency related to this care to prevent under-treated patient and further complications. This study aims to explore attitudes and beliefs among undergraduate nursing students at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Kuantan, Pahang toward sexual health care and its association with socio-demographic characteristics. Methods: A descriptive quantitative cross-sectional study with a convenience sampling was conducted among 239 students from March to May 2021. Data were gathered by using Google Forms questionnaires and distributed to all undergraduate nursing students through WhatsApp. The questionnaires were available in three parts: socio-demographic, students’ characteristics, and Sexual Attitude and Belief Survey (SABS). Data analysis was done by using SPSS version 20.0. Results: The majority of nursing students have moderate attitudes and beliefs in delivering sexual health care and Age group was significantly associated with SABS score (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although most nursing students have sufficient knowledge related to sexual health, they still feel uncomfortable and unable to diagnose patients with sexual problems.

护生对性健康护理的态度与信念

导言:性健康保健是指评估性健康，识别风险，并提供与性有关的适当咨询。必须具备与此护理相关的能力，以防止治疗不足的患者和进一步的并发症。本研究旨在探讨马来西亚国际伊斯兰大学(IIUM)彭杭州关丹分校护理本科生对性健康保健的态度和信念及其与社会人口统计学特征的关系。方法:采用描述性定量横断面研究，方便抽样，于2021年3月至5月对239名学生进行调查。采用Google Forms问卷收集数据，并通过WhatsApp发放给所有护理本科学生。问卷分为社会人口学调查、学生特征调查和性态度与信念调查三部分。数据分析采用SPSS 20.0版本。结果:大多数护生对性保健的态度和信念较为温和，年龄与SABS评分显著相关(p<0.05)。结论:大多数护生虽然有足够的性健康相关知识，但仍对性问题患者感到不适和无法诊断。
