Abstract

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: In addition to reproductive purposes, human sexuality and sexual health are matters of great importance in the medical office. Despite this, there is still a deficiency in the training of Brazilian medical students regarding sexual medicine and gender issues. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to analyze the perception of fifth- and sixth-year students in relation to the teaching of sexual medicine and gender issues in medical courses. METHODS: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study with students from the last 2 years of medical schools in the State of Santa Catarina (internship classes), through the application of a self-administered, semi-structured online questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 164 students answered the questionnaire, with 83.5% (137/164) saying they had taken classes on sexual medicine and 47% (77/164) saying they had taken classes on gender issues. The participants judged the teaching inadequate in most of the topics addressed, and there was no significant difference between students from public and private schools. Notably, 79.9% (131/164) of the students considered the teaching of sexual medicine insufficient or inadequate, while 87.8% (144/164) considered the teaching of gender issues insufficient or inadequate. CONCLUSION: The vast majority of students consider the teaching of sexual medicine and gender issues insufficient and inadequate.

医学课程中的性医学和性别问题教学：学生的看法

摘要引言：除了生殖目的之外，人类的性行为和性健康也是医务室非常重视的问题。尽管如此，巴西医科学生在性医学和性别问题方面的培训仍然存在不足。目的：本研究旨在分析五年级和六年级学生对医学课程中性医学和性别问题教学的看法。方法：这是一项描述性横断面研究，调查对象为圣卡塔琳娜州医学院最后两年的学生（实习班级），采用的是自填式半结构化在线问卷。结果：共有 164 名学生回答了问卷，其中 83.5%（137/164）的学生表示上过性医学课程，47%（77/164）的学生表示上过性别问题课程。参与调查的学生认为，大部分课程的教学内容不足，公立学校和私立学校的学生之间没有明显差异。值得注意的是，79.9%（131/164）的学生认为性医学教学不足或不充分，而 87.8%（144/164）的学生认为性别问题教学不足或不充分。结论：绝大多数学生认为性医学和性别问题的教学不足或不够充分。
