Abstract

Following a lecture on sexual health and function, occupational therapy students were surveyed regarding their past sex education and their comfort level with the topic of sex. Students indicated a lack of sexual education received from parents/guardians and a prevalence of fear-based education from formal or informal sources. Results reflected a significant increase in students' perceived comfort level with the topic following the lecture from a provider trained and certified in sexual health. As sexuality falls within the domain of occupational therapy, these results suggest a need for comprehensive sex education taught to students by qualified instructors.

职业治疗教育的缺失：对性的态度

在一场关于性健康和性功能的讲座后，职业治疗专业的学生接受了关于他们过去所接受的性教育以及他们对性话题的舒适程度的调查。学生们表示缺乏来自父母/监护人的性教育，并普遍受到来自正规或非正规渠道的恐惧教育。结果表明，在接受过性健康培训并获得认证的提供者的讲座后，学生对该话题的舒适度明显提高。由于性属于职业治疗的范畴，这些结果表明有必要由合格的教师对学生进行全面的性教育。
