Abstract
This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of sexual health education on university students' sexual myths and sexual health literacy. The sample of the quasi-experimental research consisted of 51 students aged 18 and over studying at Toros University Vocational School of Health Services. Personal information form, Sexual Myths Scale, Sexual Health Literacy Scale were used as data collection tools. Students answered questions before and after sexual health education. In our research, before sexual health education, 49% of the students had moderate knowledge about sexuality; after the training, more than half of the students (51%) were found to have sufficient knowledge about sexuality. In order to reduce sexual myths and increase sexual health literacy levels, it is recommended that age-appropriate sexual health education be given by trained people in educational institutions.
