Most nurses routinely offered well-person checks (90%), cervical smears (89%), travel clinics (83%), saw women with genito-urinary symptoms (77%) and offered family planning advice (54%). Only a minority of nurses (13%) offered specific teenage health clinics. Sexual health issues were always discussed in a majority of consultations when giving family planning advice (65%) and in women with genito-urinary symptoms (58%). Most practice nurses (62%) had undertaken at least one course dealing with sexual health issues in the last 5 years. Uptake of training was, however, significantly lower in certain groups of nurses. An analysis of the attitude statements suggested that nurses were more comfortable discussing sexual health issues with female patients and teenagers than with male patients and those of different sexual orientations. Nurses who had received training reported more positive attitudes towards discussing sexual health issues with patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Practice nurses offer a wide range of services in which the need to be able to take a sexual history and offer appropriate advice is important. There is scope to improve the provision of sexual health services by nurses in general practice, particularly in relation to services for teenagers.</p>","PeriodicalId":22378,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of family planning","volume":"26 2","pages":"89-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1783/147118900101194328","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21622532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
