“…Some strengths and weaknesses of this study are worth mentioning. Unlike systematic reviews, scoping reviews generally do not assess the overall quality of evidence; however, they are useful for summarizing vital evidence [ 25 ]. While effort has been made to search broadly in two comprehensive databases for health research, it is still possible that relevant research (and therefore, their findings) have been missed out.…”

“…According to the WHO, failure to provide adequate SSH-related information and services to any individual or population group is a violation of human rights contributing to inequality in sexual health [ 18 ]. Unfortunately, not many nurses are willing to ask their patients about SSH [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Furthermore, insufficient SSH content remains a major challenge across nursing programs, although this may vary across geographical locations due to social–cultural factors [ 5 , 25 ].…”

Background: Sexuality and sexual health (SSH) are essential aspects of care that have evolved since a 1975 World Health Organization (WHO) report on SSH. However, nurses still consider discussing the subject with patients a challenge. This scoping review aimed to map, synthesize, and summarize findings from existing literature regarding barriers and enabling factors for nurse–patient SSH discussions in care contexts. Methods: A scoping review model inspired by Arksey and O’Malley was used to search for and synthesize studies published between 2009 and 2019. The databases searched were the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, i.e., MEDLARS Online. A total of nineteen articles were eligible to be included. Results: Two main categories of enabling factors were identified, i.e., a professional approach via using core care values and availability of resources. Three major categories of barriers were identified: beliefs and attitudes related to age, gender, and sexual identity; fear and individual convictions; and work-related factors. Conclusions: Applying professionalism and core care values as well as making resources available are likely to promote SSH discussions between nurses and patients. Moreover, there is a need for a norm-critical approach in education and practice.

“…▸ Sexual Health: • Urologists: more knowledgeable about ED, but gynecologists had better attitude towards ED patients [ 81 ]. • Nurses: most were not very knowledgeable about/confident to address sexuality, viewing it as not within their responsibilities [ 82 , 83 ]. • HCP: lacked confidence in their sex education skills and knowledge [ 84 ].…”

“…▸ Oncologists: low perception of importance of FP, leading to poor referral to specialists; gender bias in informing males about FP options prior to cancer treatment compared to females [ 74 , 75 ]. ▸ Sexual Health: • Nurses: negative attitude influenced by their beliefs about sex/sex education (viewing early sex education as problematic), negative attitude was associated with sex (female) and no previous training on sexuality [ 82 – 84 ]. • Lebanon: HCP had positive attitudes towards LGBT patients; mental health providers less likely to believe that homosexuality is mental health disorder, but more likely a natural variation on the sexual orientation spectrum [ 88 ].…”

Scoping review of sexual and reproductive healthcare for men in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region: a handful of paradoxes?

et al. 2023

Background No study appraised the knowledge gaps and factors impacting men’s sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in MENA (Middle East and North Africa). The current scoping review undertook this task. Methods We searched PubMed and Web of Science (WoS) electronic databases for original articles on men’s SRH published from MENA. Data was extracted from the selected articles and mapped out employing the WHO framework for operationalising SRH. Analyses and data synthesis identified the factors impacting on men’s experiences of and access to SRH. Results A total of 98 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The majority of studies focused on HIV and other sexually transmissible infections (67%); followed by comprehensive education and information (10%); contraception counselling/provision (9%); sexual function and psychosexual counselling (5%); fertility care (8%); and gender-based violence prevention, support/care (1%). There were no studies on antenatal/intrapartum/postnatal care and on safe abortion care (0% for both). Conceptually, there was lack of knowledge of the different domains of men’s SRH, with negative attitudes, and many misconceptions; as well as a deficiency of health system policies, strategies and interventions for SRH. Conclusion Men’s SRH is not sufficiently prioritized. We observed five ‘paradoxes’: strong focus on HIV/AIDS, when MENA has low prevalence of HIV; weak focus on both fertility and sexual dysfunctions, despite their high prevalence in MENA; no publications on men’s involvement in sexual gender-based violence, despite its frequency across MENA; no studies of men’s involvement in antenatal/intrapartum/postnatal care, despite the international literature valuing such involvement; and, many studies identifying lack of SRH knowledge, but no publications on policies and strategies addressing such shortcoming. These ‘mismatches’ suggest the necessity for efforts to enhance the education of the general population and healthcare workers, as well as improvements across MENA health systems, with future research examining their effects on men’s SRH.
