“…Given what was stated in this study, we can provide the conditions for better male participation in sexual and reproductive health by reforming the educational systems. These results were in line with the results of other studies in the area of educating the men's participation skills in sexual and reproductive health (7,8,11,(16)(17)(18)(19). In explaining this result, it can be said that the establishment of such an educational system will ensure that men acquire the skills necessary for the sexual and reproductive health and can make an effort to protect the health of the mother and the child by appropriate mechanisms.…”

“…In this regard, Cappiello et al (2017) showed that educational courses of sexual and reproductive health should be in priority of curricula and educational programs (11). Shahjahan et al (2013) introduced the effective factors on men`s participation in reproductive health as higher levels of education, number of children, income, employment status, duration of marriage and access to media (12).…”

Background and purpose of the study: Undoubtedly, without sexual and reproductive health, women will not be able to achieve their other rights. This goal will be achieved only when they are supported by men. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of providing information required to design a model for promoting the men`s participation in sexual and reproductive health using structural equation modeling-partial least squares. Methodology: This research was a descriptive-analytical study conducted on 150 married men who were randomly included in the study. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire designed based on the results of a qualitative study and a review of articles. Its validity and reliability have been already examined. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed by structural equation modeling. Results: The results of this study revealed that all strategies for the promotion of men`s participation, except for the solution of "maximum use of religious capacities", had a normal distribution, and according to the positive values of the CV-Redundancy Index and the CV-Communality Index, the structural model had a good and appropriate fit for all variables. Conclusion: According to the results, the high-level decision-makers can be informed to decide where and how to focus their efforts and resources so that they can maximize the participation of men in sexual and reproductive health.

“…In the field of health, only one study was in the nursing area. This professional category is recognized for its potential to act competently in SRH; however, this theme has been ignored in care and in professional training (27,29) . Thus, professionals in this area must develop their skills to better deal with the sexual and reproductive concerns of individuals, including the riverine population.…”

Objective: To analyze the scientific evidence available on the sexual and reproductive health of riverine communities. Method: Integrative review, conducted on the databases LILACS, MEDLINE; WEB OF SCIENCE and SCOPUS, including publications in Portuguese, English or Spanish, without an initial time limit and published until 2018. Results: 11 studies were selected. The studies included are from the period 1993-2017. The results originated four analytical categories: sexual component, which gathered findings about sexually transmitted infections; reproductive component, which included family planning/fertility control, abortion and problems with pregnancy; environmental component, which presented issues with environmental contaminants and its reproductive implications; and the sociocultural component, which discussed gender, beliefs and social indicators. Conclusion: In this review, studies with a quantitative approach, from a female point of view and a biological perspective predominated. No study investigated the meanings and representations of SRH for the riverine communities. In addition, the findings show little evidence of thoughts and practices of people living in riverine communities regarding SRH issues, providing limited evidence.

“…Twenty percent of medical schools in the U.S. were reported as not requiring mandatory sexual health courses in the curriculum. A later study [7] found that 44% of US medical schools lacked formal sexual health curricula. In nursing schools, only 1 in 6 instructors thought that their students were prepared to deal with sexuality issues [8].…”

Evaluating the impact of a medical school cohort sexual health course on knowledge, counseling skills and sexual attitude change

et al. 2021

Background Sexual health is generally considered an integral part of medical and allied healthcare professional training. However, many medical schools do not offer this as a mandatory curriculum, or minimize it. Sexual health as an academic area was introduced in the 1970s, but there have been few cohort evaluations of its impact. This was limited by the availability of few psychometric scales for evaluation. We evaluated the full, mandatory, sexual health course in year 1 medicine at a large state university in the Midwest US, including the course with lectures; panels and tutorials; a video app to give students feedback on their sexual history taking skills; and a 3-station sexual history OSCE at the end of the course. Results Seventy-four medical students (43% of the course cohort) volunteered, for an incentive, to complete evaluation materials pre- and post-course. We used the Sexual Health Education for Professionals Scale (SHEPS), designed and with appropriate psychometric standardization for such evaluation. The SHEPS data covers 7-point Likert scale ratings of 37 patient situations, asking first how well the student could communicate with such a patient, and on the second part how much knowledge they have to care for such a patient. The third subscale examines personal sexual attitudes and beliefs. Data indicated that the matched pretest-posttest ratings for skills and knowledge were all statistically significant and with very large effect sizes. Few of the attitude subscale items were significant and if so, had small effect sizes. Sexual attitudes and beliefs may be well-formed before entry into medical school, and sexual health teaching and learning has minimal effect on sexual attitudes in this US sample. However, using the 3 sexuality OSCE cases scores as outcomes, two of the 26 attitude-belief items predicted > 24% of the variance. Conclusions The sexual health course produced major changes in Communications with patients sexual health skills and Knowledge of sexual health, but little change in personal Attitudes about sexuality. These data suggest that personal attitude change is not essential for teaching US medical students to learn about sexual health and sexual function and dysfunction, and comfortably take a comprehensive sexual history.
