“…In similar studies carried out with the participation on university students, knowledge/education about sexuality was shown to reduce believing in sexual myths (Evcili & Golbasi, 2017; Örüklü et al, 2021). As the level of knowledge about sexuality increases, misbeliefs about sexuality and the potential risks it may create decrease (Sarpkaya Güder & Tekbaş, 2021).…”

Purpose: In the study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between sexual myths and intercultural sensitivity in university students. Method:The study designed as cross-sectional research was carried out with the participation of 1,061 university students. Data collection tools used were the Personal Information Form, Sexual Myths Scale, and Intercultural Sensitivity Scale.Findings: It was determined that the students believed in myths at a moderate level.The students who thought that being together with different cultures did not have a positive contribution were found to believe in sexual myths at a higher level (p < 0.001). It was also determined that intercultural sensitivity was a significant predictor of sexual myths in university students (p < 0.001).Implications for Practice: While planning sexual education provided to relay sexual knowledge to societies accurately, cultural differences should be considered.

Background Sexual health care, including assessment and patient teaching, is part of comprehensive patient care. Health professional (medical and nursing) students’ education in sexual health lacks uniformity in content and assessment skills. Objectives The current systematic review aimed to assess sexual health educational curriculum for health professional students regarding the educational content, duration, and evaluation of these educational interventions. Methods This systematic review followed the preferred reporting guidelines for systematic reviews. A comprehensive search was conducted between May–August, 2023 across four databases (PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, EMBASE), outlining 614 sources. Following the screening process, 36 educational intervention studies were deemed eligible for inclusion. The quality assessment of these studies was conducted using The Effective Public Health Project tool, which was found appropriate for evaluating this type of research. Results The studies had a global representation, with most studies conducted in the US. Limited nursing educational interventions were found. Three main categories emerged from the analysis of the educational interventions: one-time interventions, workshops, and semester courses. These categories differed in terms of their duration. Upon evaluating the educational intervention programs, it was found that the majority relied on participant self-reporting, while only a few included objective evaluations. Conclusions This review revealed inconsistencies in educational content for healthcare professional students and may impact their clinical skills, particularly in sexual health. The variation in content, duration, and evaluation methods created challenges in assessing the interventions. The lack of standardized sexual health education highlighted a significant gap, raising concerns about students’ ultimate proficiency in this area. Bridging this divide is essential by integrating comprehensive sexual health content and assessment skills into the health professional curriculum.

Background Nursing students' education in sexual health lacks uniformity in content and assessment skills. Although various educational interventions have been developed to bridge this gap, their effectiveness still needs to be determined. Objectives The current systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of sexual health educational interventions for nursing students regarding the educational content, duration, and evaluation of these interventions. Methods This systematic review follows the preferred reporting guidelines for systematic reviews. The initial search was performed in 2021 and replicated in 2023. A comprehensive search was conducted across four databases (PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, EMBASE), resulting in 610 sources. Following the screening process, thirty-two interventional studies were deemed eligible for inclusion. The quality assessment of these studies was conducted using The Effective Public Health Project tool, which was found appropriate for evaluating this type of interventional research. Results The studies had a global representation, although most were conducted in the USA. Only a few educational interventions involved nursing students. Three main categories emerged from the analysis of the educational interventions: one-time interventions, workshops, and semester courses. These categories differed in terms of their duration. Upon evaluating the educational intervention programs, it was found that the majority relied on participant self-reporting, while only a few included objective effectiveness tests. Conclusions The systematic review reveals inconsistent educational intervention programs regarding content, duration, and evaluation methods. This variability makes it difficult to assess their effectiveness in improving students' clinical skills. It emphasizes the importance of establishing standards in the field, particularly in incorporating sexual health content and developing sexual health assessment skills as integral parts of nursing students' professional training.
