Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify and describe attitudes and beliefs that might act as barriers to addressing patient sexuality concerns and to determine the extent to which these attitudes and beliefs are influenced by personal factors such as age, gender, education. The Sexuality Attitudes and Beliefs Survey was used to assess nursing students(N=214). Important barriers to addressing patient sexuality reported by the majority of the students included not making time to address the concerns (86.9%) and Feeling confident in ability to address patients' sexual concerns(76.2%). A statistically significant difference was found in scores based on sex(p=0.03) and religion(p=0.02). Results of this study have implications for educational programs in dealing with patient sexuality.

성 건강은 인간 삶의 핵심적인 영역으로 최근 간호 실무에서 성 건강 사정과 상담은 간호사의 중요한 역할이 되었다. 본 연구는 성 건강 간호 수행과 연관되어 간호학생이 느끼는 성 건강 간호의 중요성과 어려움, 성 건강 간호에 대한 자신감의 정도를 나타내는 간호학생의 성 태도와 신념을 조사하고 연령, 성별, 교육과 같은 인구사회학적 특성이 성 태도와 신념에 영향을 미치는지 파악하고자 시도하였다. 연구 대상자는 4년제 간호학과 3학년 이상 학생으로 임상실습 경험이 있는 214명을 대상으로 하였으며 수집된 자료는 SPSS win 18.0을 이용하여 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, t-test, ANOVA로 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과, 성 태도와 신념은 평균 44.9점으로 성 건강 관련 간호 수행에 상당히 어려움을 있으며, 성 건강 간호에 필요한 시간을 만들지 않으며(86.9%), 환자의 성 문제를 다루는 자신의 능력을 확신하지 못한다고 인지하는 것(76.2%)이 가장 큰 장애요인으로 나타났다. 간호학생의 인구사회학적 특성 중 성별(p=0.03)과 종교(p=0.02)에 따라 성 태도와 신념에 차이가 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 간호학생들에게 성 건강 간호의 중요성을 인식하는 계기를 마련하고 성 건강 간호 관련 교육과정 개발에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.
