Sexual issues and treatment side effects are not routinely discussed with men receiving treatment for prostate cancer and support to address these concerns is not consistent across settings. This study evaluates a brief e-learning resource designed to improve sexual wellbeing support and examine its effects on healthcare professionals’ sexual attitudes and beliefs. Healthcare professionals (n=44) completed an online questionnaire at baseline which included a modified 12-item sexual attitudes and beliefs survey (SABS). Follow-up questionnaires were completed immediately after the e-learning and at 4 weeks. Data were analysed using one-way, repeat measures ANOVAs to assess change in attitudes and beliefs over time. Significant improvements were observed at follow-up for a number of survey statements including ‘knowledge and understanding’, ‘confidence in discussing sexual wellbeing’ and the extent to which participants felt ‘equipped with the language to initiate conversations’. The resource was seen as concise, relevant to practice, and as providing useful information on potential side effects of treatment. Brief, e-learning has potential to address barriers to sexual wellbeing communication and promote delivery of support for prostate cancer survivors. Practical methods and resources should be included with these interventions to support implementation of learning and long-term changes in clinical behaviour.

Objective: The aim of this descriptive research is to determine the attitudes and beliefs of urology nurses regarding sexual care. Material and Methods: The data of this study were collected via internet between May and August 2020. The sample of the study consisted of 118 nurses who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study, able to use internet and working in clinics which urology patients are cared for. The data of the study were collected using data collection form that consists questions regarding the sociodemographic characteristics of the nurses and Sexual Attitudes and Belief Scale. Number and percentage distribution, Kruskal-Wallis, MannWhitney U test, Spearman Correlation Analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Results: It was determined that the average age of the nurses was 32.61±6.73 (min:22, max:46) years. In this study, the mean score of the Sexual Attitudes and Beliefs Scale was determined as 40.86±8.57 (min:15 max:65). It was found that 79.7% (n:94) of the nurses did not spare time to discuss the sexual problems of their patients. It was found that the marital status of the nurses (U:190.00 p:0.010) and being educated about sexual care (U:1052.00 p:0.007) affected their sexual attitudes and beliefs. It was determined that the mean score of the nurses to feel themselves competent in providing counseling regarding sexual care to their patients was 4.25±2.39 (min:0, max:10) out of 10. It was determined that the mean score of the nurses for feeling comfortable while giving counseling to their patients regarding sexual care was 4.32±2.63 out of 10 (min:0 to max:10). Conclusion: In conclusion, it has been determined that urology nurses have a moderate obstacle in providing consultancy to patients about sexual care, and do not feel comfortable and comfortable. It is recommended to strengthen nursing education curricula on sexual health and care. Keywords: Urology; nurse; sexual care; attitude; belief

Help Seeking Behaviour

Background: The Global Study of Sexual Attitudes and Behaviours was a survey of 27 500 men and women in 29 countries. Here we report the sexual activity, the prevalence of sexual difficulties and related help-seeking behaviour among participants in Australia. Methods: A telephone survey was conducted in Australia in 2001–2002, with interviews based on a standardised questionnaire. A total of 1500 individuals (750 men and 750 women) aged 40 to 80 years completed the survey. The questionnaire covered demographic information, overall health, and sexual behaviours, attitudes and beliefs. Results: Overall, 83% of men and 74% of women had engaged in sexual intercourse during the 12 months preceding the interview, and 38% of all men and 29% of all women engaged in sexual intercourse more than once a week. Early ejaculation (23%), erectile difficulties (21%) and a lack of sexual interest (18%) were the most common male sexual difficulties. The most frequently reported female sexual difficulties were: lack of sexual interest (33%), lubrication difficulties (26%) and an inability to reach orgasm (25%). Older age was a significant predictor of male erectile difficulties and of lubrication difficulties in women. Only a minority of men and women had sought help for their sexual difficulty(ies) from a health professional. Conclusions: Many middle-aged and older adults in Australia report continued sexual interest and sexual activity. Several sexual difficulties are highly prevalent in this population, but those experiencing these difficulties rarely seek medical help. This may be because they do not perceive such difficulties as serious or sufficiently upsetting.

The Impact

Abstract 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.

This article examines sexual attitudes and beliefs in Nigeria, from the traditional society to the modern one; focusing specificially on Yoruba culture describing sexual attitudes and sex education in the traditional Yoruba Society and examining its evolution under the influence of the British Colonial rules. It concludes that the sexual attitude was much healthier and sexual life more disciplined in the traditional society before the colonizers broke down the community structure causing children to turn against their parents. The children were presented a confused system of values, which combined sexual permissiveness with the idea of sin-confusion became more pronounced in the aftermath of the Civil War-with the young people unable to identify or understand either the old traditional or the new western system of values. In conclusion, the paper examines the efforts made by the Nigerian government to introduce sex education in schools by encouraging the students to rediscover their own traditional values and place them in perspective in the modern context.

Grounded Theory

Der Theorie-Praxis-Konflikt in der Pflege ist ein bekanntes Phänomen. Bisher liegen jedoch, insbesondere auf die Verhältnisse in der BRD bezogen, kaum fundierte Pflegeforschungsergebnisse zu diesem Thema vor. So wurde ein an den Methoden der Grounded Theory orientiertes qualitatives Forschungsprojekt zur Theorie-Praxis-Vermittlung am Beispiel einer innerbetrieblichen Fortbildungsveranstaltung zu Kinästhetik in der Pflege durchgeführt, das näher untersuchen sollte, was die Umsetzung von Kinästhetik in die Pflegepraxis beeinflußt. Die Forscherin hat dazu nach der Schulung mit den TeilnehmerInnen unter anderem halbstrukturierte Interviews zu deren Erlebnissen bei der Anwendung des Gelernten in ihrer täglichen Arbeit auf Station durchgeführt. Als Ausschnitt aus den Ergebnissen wird der Einfluß der Kategorie «Eigenschaften von Kinästhetik» auf die Umsetzung durch die TeilnehmerInnen an einer Fortbildungsveranstaltung zu diesem Thema dargestellt. Damit wird etwas darüber ausgesagt, inwiefern die Tatsache, daß Kinästhetik als etwas Praktisches, etwas Fremdes und Exotisches, als mit Nähe verbunden, schwierig oder riskant wahrgenommen wird, Auswirkungen auf die Anwendung des neu gelernten Wissens in der Praxis hat. Der Bezug dieser Kategorie zur Schlüssel-Kategorie «Einbau von Wissen und von Neuem» wird abschließend aufgezeigt. Die Ergebnisse der Studie machen deutlich, daß die ausschließliche Konzentration auf Wissensvermittlung der Komplexität des Umsetzungsprozesses nicht gerecht wird.
