Sexuality and relationships are an integral component of personhood, regardless of whether people have special needs or not. This paper reports findings from a qualitative study exploring pre-registration nursing students' knowledge and attitudes towards the sexuality of children with special needs. Interview data were analysed thematically. Although participants felt confident about defining sexuality, the application of addressing sexuality was hampered in practice. Specific issues identified by students were those of consent, parental choices and potential for the abuse of children. It was also felt that more education and training was required for nurses to effectively begin to address sexuality in this client group.
性取向与人际关系是人格不可或缺的组成部分，无论人们是否有特殊需求。本文报告了一项定性研究的结果，该研究探讨了预注册护理专业学生对有特殊需求儿童性取向的知识和态度。采用主题分析法对访谈数据进行了分析。尽管参与者对界定性取向有信心，但在实践中处理性取向问题时却受到阻碍。学生们确定的具体问题包括同意问题、家长的选择以及儿童遭受虐待的可能性。他们还认为，护士需要接受更多教育和培训，以便有效地开始处理这个客户群体的性取向问题。
