Few researchers and curricula have experimentally tested sexual healthcare education on nursing students' knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy improvement towards sexual healthcare - a gap in the nursing evidence-base that this study was designed to address. A quasi-experimental design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the sexual healthcare education on nursing students' knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy related to sexual healthcare. The experimental group (95 subjects) received the 12-week program, but the control group (95 subjects) didn't. The hierarchical linear model (HLM) was used to analyze the longitudinal changes. The results revealed that the students in the experimental group showed significant improvements over those in the control group on knowledge (β=-0.27, P<0.001), attitude (β=-0.38, P<0.001), and self-efficacy (β=-0.90, P<0.001). This study demonstrates that the sexual healthcare education can help nursing students enhance their knowledge and explore their own values as well as feelings on patient sexuality, and play an important role in preparing students to meet future challenges related to sexual health.
很少有研究和课程通过实验来测试性保健教育对护理学生性保健知识、态度和自我效能的影响，而本研究旨在填补护理证据基础中的这一空白。本研究采用准实验设计来评估性保健教育对护理学生性保健知识、态度和自我效能的影响。实验组（95 名受试者）接受了为期 12 周的课程，而对照组（95 名受试者）没有接受。使用层次线性模型（HLM）分析纵向变化。结果表明，实验组学生在知识（β=-0.27，P<0.001）、态度（β=-0.38，P<0.001）和自我效能（β=-0.90，P<0.001）方面的得分显著高于对照组。本研究表明，性保健教育可以帮助护理学生提高知识水平，并探索自己对患者性行为的价值观和感受，为学生应对未来与性健康相关的挑战做好准备。
