Medical technology has transformed the body image of women and altered perceptions of beauty and sexual attraction. While "sexual attraction" is a fundamental concept in sexology, the characteristics of this concept have not been studied in the field of nursing. Because nurses provide advice and health education for women, it is essential to clarify the concept of sexual attraction for the benefit of related nursing research and for the further development of nursing knowledge.
This study explores the concept of sexual attraction in a Taiwanese social context using concept analysis based on an evolutionary perspective.
Inductive inquiry is used to compare and contrast articles from the academic literature, magazines, and newspapers, and data from participant observation and interviews are used to generate exemplars. The process by which the concept of sexual attraction has evolved over time is captured from three distinct aspects: significance, use, and application.
The definitional statement of sexual attraction includes the five dimensions of: 1. sexual-oriented psychological dynamics; 2. personal aesthetics and sensory experience; 3. instinct body forces; 4. body language of self; and 5. social and cultural norms.
CONCLUSIONS / IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This study scrutinized the changes in attributes that emphasize the biological, objectified body, and stereotyped gender roles of women. Further directions for research and nursing knowledge development are suggested. Examples include identifying the changes in the concept of sexual attraction that result from technological advancement and further clarifying the experiential knowledge of sexual attraction that represents the selfhood and independence of women in Taiwan.
医疗技术改变了女性的身体形象,也改变了人们对美和性吸引力的认知。虽然“性吸引力”是性学中的一个基本概念,但该概念的特征在护理领域尚未得到研究。由于护士为女性提供建议和健康教育,因此明确性吸引力的概念对于相关护理研究及护理知识的进一步发展至关重要。
本研究运用基于进化视角的概念分析法,在台湾社会背景下探究性吸引力的概念。
采用归纳探究法对学术文献、杂志和报纸上的文章进行比较和对比,并运用参与观察和访谈的数据生成范例。从意义、用途和应用这三个不同方面捕捉性吸引力概念随时间演变的过程。
性吸引力的定义性陈述包括五个维度:1. 性取向心理动态;2. 个人审美和感官体验;3. 本能身体力量;4. 自我身体语言;5. 社会文化规范。
结论/对实践的启示:本研究审视了强调女性生物学特征、物化身体和刻板性别角色的属性变化。提出了研究及护理知识发展的进一步方向。例如,确定技术进步导致的性吸引力概念变化,以及进一步阐明代表台湾女性自我认同和独立性的性吸引力体验知识。
