Students in healthcare professions need to be comfortable and prepared to handle sexual health issues in their future professional role. The aim was to explore and classify response patterns of the Student's Attitudes toward Addressing Sexual Health scale (SA-SH), to increase the pragmatic usefulness of the questionnaire.
Response patterns of the SA-SH were explored with latent class analysis (LCA). The response patterns were analyzed for relevant levels of total scale scores for each class.
The total score of the SA-SH can be translated into three response patterns, enabling quick and valid calculations of students' perceived level of comfort and preparedness to address sexual health issues in their future profession.
The SA-SH is useful for measuring nursing students' level of comfort and preparedness to address sexual health.
医疗保健专业的学生需要在未来的职业角色中自如应对并做好处理性健康问题的准备。目的是探索并分类学生对性健康问题应对量表(SA-SH)的反应模式,以提高该问卷的实际效用。
采用潜在类别分析(LCA)探索SA-SH的反应模式。分析每个类别的量表总分相关水平的反应模式。
SA-SH的总分可转化为三种反应模式,从而能够快速有效地计算学生对未来职业中处理性健康问题的舒适感和准备程度。
SA-SH有助于测量护理专业学生处理性健康问题的舒适程度和准备情况。
