Sexuality is an important issue in the university careers of nursing students to ensure that they provide comprehensive care. It is necessary according to the recommendation of the World Health Organization. However, research reveals deficiencies and the need for further development. The aim of the study is to describe the perspective of teachers and students on the content of sexuality in nursing education. The project aims to analyze the attitudes and beliefs of the students about the sexuality of their patients. Furthermore, the experience and sexual lives of the future nurses, as well the teaching of sexuality content in the curriculum, will be analyzed. As for the educators, their level of knowledge about sexuality and vision of sexuality education in undergraduate nursing education will be analyzed. This study is an exploratory and descriptive study with a quantitative-qualitative approach in a multi-center context. The sample is composed of students and professors of nursing courses from five universities (Portugal, Spain, Italy and United States). Questionnaires and semistructured interviews will be used for data collection. The results of the study will allow the inclusion of sexual competence in the curriculum from the beginning in higher education. This article describes the research protocol.
性取向是护理专业学生大学生涯中的一个重要问题，以确保他们能够提供全面的护理。根据世界卫生组织的建议，这是必要的。然而，研究揭示了其中的不足以及进一步发展的必要性。本研究的目的是描述教师和学生对护理教育中性取向内容的看法。该项目旨在分析学生对患者性取向的态度和信念。此外，还将分析未来护士的经历和性生活，以及课程中性取向内容的教学情况。至于教育工作者，将分析他们对性取向的了解程度以及对本科护理教育中性取向教育的看法。本研究是一项在多中心背景下采用定量-定性方法的探索性描述性研究。样本由来自五所大学（葡萄牙、西班牙、意大利和美国）的护理课程学生和教授组成。将使用问卷调查和半结构化访谈进行数据收集。研究结果将使性取向能力从高等教育一开始就纳入课程。本文描述了研究方案。
