Most of the parents have no idea that how and when they should educate about sexual health to their typically growing children. It is important for parents to educate their children with intellectual disability about sexual health. The risk of sexual exploitation and abuse is very high in individuals with intellectual disability.
The present study was conducted to find out the awareness among the parents of individuals with intellectual disability about sexual health education.
Subjects for the present study were the parents of individuals with intellectual disability studying at government rehabilitation institute for intellectual disabilities, chandigarh ( = 100). The present study is a cross-sectional study and subjects were selected by making use of random sampling technique. A Rating scale on "Awareness on sexual health education for parents of intellectually challenged children" developed by Lakshmi and Navya, (2014) was used.
The results revealed that there is a significant difference in knowledge, attitude, and practice among the parents of individuals with intellectual disability about sexual health education. The significant difference with respect to the gender on awareness about sexual health education (knowledge, attitude, and practice) among the parents of individuals with intellectual disability was found. No significant difference with respect to family type on awareness about sexual health education was found.
Parents who live in rural locality have responded greater on the knowledge and practice than those who live in urban locality. However, parents living in urban locality have scored more on attitude over the parents who live in rural locality.
大多数家长不知道该如何以及何时对发育正常的孩子进行性健康教育。对智障儿童的家长进行性健康教育很重要。智障人士遭受性剥削和虐待的风险非常高。
本研究旨在了解智障人士家长对性健康教育的认知情况。
本研究的对象是在昌迪加尔政府智障康复机构学习的智障人士的家长（n = 100）。本研究为横断面研究，采用随机抽样技术选取研究对象。使用了拉克希米和纳维亚（2014年）编制的“智障儿童家长性健康教育认知量表”。
结果显示，智障人士家长在性健康教育的知识、态度和实践方面存在显著差异。发现智障人士家长在性健康教育（知识、态度和实践）认知方面存在显著的性别差异。未发现家庭类型在性健康教育认知方面存在显著差异。
居住在农村地区的家长在知识和实践方面的反应比居住在城市地区的家长更积极。然而，居住在城市地区的家长在态度方面的得分高于居住在农村地区的家长。
