This study aimed to investigate the effect of a reproductive health course on sexual myths, sexual attitudes and gender perceptions of university students.
A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test/post-test design was conducted among 222 undergraduate students. Data were collected using a questionnaire form, the Sexual Myths Scale, the Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale and the Perception of Gender Scale.
Comparison of pre-test with post-test results showed that the course achieved an improvement in sexual attitudes ( < 0.001), a positive effect on gender perceptions ( < 0.05) and a decrease in sexual myth beliefs ( < 0.001) among participants.
The results indicate the importance of educating young people about reproductive health. Courses on reproductive and sexual health should be integrated into the curriculum of first year undergraduate education.
