Determination of Nursing Students’ Sexual Myths

Öz:
Objective: This study was carried out to determine the levels and affecting factors of nursing students’ belief in sexual myths.Materials and Methods: This descriptive study included 376 students, that is, 190 freshman and 186 senior students, studying in a nursing department of a public university in the Mersin province between March, 20 and April 17, 2017. The study data were gathered using a questionnaire and the Sexual Myths Scale (SMS).Results: The average age of 376 students was 20.60±2.34 years, and 66% of them were women. It was determined that the SMS total score average was 65.86±22.11. A statistically significant difference was found between the SMS total score averages and student’s gender, classes, place where the student lived the longest, parent’s working status, and the place from which the first sexual information was received. A negative significant linear relation was detected between the SMS total scores and students’ ages (r=−216, p<0.05).Conclusion: It was determined that nursing students who were women, who were senior class, who have lived in the city for a long time, whose parents work, and who received first sexual information from family members believe less in sexual myths, and these beliefs decreased with age. It is recommended that nursing educators who are experts in the field of sexuality add lessons and subjects related to sexuality and sexual myths from the 1st grade to the nursing curriculum and consult students according to their personal characteristics until the 4th grade.

Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinde Cinsel Mitlerin Belirlenmesi

Öz:
Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinde cinsel mitler ve etkili faktörlerin belirlenmesi için yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma, 20 Mart-17 Nisan 2017 tarihleri arasında Mersin ilinde bulunan bir devlet üniversitesinin hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören 190 birinci sınıf ve 186 son sınıf olmak üzere 376 öğrencinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri anket formu ve Cinsel Mitler Ölçeği (CMÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan birinci ve dördüncü sınıfta öğrenim gören 376 öğrencinin yaş ortalaması 20,60±2,34, %66’sı kadındır. Öğrencilerin CMÖ toplam puan ortalamasının 65,86±22,11 olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin cinsiyetlerine, sınıflarına, uzun süre yaşadıkları yere, anne ve babalarının çalışma durumlarına ve cinsellikle ilgili ilk bilgi aldıkları yere göre CMÖ toplam puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Öğrencilerin yaşları ile CMÖ toplam puanları arasında zayıf negatif yönde anlamlı doğrusal bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır (r=-216, p<0,05). Sonuç: Kadın olan, son sınıfta öğrenim gören, uzun süre ilde yaşayan, anne ve babası çalışan, cinsellikle ilgili ilk bilgiyi aile bireylerinden alan hemşirelik öğrencilerinin daha az cinsel mite sahip oldukları ve yaşlarının artmasıyla bu mitlerin azaldığı belirlenmiştir. Cinsellik alanında uzman hemşirelik eğitimcilerin hemşirelik eğitim müfredatına 1. sınıftan itibaren cinsellik ve cinsel mitler ile ilgili ders ve konuları eklemeleri ve 4. sınıfa kadar öğrencilerin kişisel özelliklerine göre danışmanlık yapmaları önerilmektedir.
