Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 7-h educational intervention in enhancing Hong Kong nursing students’ knowledge and attitudes regarding sexuality in older adults. Its content encompassed perspectives of love, theory of sexuality, and topics on sexual health. A total of 169 first-year Hong Kong nursing students participated in the intervention program. The intervention significantly enhanced nursing students’ knowledge [F (1, 218) = 257.10, p < .001] and positive attitudes [F (1, 218) = 54.17, p < .001]. Sexuality educators may adapt the program of the intervention for the purpose of caring older patients with different sexual health concerns.
