Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to understand the link between exposure to a sexual health course and nursing students'
Method
Third-year nursing students (N = 191; 83 experimental and 59 controls) were enrolled in a semi-experimental pre-and post-test study.
Results
It was found that the students who took the sexual health course had a lower belief in sexual myths than the students who did not take the course. While the sexual myth scale total average before the course was 63.65 ± 19.36, the post-course mean score was 48.64 ± 16.6.
Conclusions
With sexual health education, individuals’ false beliefs and risks regarding sexual health are reduced.
