護理系學生對老年人的性知識與性態度之調查

Nursing Students’Knowledge Regarding the Sexual Knowledge and Attitudes of Older Adults

性的意涵對老年人不僅是純粹性交，而是親密關係、社會文化與心理等交互因素。社會禁忌、習俗阻礙人們獲取足夠性知識，連學校教育也避談性行為，導致許多偏差看法。培育護理專業的性教育是直接能降低對老年人性行為負面定型的方法之一。本研究目的為調查護理系學生對老年人的性知識與性態度。

To older adults, sex is not merely sexual intercourse but encompasses the interactions of intimate relationships with sociocultural and psychological factors. Many biased opinions regarding sex are held as the acquisition of adequate sexual knowledge is often hindered by social taboos and customs, and sex is still considered a taboo topic in school education. Sex education in professional nursing education is a way to reduce the negative stereotyping of older adults’sexual behaviors. This study investigated nursing students’knowledge regarding the sexual knowledge and attitudes of older adults.
