本研究目的在探討台灣護理人員對於性的信念、態度與價值觀以及三者對於詢問性史之態度的影響力。共有391位護理人員自願參與此研究。結果顯示護理人員對於性持有中等程度正向的信念和些許正向的態度與價值觀,同時也表示有些許正向的態度去詢問性史。經迴歸分析發現護理人員對於性的信念、態度與價值觀可以解釋9%詢問性史態度的變異量;僅有對於性的信念和態度為詢問性史態度之重要預測因子。如何提升護理人員對於性的正向信念和態度是未來護理臨床和教育重要之議題。
The purposes of this study were to explore Taiwanese nurses' beliefs, attitudes, and values about sexuality and to determine the extent to which these variables influence their attitudes toward taking a sexual history. A total of 391 nurses voluntarily participated in this study. The results of this study revealed that Taiwanese nurses hold moderate positive beliefs and slight positive attitudes and values about sexuality. They also expressed slight positive attitudes about taking a sexual history. The use of a regression analysis revealed that these nurses' beliefs, attitudes, and values about sexuality accounted for 9% of the variance in attitudes about taking a sexual history. Only beliefs and attitudes about sexuality were significant predictors of attitudes towards taking a sexual history. Strategies to change Taiwanese nurses' beliefs and attitudes about sexuality should be an essential nursing issue in practice and education.
