Filter by:Summary Person-centered care is a hot topic within healthcare, yet communication about patients' sexual health and intimacy issues remain too hot to handle within healthcare. Research indicates that sexual dysfunction and impaired sexual health are frequent among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite patients expecting healthcare professionals to address intimacy issues; these issues are often neglected, since the topic is a taboo. This study aims to address a gap in observational research by investigating the physical, psychological and social aspects of sexual health in both men and women with and without COPD. The primary hypothesis of this survey-based cross-sectional study is that COPD negatively impacts sexual health, leading to increased loneliness, relationship dissatisfaction, anxiety and/or depression, along with decreased health-related quality of life and well-being in patients. The study seeks to identify associations between impaired sexual health and these factors. By fostering a new understanding of these aspects, this study is essential to promote person-centered communication about sexual health, addressing the often overlooked needs and concerns of individuals with COPD. Ultimately, the study has the potential to improve sexual health and overall well-being among individuals with COPD, contributing to a more person-centered approach in COPD care.
Pregnancy is an important process with many changes in a woman's life. During this period, the sexual lives of couples may be affected due to anatomical, physiological and psychological changes. While sexual intercourse during pregnancy strengthens the harmony between spouses, emotional bond, and self-confidence of the woman, its role is important in terms of the continuation of the marriage. The development of technology in the world and in our country has led to an increase in the use of mobile devices. The emergence of telehealth and mobile applications with the Covid-19 pandemic has enabled individuals to access information whenever they want and more easily. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mobile application support given to pregnant women for sexual health on sexual function and quality of sexual life. It is planned to develop a mobile application in this direction by preparing a guide, with the foresight that sexuality during pregnancy is not an easily expressed subject and that pregnant women and health workers need training materials. After the power analysis, it is aimed to reach a total of 70 people, 35 in the experimental group and 35 in the control group. Data will be collected with Personal Information Form, Female Sexual Function Index, Sexual Life Quality Scale and Qualitative Interview Form. Based on the developed guide and mobile application, training will be given to pregnant women in the first, second and third trimesters, and it is thought that the mobile application support specific to sexual health during pregnancy may contribute to increasing sexual function and sexual life quality.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of evidence-based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) among adult patients who screen positive to one or more risky alcohol or substance use behaviors while seeking care at a sexual and reproductive health (SRH) clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does SBIRT impact patients' alcohol and substance use, SRH, mental health, physical health, quality of life, and wellbeing? - Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, gender, and urbanicity? - Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by delivery mode (in-person vs. telemedicine)? Participants will receive in-person SBIRT, telemedicine SBIRT, or usual care. Participants will complete surveys at interviews at baseline, 30 days, and 3 months. Researchers will compare patients who received SBIRT to patients who receive usual care to see if patients who receive the SBIRT intervention have a greater reduction in negative outcomes as compared to those who receive usual care. In this setting, usual care consists of basic quantity and frequency questions asked inconsistently as part of the admission process and varying by provider, with no standardized approach to screening, treatment, follow-up, or referral.
Determining the knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy of nursing students in the field of sexual health care is important for the development and planning of nursing education and research. There is no Turkish tool in the literature that will enable a comprehensive assessment of nursing students' knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy towards sexual health care. The aim of the study is to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the three scales (knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy) in the "Sexual Healthcare Questionnaire" for nursing students. This is a methodological study. These scales translated into Turkish language. Data will be collected in April 2023 through an online questionnaire from nursing students at a public university in Turkey. The test-retest will be performed again after 4 weeks. At least 310 participants from 2nd and 3rd year nursing students will be included in the study.
The youth period is a period when information and education are important. Reproductive and sexual health problems have an important place in aging health problems in youth (Gölbaşlı 2003). All over the world, STIs are most common in the 20-24 age group, followed by the 15-19 and 25-29 age groups. STIs are the most common disease in many countries, especially among young people between the ages of 15-29 (Topbaş et al. 2003). STIs, which are one of the factors that negatively affect public health; are infections transmitted from person to person through sexual contact. According to WHO estimates, approximately 350 million people suffer from curable STIs each year, and the incidence and prevalence of STIs among young people in developed and developing countries are increasing. Although young adults are generally at risk, STIs are most common in people aged 15-49. They have a very important place in terms of human health because they are frequently seen, difficult to diagnose, and cause serious complications when not treated. Incomplete and incorrect information among people who start sexual intercourse at an early age causes difficulties in the prevention of these diseases (Özalp et al. 2012). Having sexual intercourse at an early age, being polygamous, having special sexual preferences, being with or having sex with those who have paid for sexual intercourse, and not using condoms are among the risk factors for STIs (Siyez 2009). We can say that the age period in which STIs are common is parallel to sexual activity. In addition to various socio-demographic factors, it is likely that the most provoking issue in this period is the lack of knowledge of young people (Karaköse and Aydın 2011). In the STD guide published by the CDC, it is recommended to evaluate the people who constitute the risk group in the prevention of these diseases and to provide education and counseling (CDC, 2020). In this context, training to increase the level of knowledge and awareness of young people, who are one of the high-risk groups in society in terms of STD, is important in terms of reducing risky sexual behaviors, early diagnosis, and treatment. Based on all these reasons; It is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sexual and reproductive health education given to university students.
Gay and bisexual youth make up 80% of all new HIV infections among adolescents ages 14-19 in the United States, yet interventions to improve sexual health outcomes in these youth are extremely limited. Our team has developed an intervention -- Parents and Adolescents Talking about Healthy Sexuality (PATHS) -- to reduce HIV risk for gay and bisexual youth by working with their parents to improve the ways parents communicate with their sons about sexual health. The intervention is all completed by parents online and takes 45-60 minutes to complete. The goal of this study is to test whether PATHS helps improve sexual health among gay and bisexual male teens ages 14-19. To do this 350 parent-adolescent dyads will be recruited online (50% of those dyads will be racial/ethnic minority). Parents will be randomized to receive either PATHS or a control (a film designed to general support parents of gay/bisexual youth). Parents and sons will then complete surveys every 3 months over a 1-year period. Families assigned to PATHS will be compared to families assigned to the film 6 months after the intervention. Then the families originally given the control film will receive PATHS, and all dyads will be followed for another 6 months. This allows us to test the effects of PATHS in the control arm (by comparing families' experiences in the 6 months before they received the PATHS to their experiences over the next 6 months). It also allows us to test whether families who originally received PATHS will continue to benefit 9 and 12-months after the intervention. To assess sexual health, adolescents will complete self-report measures of their comfort using condoms, their access to condoms, their knowledge of the correct way to use a condom, their intentions to use condoms, their awareness of pre-exposure prophylaxis as an HIV prevention method, and their attitudes toward PrEP. If they are sexually active, they will also report about their history of condom use during sex. Adolescents will also complete a video-recorded "condom demonstration" in which they will demonstrate the appropriate technique for applying a condom, using a real condom and a oval-shaped shampoo bottle. Finally, adolescents will self-report whether they have received an HIV test in the previous year, consistent with recommendations for gay and bisexual men by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Objective: This research was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of the online psychoeducation program including sexual health education in physically disabled adolescents. Materials and Methods: In this study, a randomized experimental design with pretest-posttest, follow-up measurement, intervention and control groups was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the sexual health online psychoeducation program in adolescents with physical disabilities. The universe of the study consists of adolescent members aged 12-15 in the Turkish Spinal Cord Paralysis Association.(N :600). Nearly 90 people with physical disabilities and their families, who were included in the inclusion criteria of the study, were reached through the institution. 62 people were included in the study as a result of the foresights made due to the intensity of their online classes due to the Covid- 19 pandemic, and their inability to volunteer for the subject of the research (they are ashamed and do not want to discuss it as a topic to be discussed). . Participants were divided into 31 participants as intervention group and 31 participants as control group by randomization method. The intervention group was divided into 3 groups of 10 and a six-week psychoeducation program lasting 60 minutes once a week was applied. At the end of the training, the intervention and control groups were given a post-test and a follow-up test at the end of the 3rd month.
