Impact of preparing nursing students to deliver a parent-based sexual health intervention on attitudes and intentions for sexual health education and parent communication counseling: a mixed methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nurses are well positioned to promote sexual health but are not adequately prepared in their nursing programs to engage families on this topic and often lack the knowledge and confidence necessary to counsel families about sexual health communication. The purpose of this study was to determine how facilitating a parent-based sexual health intervention would impact nursing students' attitudes and intentions about sexual health education and parent communication counseling.

Methods

Using an embedded mixed-methods design, which integrated a quasi-experimental framework, we examined the impact of participation in a parent-based sexual health intervention among 126 baccalaureate nursing students enrolled in a community/public health nursing clinical course. Independent
