Dataset Information

Knowledge scale of Nursing students about sexuality of people with spinal cord injury.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

to build, validate and verify the reliability of the Scale of knowledge about sexuality of people with spinal cord injury for nursing students.

Methods

a methodological study, following the steps: 1) Construction based on literature review; 2) Validation of the content with calculation of the Content Validity Index and the Modified Kappa Coefficient; 3) Pre-test with Nursing students; and 4) Measurement of reliability by internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha).

Results

the first version of the instrument presented 13 items. After validation, the items received values above 0.80 and 0.76 for the Content Validity Index and Modified Kappa Coefficient, and it was suggested to separate three items to contemplate gender-specific aspects. After pre-testing, it was recommended that the writing of two items be revised. The final scale, with 16 items, showed Cronbach's alpha equal to 0.93.

Conclusions

the constructed scale presented valid content and proved to be reliable for application with nursing students.

Project description:BackgroundLiving safely sexuality and without risk to one's health is an international priority. The youth age group has specific characteristics that make it a particularly vulnerable group for adverse consequences such as unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted infections. Health professionals are an important group to address this issue; however, to achieve a good result, sufficient knowledge is required to solve all the issues. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge of young university students studying a nursing or a medical degree.MethodsA descriptive cross-sectional study of young medical and nursing students was conducted. The selection of participants was made by convenience. The Sexuality and Contraceptive Knowledge Instrument scale was used to measure knowledge level. A bivariate analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test or the Kruskal-Wallis H test, depending on the number of categories of the independent variable. Finally, a multivariate analysis was conducted using a multiple linear regression model, establishing the level of knowledge as the dependent variable and all variables that obtained statistical significance in the bivariate analysis as predictors. Data collection was carried out from October 2020 to March 2021.ResultsThe sample comprised 657 health university students. Participants had a good level of knowledge, with 77.9% answering 50% of the questions correctly. Before training, 34.15% of the participants did not pass 50% of the questions asked. This percentage decreased to 12.87% after receiving sexuality training during their university degrees. The main training gaps were found for the items on hormonal contraceptive methods. The bivariate analysis showed that female participants had significantly higher knowledge scores, as did those who had used a hormonal contraceptive method during the most recent intercourse or were aware of family planning centers. These variables maintained their significant effect at the multivariate level, obtaining two models with good explanatory power for participants of both university degrees.ConclusionThe general level of knowledge of the healthcare students was high and sufficient after receiving training during the university degree (87.13% of the participants obtain more than 50% of items correct). The main training gap was found for items on hormonal contraceptive methods, which should be emphasized in future training programs.
