Abstract: (882 Views)
Background: Undoubtedly, sexual health education plays a pivotal role in fostering sound sexual development, mitigating adverse outcomes stemming from risky sexual behaviors, and establishing a robust basis for a healthy transition into adulthood.
Aims: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a sexual health training program concerning the enhancement of sexual knowledge and attitudes among women and men who are about to get married and are employed at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences during the initial months of 2023.
Methods: The research methodology employed a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The study encompassed individuals employed at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, specifically women and men on the verge of marriage. Through targeted sampling, 40 such individuals were selected to explore the components of sexual health and gauge the impact of the independent variable, with 10 couples assigned to the trained group and 10 couples to the control group. Both sets of participants completed the "Knowledge and Sexual Attitude Questionnaire" developed by Gospel in 2013 both before and after undergoing the sexual health training sessions, totaling 8 sessions, each lasting 40 minutes. Data analysis was conducted utilizing SPSS software version 26, employing covariance analysis to interpret the results.
Results: The findings indicated that the sexual health educational intervention had a noteworthy and significant impact on the sexual knowledge and attitudes of individuals on the brink of marriage (p< 0.001).
Conclusion: The study's outcomes suggest that the sexual health training intervention package influences the sexual knowledge and attitudes of individuals on the verge of marriage, leading to enhancements in both women's and men's levels of sexual knowledge and attitudes.
