“…For three decades, this definition has been shaped by political, social, and other historical events, such as the sexual revolution that began in the 1960s, the gay rights movement, and the global impact of HIV/AIDS [2]. The impact of these social, cultural, and political proceedings helped define what people now view as normal or abnormal, acceptable or unacceptable, including sexual health [3].…”

Introduction No widely accepted tool is available to assess nursing interventions on patient’s sexual health among nursing students. Consequently, nursing school faculty cannot determine the sexual healthcare-related skills of nursing students. Aim The aim of this article was to develop and test a scale to assess nursing interventions on sexual health. Methods A 19-item instrument Nursing Interventions on Sexual Health (NISH) was developed using 10 semi-structured interviews of senior nursing students, expert review, and comparative analysis of text and field notes. A total of 198 senior nursing students were recruited from two nursing schools in central Taiwan to test the instrument. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to measure construct validity and Cronbach’s alpha to measure internal consistency. Main Outcome Measures Validity and reliability of the NISH scale based on the Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestion, and Intensive Therapy (PLISSIT) model. Results Three factors (permission, limited information, and specific suggestion) were retained after EFA of the 19 items of NISH. Cronbach’s alpha for the subscales increased from 0.71–0.93 to 0.74–0.94 and from 0.93 to 0.95 for the total scale, with 72.42% of the cumulative variance explained by these three factors. Nursing students’ age (P = 0.019) correlated positively with total score. Conclusions NISH is a useful and reliable scale for assessing the frequency of PLISSIT-related behaviors used by nursing students to address patient’s sexual health concerns. Nursing faculties can use this scale to assess students’ performance and find their omitted behaviors in clinical practice regarding sexual health care.
