“…This result is similar to other studies, which found that mothers were more interested in providing sex education for their children and spent more time discussing sex-related issues with them [13]. Further, some intervention studies only included mothers as the providers of sex education for their children [9,17]. This trend is similar to studies in the United States where mothers are predominantly cited in most studies as the primary sex educators at home, and mothers are consistently noted as more proactive in engaging their children in talks related to sex.…”

“…Parental teaching at home is one of the most important external environments affecting student's learning activities [7]. As parents often serve as role models and are most aware of their children's specific development [8], sex education has been shown to be very effective when parents and children discuss sex-related issues together [9]. However, parents have frequently reported feeling uncomfortable or embarrassed when talking about sex with their children [9].…”

Jin's [10] study found that parents reported that providing sex education to their children was difficult due to a lack of knowledge of how to teach and provide guidance on sex-related content; therefore, diverse resources should be provided to improve parents' knowledge.…”

This study was conducted to understand sexual knowledge, sexual attitudes, and the perceptions and actualities of sex education among parents of elementary school children. Methods: This is a descriptive study with a sample size of 337. SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis, including descriptive analyses, the t-test, and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: More than 50% of the participants responded that primary sex education for young children should be the responsibility of the parents and that education should be stared during the elementary school period. A moderate correlation was found between parents' sexual knowledge and sexual attitudes (r=.44). Most parents were afraid to provide sex education because of their unfamiliarity with teaching methods and their lack of knowledge. However, 50 of the parents wanted to receive sex-related education. Conclusion: We found that parents would like to learn more about sex education from expert lectures or professional organizations. They were interested in topics including the sexual structure of males/females and sexual physiology. Open communication between parents and their children regarding sex-related issues is important. It is crucial to provide accurate and up-to-date sex education information to parents so that they can effectively teach their children at home.

“…Another important requirement is to ensure that the manner by which parents communicate and interact with their children and the training provided to families prepare them in a way that will enable them to answer their children’s sexual questions at any age [10]. Another study recommended that parents establish good and stable relationships with their children and discuss ethics and society’s values and norms with them [22]. …”

BackgroundGiven that mothers play a role in the sexual education of their daughters, it is important to understand their views of sexual health and related programs. This study was aimed at exploring mothers’ perspectives regarding sexual health education for their adolescent daughters in Mahshahr, Iran.MethodsIn this qualitative study, in-depth interviews with ten key informants and five focus group discussions involving 28 mothers with daughters aged 12–18 were conducted. All the discussions were audio-recorded and later transcribed. The data were classified, after which the main themes and sub-themes were manually extracted and analyzed.ResultsThe five main themes determined were: the necessity of sexual health education for adolescent girls, the sources of information that mothers use, barriers to sexual health education, the need to empower mothers to provide sexual education to their daughters, and recommendations for developing special training programs for mothers. Most participants believed in limiting sexual health education for adolescent girls; nevertheless, they stated that trained mothers were best equipped to educate their daughters. The major barriers identified by the mothers were their own insufficient knowledge about sexual issues, embarrassment surrounding discussions of this issue with their daughters, fear of the arrogance and curiosity of girls, and a lack of skills for effective communication.ConclusionThe results showed that empowering mothers to provide sexual health education is important. Tailored educational programs, based on mothers’ views, should be developed and implemented.

This study was conducted to develop and test effects of a child health management program based on cooperative learning for mothers of preschool children. Methods: For this quasi-experimental study, a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. Outcome measures were level of child health management self-efficacy, child health management practices, child's health behavior. Participants were 55 mothers (experimental group 28, control group 27). The program was composed of 6 categories of home health management for preschool children, and provided for three 120-minute sessions. Data were collected from September to October, 2015, at 3 times: baseline, 3 and 6 weeks after beginning the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. Results: After 3 and 6 weeks, there were significant differences between the two groups in child health management self-efficacy (F = 18.33, p < .001), child health management practices (F = 8.91, p < .001), and child's health behavior (F = 9.91, p < .001). Conclusion: Study findings indicate that this child health management program based on cooperative learning is effective and can be recommended as an intervention for mothers of preschool children. It will contribute to enhanced child health management self-efficacy and health management practices and improved child's health behavior.
