“…The reliability of the latent variables of attitude, behavioral intention, and behaviors of provision of SHC were consistent with those of previous studies. 40 , 41 The scales of subjective norms, confidence about SHC, and gender role orientation were first validated in the present study. The highlights of this study are the scales of subjective norms, and confidence about SHC confirms the content of the PLISSIT-based staged levels to provide SHC in clinical practice.…”

“…The Cronbach’s alphas of NISHC was 0.96; these 3 dimensions explain 72.42% of the variance. 40 The NASHC scale has 4 dimensions: permission (4items), limited information (5 items), specific suggestion (3items), and intensive therapy (2 items). The Cronbach’s alpha of NASHC was 0.85; these 4 dimensions explain 60.63% of the variance.…”

Introduction Patients’ sexual concerns are private, sensitive issues, and providing sexual health care (SHC) is a legitimate area of concern for the nursing practice. Aims This study tests a structural equation model for factors that affect SHC among Taiwanese nurses. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed between August 2014 and July 2015. A total of 471 registered nurses from a medical center in Taiwan were enrolled in this study. All nurses participated anonymously and completed 3 questionnaires: Nursing Attitude in Sexual Health Care scale, Nursing Intervention in Sexual Health scale, and Gender Role Orientation scale. The Permission-Limited Information-Specific Suggestions-Intensive Therapy model based on scale was application, and theory of planned behavior was used to examine the relationship of these 3 scales in nurses. Main Outcome Measures SHC surveys were developed for nurses. These valid and reliable instruments included Nursing Attitude in Sexual Health Care, Nursing Intervention in Sexual Health, and Gender Role Orientation. Results The fitted structural equation model was valid. The construct reliability of latent variables ranged from 0.730 to 0.942, which met the requirement of 0.70. The attitude about SHC (β = 0.182, P < .001), subjective norms on SHC (β = 0.146, P < .001), and confidence about SHC (β = 0.583, P < .001) had significant effects on the behavioral intention to provide SHC. Subsequently, the behavioral intention to provide SHC had a significant, direct effect on the behavioral frequency of providing SHC (β = 0.356, P < .001). However, gender role orientation was not significantly associated with behavioral intention and behavioral frequency to provide SHC. Conclusions The good fit for the structural equation model suggests that the predictors of behavioral intention and behaviors of providing SHC include attitude, subjective norms, and perceived control. The stronger behavioral intention of providing SHC resulted in a higher frequency of providing SHC. However, the relationship between gender role orientation and SHC had no significant effect.

“…23 By applying the "limited information" and "specific suggestion" levels of the PLISSIT, the Nursing Intervention on Sexual Healthcare (NISH) scale can be used to further assess the extent of nursing interventions required during SHC. 27 Most previous investigations of the sexual function of infertile women were conducted as cross-sectional studies, thus the changes in the various domains of sexual function and SHC needs during the entire course of pregnancy are poorly characterized. IVF generates a complex and distinctive coping experience for women, involving objective bodily experiences, identity confusion, grief and/or anxiety, 28 and poorer pregnancy health and birth outcomes.…”

Introduction Infertility may negatively impact sexual function. Women with fertility problems usually prioritize treatment for infertility, but their sexual function in each trimester of pregnancy is poorly researched. Aim To compare the sexual function and sexual healthcare needs of women who underwent successful in vitro fertilization (IVF group) and women who conceived naturally (CN group) during each trimester. Methods Longitudinal prospective cohort study was conducted from August 2016 to July 2018. The IVF group ( n = 100) was recruited from a leading reproductive treatment center; the CN group ( n = 100), at the prenatal clinic of a medical center in central Taiwan. Questionnaires were mailed to women in the 10th–11th gestational week; 70 women in the IVF group and 75 in the CN group completed all 3 questionnaires, during the 10th–11th, 20th–21st, and 30th–31st gestational weeks. Main Outcome Measures Female Sexual Function Index and Nursing Intervention on Sexual Healthcare needs were compared between groups in each trimester. Results Most participants reported sexual dysfunction concerns during pregnancy. In the first trimester, the Female Sexual Function Index score was significantly lower in the IVF group than in the CN group (18.13 ± 6.27 vs 20.34 ± 5.87, respectively; P < .05). Sexual healthcare needs at the permission level were significantly lower in the IVF group than in the CN group (10.78 ± 2.41 vs 11.79 ± 2.67, respectively; P < .05). Conclusion The IVF group had lower sexual function in the first trimester than the CN group. Sexual function improved in the second trimester in the IVF group but decreased throughout pregnancy in the CN group. The CN group had a greater need for sexual healthcare nursing intervention at the permission level than the IVF group. Huang C-Y, Liou C-F, Lu Y-C, et al.

Aims To determine the effect of design thinking approach in interprofessional education programme of human sexuality course. Design A pre‐test and post‐test of single‐group quasi‐experimental study. Methods The 35 nursing students and seven psychology students in their third year were selected by the computer randomly sampling through the lottery method. The course proceeded between September 2019 and January 2020. The participants had received an 8‐week, 16‐hr design thinking approach in interprofessional education programme of human sexuality course (one section per week, 2 hr per section). We used the nursing attitude toward sexual healthcare scale, nursing intervention toward sexual healthcare scale to assess students' attitude and behaviour intention toward sexual health care and competence of interprofessional education scale to assess students' competence of cooperation before and after the teaching programme. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and t‐tests. A qualitative reflection log was also provided and analysed for themes. The SQUIRE‐EDU checklist was followed. Results The students' attitude and behavioural intention dimension score in the post‐test is higher than those in the pre‐test and reach statistically significant differences both in total and subscale. Interprofessional core competence score of Observation Experience, Reflective Feedback, Interprofessional Cooperation, Innovative Design, and Applied Technology score in the post‐test is higher than those in the pre‐test and reach statistically significant differences both in total and subscale. Design thinking in interprofessional education programme of human sexuality course could significantly improve both nursing and psychology students' attitude, behaviour intention of providing sexual health care and competence of interprofessional cooperation.
