Sexualidade humana na formação do enfermeiro

Abstract

A questionnaire was applied to undergraduate nursing students in order to verify the ideas on the sexuality theme they had absorbed from the notions they received in their nursing undergraduate program. Results showed that most of these students have slightly, limited and unbased notions concerning human sexuality. They also use the terms sex and sexuality as if they were synonyms. Therefore, authors concluded that these students need to acquire knowledge about sexuality and some professional situations experienced are also mentioned. They also discussed the type of knowledge received and which courses approach it during the program.

“…Previous studies have reported the importance of working knowledge, comfort and attitude towards sexuality in the training of undergraduate students (8,24,25); however, no comprehensive instrument validated with all these variables has been used till date.…”

A corporalidade do cliente segundo representações de estudantes de enfermagem

“…Dessa forma, diante de tanta vergonha e desconforto da estudante, acaba-se evitando examinar tal região. Referem que não se sentem à vontade por ser um incômodo muito grande caso o cliente tenha uma ereção: (19) . Na enfermagem a sexualidade também é tratada como um tabu, percebido pela carência de estudos, discussões e reflexões realizadas em nível acadêmico e quando viabilizadas aparem numa perspectiva patológica limitada ao coito e ao ato sexual (14) .…”

“…As instituições formadoras precisam comprometer-se a capacitar o aluno quanto a este conteúdo, intervindo neste assunto para que o homem seja tratado como um ser holístico, com seus múltiplos processos interdependentes, que permeiam o ciclo da vida, dentre eles o da sexualidade (19) .…”
