ABSTRACT

This paper reports on findings from an integrative literature review of evaluation studies undertaken into sexual health promotion preparation programmes aimed at professionals with a sexual health promotion remit. Using a pre-defined search strategy, inclusion criteria and PRISMA guidelines, databases were systematically searched. Studies were screened and those included were quality assessed. Twenty-seven relevant studies were identified. Thematic analysis showed programmes were diverse in terms of how they had been developed, the content included, approaches to evaluation and outcomes identified. Evaluations showed participation in a training programme encouraged participants to feel more comfortable and confident to discuss sexual health within their role and more likely to introduce sexual health into client discussions. The types of programmes and evaluation approaches were diverse making direct comparison between them challenging. There should be agreed core outcome impact measures for sexual health education programmes in the areas of knowledge, comfort, skills and changes to practice, to allow for more direct comparison in future evaluation studies.

摘要

本文报告了综合文献综述的结果，这些研究对针对具有促进性健康职权的专业人员的性健康促进准备计划进行的评估研究。使用预先定义的搜索策略、纳入标准和 PRISMA 指南，系统地搜索了数据库。对研究进行筛选，对纳入的研究进行质量评估。确定了 27 项相关研究。专题分析表明，计划在制定方式、所包括的内容、评估方法和确定的结果方面各不相同。评估表明，参加培训计划鼓励参与者在他们的职责范围内讨论性健康时感到更加自在和自信，并且更有可能将性健康引入客户讨论中。计划的类型和评估方法多种多样，因此直接比较它们具有挑战性。应该在知识、舒适度、技能和实践变化方面为性健康教育计划制定核心结果影响措施，以便在未来的评估研究中进行更直接的比较。
