Abstract

Effectively addressing the sexual health concerns of patients is critical to supporting and improving overall health for individuals and communities. This study aimed to collect validity evidence for use of the Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS) in a sexual health curriculum among undergraduate medical students. A qualitative thematic analysis was conducted with three focus groups of medical students. Early findings indicate the need to modify the current version of the instrument to make it more useful to learners. A modified BSAS survey could help students understand their own perspectives about sexuality and how their perspectives influence their ability to provide non-judgmental patient care.

摘要

有效解决患者的性健康问题对于支持和改善个人和社区的整体健康至关重要。本研究旨在收集在本科医学生性健康课程中使用简要性态度量表 (BSAS) 的有效性证据。对三个医学生焦点小组进行了定性主题分析。早期研究结果表明需要修改该工具的当前版本，使其对学习者更有用。修改后的 BSAS 调查可以帮助学生了解他们自己对性的看法，以及他们的看法如何影响他们提供非评判性患者护理的能力。
