Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the
knowledge level of teachers regarding sexual health. The sample of the study consists
of 462 teachers working at primary, middle and high schools in Turkey. As the
study aims to determine the current status of teachers regarding sexual health
knowledge, the relational screening model was used. The Cronbach’s Alpha
correlation coefficient was calculated and determined to be 0.782. t test and
ANOVA were used for data analysis. The “Sexual Health Knowledge Scale” used
within the scope of the sexual health course is a 5-point Likert scale and the
possible score from the scale varies from 1 to 5. It is possible to say that
the teachers had a high knowledge level regarding sexual health. Analysis
showed that female teachers had a significantly higher knowledge level compared
to male teachers, married teachers had a significantly higher knowledge level
compared to single teachers, teachers who took the Sexual Health course during
their undergraduate studies had a significantly higher knowledge level compared
to teachers who did not, and teachers who received education regarding sexual
health had a significantly higher knowledge level compared to teachers who did
not. |
