Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı hemşirelerin cinsel mitlere inanma durumu ve mitlere inanmayı etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesidir.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı türde olan bu araştırma, İstanbul’un Avrupa yakasında hizmet veren bir devlet hastanesinde çalışan 182 hemşire ile Mayıs–Temmuz 2019 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında “Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu” ve “Cinsel Mit Değerlendirme Formu” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, sayı yüzdelik hesaplamaları ve ki-kare önemlilik testleri kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamında yer alan hemşirelerin %31.3’ünün cinsellikle ilgili kulaktan dolma bilgiler nedeniyle korku yaşadığı ve %69.8’inin ailesinde cinsellikle ilgili konuların konuşulmadığı belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin en fazla inandıkları mit “Eşler birbirlerini sevdikleri takdirde sevişmekten nasıl zevk alabileceklerini de bilirler.” (%81.3) iken, en az inandıkları mit “Seksi erkek yönetir, kadının seksi başlatması ahlaksızlıktır.” (%90.1) miti olarak bulunmuştur. Hemşirelerin yaş grupları, medeni durumları, evlilik öncesi cinsel deneyimi olma durumu, arkadaşları ile cinsellikle ilgili konuları konuşma durumu ve ailesinin cinsellikle ilgili konulara yaklaşımı ile cinsel mitlere inanma durumları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır (p<0.05).
Sonuç: 39 yaş ve üzeri yaş grubunda olan, evli ve evlilik öncesinde cinsel deneyimi olmayan hemşireler daha fazla cinsel mitlere sahiptir. Hemşireler cinsel mitlerinin farkında olmalı, hastaya bütüncül bakım verirken profesyonel davranmalıdır.

Nurses' Sexual Myth Beliefs and Affecting Factors

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to determine the status of nurses’ beliefs in sexual myths and the factors affecting these beliefs in myths.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in a public hospital operating on the European side of Istanbul with 182 nurses between May-July 2019. In the data collection, “Introductory Characteristics Form” and “Sexual Myth Evaluation Questionnaire” were used. In the evaluation of the data, numerical percentage calculations and chi-square tests were used.
Results: It was determined that 31.3% of the participant nurses were living in fear because of hearsay information about sexuality and 69.8% of them had families with no sexual talk. While the most commonly believed myth by the nurses was “As long as spouses love each other, they know how they can get pleasure from sex” (81.3%), the least one was “Sex is managed by the male, it is immoral for the female to start sex.” (90.1%). A statistically significant difference was found between the nurses’ age group, marital status, premarital sexual experience status, having conversations with friends about subjects related to sexuality status and their beliefs about sexual myths (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Nurses who are 39 years of age or older, married and have no sexual experience before marriage have more sexual myths. Nurses should be aware of their sexual myths and act professionally while giving holistic care to the patient.
