Abstract
MEDINA FERNANDEZ, JOSUÉ et al. Influence of the sexual uncertainty of nursing students on sexual attitudes in old age. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.1, pp.97-107. Epub Apr 04, 2023. ISSN 0120-5552. https://doi.org/10.14482/sun.38.1.618.976.
Objective:
Determine the Influence of the sexual uncertainty of nursing students on sexual attitudes in old age.
Method:
Correlational-predictive study, the sample consisted of 222 participants, determined through a convenience sampling in nursing students from two private universities in Mérida, Yucatán. A data card, the scale of sexual uncertainty and sexual attitudes towards old age was applied. Descriptive statistics, spearman correlation and regression models were performed. Ethical aspects were considered for its application.
Results:
The majority of the sample was made up of 68.5% women, a mean age of 20.79 (SD = 2.99). A relationship was found between sexual uncertainty and attitudes towards sexuality in old age (r = -0.224, p <0.05), on the other hand, sexual uncertainty decreases by .33 sexual attitudes towards old age in nursing students. The model indicates that age, sex and uncertainty influence 7.9 % on sexual attitudes.
Conclusión:
It was found that sexual uncertainty influences attitudes towards sexuality in the elderly in nursing students due to the probable prejudices that this age group has, it is necessary to address issues of sexuality in themselves and in the elderly to change this perspective.
