Abstract
This is nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study to develop a sexual education program for improving sexual confidence of men with spinal cord injury disabled and assess the effect of the program. The program was based on Dick & Carey's systematic design of instruction, literature review, focus group, in-depth interview, expert meeting, and preliminary study and formative evaluation. Subjects were conveniently assigned to experimental group of 30 and control group of 29, and the program was provided to experimental group once a week for 90~120 minutes, 3 sessions total. Sexual knowledge, attitude, and marriage intention were measured before, after, and after 4 weeks of intervention, and there was a significant difference in sexual knowledge(p<.001) and attitude(p=.020). The program positively changed sexual knowledge and attitude of men with spinal cord injury, and was useful nursing intervention. This study is considered to be significant as a basic data for social awareness ventilation and health education for the disabled.
