  • The main purpose of the study is to identify the perception, as well as the prejudices, of sexuality of the elderly and their sexual life. Older men and women aged 66-80 (N=17) who are married, healthy, and living in communities were interviewed regarding ADL, present and past sexual practices, prejudices on elderly sexuality, and obstacles to sexual life. The findings of this study are as follows: First, the old perceived that sexuality even in old age is an important part of life. However, they were also prejudiced about sexual intimacy in old age. Second, although an increase in age is correlated with a decrease in sexual activity, a number of older men and women continue to have active sexual life and they are satisfied with it as ever. This indicates a duality in the way the elderly perceive sexuality. Third, health status, partner's responsiveness, and environmental problems are prominent obstacles to sexual life. The study revealed that late-life sexuality must be conceived as a complex bio-psycho-social phenomenon. Consequently, it is important to hold sexual education programs for the young and the old.

  • The aim of this study was to assess adolescents' sexuality and to gather student opinions on current school-based sex education in South Korea. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted in Seoul, Incheon, and Kyunggi Province to assess the status and needs of high school sexuality education. Survey data was obtained from 1,130 senior high school students. The rates of sexual intercourse for boys and girls were 33.1% and 13.2% respectively. Boys were more likely to be sexually involved (p = .000) and experienced earlier at first sexual intercourse than girls (p = .006). Among students who had sexual intercourse, only 20.3% (21.1% of boys and 19.1% of girls) used contraceptives at first sexual intercourse. The proportion of respondents who had had sexual intercourse was higher among those with poor self-perceived academic performance (p = .000). The proportion was also higher among those with a boy or girl friend (p = .000). Other risk-taking behaviors such as smoking and drinking were associated with sexual activity (p = .000). This study found that most students were not satisfied with sex education because of teachers' lack of information and skills in delivering it. Most teachers providing sex education were not qualified and/or trained. They should receive adequate training and guidelines for the training. Training should also give teachers time to practice and become comfortable in delivering it.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a sexuality education program for early adolescents. The overall goals of the program were to not only increase knowledge and skirts, but also to improve the awareness of healthy sex in order to promote premarital abstinence, parent-teen communication and parental awareness of the importance of parental roles and responsibilities in prevention of sexual problems of the early adolescent. The program consisted of six sessions: puberty changes during adolescence, the meaning of sexuality, sexual drives in dating relationships, understanding of the risks associated with early sexual involvement and support for postponing sexual activities, managing and avoiding sexually risky situations, the importance of communications with parents about issues related to sexuality. The program evaluation had three steps: pre-test, immediate post-test and two month follow-up post test. The results showed that the program had a significantly positive effect on the improvement of adolescent's knowledge about sex, and attitudes and behaviors toward sex, particularly in the immediate post-test. At the two month follow-up assessment, the effect of the program still remained strong, though there was a sight and partial reduction which was not statistically significant. Most of the program participants expressed a high level of satisfaction with the program. Parental involvement appeared to be effective as well. Recommendations for further study include: to re-evaluate the curriculum for various other participants. In addition, further study which would compare post-test results of these participants with a comparison group of peers who did not receive the program would be valuable. The author believes that the program can be used in implementing specific subjects (sessions) in new settings, as well as implementing the entire package of the program.

  • 본 연구는 국내에 출판된 어린이·청소년 성교육 도서 중 가장 널리 읽히는 도서 77권을 선정하여 도서가 포함하는 주제와 표현 방식, 주요 대상 독자의 특성, 저자의 직업 등 다양한 기준을 바탕으로 성교육 도서의 현황을 분석하였다. 유네스코 국제 성교육 가이드 2018 개정판에 제시된 주제 중 분석 대상 도서에서 가장 많이 언급된 것은 어린이·청소년이 자신의 감정과 몸에 관해 알고자 하는 것이 자연스러운 일이며 책을 통해 스스로 배워나갈 수 있다는 이야기였다. 자신의 신체에 대한 존중, 성 및 재생산과 관련된 기관에 관한 지식, 난자와 정자, 월경 주기, 호르몬의 역할 등도 자주 등장하는 주제였다. 가장 언급되지 않은 주제는 HIV와 AIDS, 젠더 기반 폭력에 관한 내용이었다. 전체 도서의 63.5%가 줄글책이었으며, 그림책과 만화책, 사진 삽화 그림책 등의 형식도 있었다. 2019년을 기점으로 특정 성별의 독자를 염두에 둔 책의 출판이 활발해졌으며, 성교육 도서를 집필하는 저자의 직업군도 다양해졌다. 모든 어린이와 청소년이 자신을 충분히 탐색하고 성장할 수 있게 도우면서, 동시에 타인을 깊이 이해하고 평화롭게 공존할 수 있도록 성교육 도서의 역할과 범위에 대해 더 많은 고민과 논의가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Age, gender, education, family type, presence and health of spouse, health state of the subject, past occupation, dwelling pattern, and economic state made statistically significant difference in sexual behavior. Fifty five percent of the respondents reported no knowledge of STD. Factors such as age, gender, education, presence of spouse, and past occupation were statistically significant in terms of awareness of STD. Conclusion: Age, education, and presence of spouse should be factored in to understand the sexuality of the elderly as well as to develop sexuality counseling programs that provide adequate information for each individual.

  • This study conducted a survey on sexuality for the purpose of substantial verification, focusing on literature reviews of premarital sexuality. The Literature reviews included relevant studies of our society and its cultures such as premarital sexuality and behaviors, expressions of love or intimacy, contraception, abortion, sex education and sexuality in family contexts. The survey was conducted to 355 university students and 200 working premarital adults in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Gangwon areas. It has 21 questions to measure sexuality by sexual altitude sentence completion Scale (composed of 4 categories and options of the other items)which has been widely used by professional counsel institutes. Male and female students complete the sentence of this scale, then similar contents were classified. Love type test was developed by Hendrick & Hendrick (1986) was used to measure love and intimacy. Results from the sentence completion for sexuality attitudes are generally as follows: First of all, there was clear difference in male md female responses about each categories. For example, With regard to the questions on premarital sex with opposite sex friends of long time relationship, more than half of male students said it is all right, whereas more than half of female students answered to the same questions that it can never be possible, with many answering 'I don't know', or leaving them unanswered. The survey result, masturbation answered that Female is needed however many Females actually don't it. But Male is almost necessary and conduct himself. On questions regarding, Homosexuality is both male and Female answered opposed. These results of the study show that premarital adults clearly open to issues on sexuality compared with the past, but they have not established their own sexual identity, which can be seen with big gap between male and female perspectives, due to experiencing confusion under the changing environment of the society.

  • 본 연구는 간호사의 노인의 성에 대한 지식, 태도, 교육 요구도를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구 대상자는 전라북도의 I, K, J시의 종합병원 2곳과 노인 요양원(병원) 5곳에 근무하는 간호사 235명이었으며 자가보고 설문지를 이용하여 2012년 12월 1일부터 10일까지 자료 수집을 하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS win 18.0프로그램을 이용하였다. 각 변수는 t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and DUNCAN을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 대상자의 성지식 평균점수는 $15.91{\pm}6.43$이고, 결혼(p=.024), 근무지(p<.001), 경력( p=.006), 성교육 필요여부(p<.001), 성교육 수용여부(p<.001) 등이 통계적으로 유의하였다. 성태도 평균점수는 $38.26{\pm}4.41$이고 근무지(p=.033), 노인 가족과 동거여부(p=.009), 성교육 필요여부(p<.001), 성교육 수용여부(p<.001)등이 통계적으로 유의하였다. 성교육 요구도의 평균점수는 $35.97{\pm}6.28$이며 연령(p=.023), 노인 가족과 동거여부(p=.014), 성교육 필요여부(p<.001), 성교육 수용여부(p<.001) 등이 통계적으로 유의하였다. 간호사의 노인의 성에 대한 성지식은 성태도(p<.001)와 성교육 요구도(p<.001))가 양의 상관관계로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과로 학부과정 및 간호사 대상으로 노인의 성에 관한 전반적인 교육의 필요성과 중요성을 알 수 있었으며, 이를 기초로 임상에서 노인들의 건강 사정 및 간호 중재 시 노인의 성에 대해 좀 더 적극적인 간호가 요구된다.
