These behaviors do not mean that the patient cannot meet their sexual needs. It is not known how often nurses encounter such behaviors, how nurses' approach sexual patient behaviors, and whether nurses have a therapeutic approach. Purpose: This study was carried out in order to reveal how often nurses encounter sexual behaviors of patients and to determine whether nurses show a therapeutic approach to sexual patient behaviors. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 276 nurses. The data were collected by using a Questionnaire Form. Data were analyzed using descriptive and chi-square test. Results: The mean age of the nurses participating in the study was 31.12 ± 7.26. 93.8% of them were women, 61.6% were married, 57.2% were undergraduate graduates and the average duration of working life was 9.24±7.11. Compared with the nurses in the other groups, the older nurses, the married ones, those with distant education undergraduate degree, those with 13 years or more working experience and those working in intensive care units were more likely to expose to inappropriate sexual behaviors of the patients (p < .05). Nurses stated that 42.4% of them were exposed to the patients with inappropriate sexual behaviors. The types of inappropriate sexual behaviors that the nurses were exposed to were as follows; "verbal or written" (51.1%), "nonverbal" (37.6%), "physical" (11.3%). The approaches of the nurses towards these patients were "non-therapeutic" (68.1%). Conclusion: It was determined that almost half of the nurses encountered sexual patient behaviors and had difficulty in approaching patients who behaved sexually, and most of the nurses had non-therapeutic approaches to patients who behaved sexually. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
