Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the experience, attitude and practice of sexuality education for teachers, so as to provide evidence for promoting sexuality education training for teachers and teaching ability improvement. Methods From September to October 2021, 2 146 valid data of kindergarten and primary and secondary school teachers across the country were collected. Associateds factors of teachers' sexuality education behavior were explored by Logistic regression analysis. Results Family and school-based sexuality education experiences were insufficient among teachers (22.51%, 46.55%), and the proportions of female teachers who had received sexuality education (20.44%, 41.67%) were significantly higher than that of male teachers (2.05%, 4.90%). Currently, 47.53% of the kindergartens and primary and secondary schools from participating teachers didn't carry out sex education, which mainly focused in the field of reproductive health and physical development. Kindergartens and primary and secondary schools often integrated sex education into other disciplines (64.48%, 47.83%). Teachers' acceptance of family and school-based sexuality education, students' willingness to communicate on sexual topics with teachers, teachers' confidence in answering sexual questions were positively correlated with teachers' teaching activities of sexuality education (OR=1.59, 1.37, 1.67, 1.67, P < 0.01). Conclusions Teachers' teaching ability of sexuality education is insufficient, and school-based sexuality education couldn't meet students-developmental needs. Providing sexuality education training to teachers and enhancing their confidence in answering sexual questions are helpful to facilitate sexuality education teaching activities.
