Abstract

Sexual health is an essential aspect of human development and individual rights. It serves as the foundation for both physical and mental well-being, as well as interpersonal relationships. Our study involved 366 nurses working at Hanoi Medical University Hospital, with female nurses constituting 72.4%. The average age was 31.3±5.7 years old; the major educational background was university level at 65.3%. Direct patient care nurses represented a high proportion at 66.1%, and the average work experience was 7.6±5.1 years. About 74.9% of the surveyed nurses reported not having participated in sexual health training, while 25.7% mentioned facing obstacles in caring for patients with sexual health issues. Additionally, 12.5% of nurses reported experiencing sexual harassment. Among nurses with over five year of work experience, age, work position, and family type were found to be correlated with their knowledge of healthcare. These associations were statistically significant with p < 0.05. For nurses with five or fewer years of work experience, the type of family they lived in was found to be significantly correlated with their knowledge of healthcare, with p < 0.05
