Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine the factors associated with the level of sexual health literacy of midwives and their views on sexual healthcare.
Design: This is a descriptive and correlational study.
Sample: A total of 324 midwives with at least 1 year of professional experience and at least a bachelor's degree participated in the study.
Measurements: Data were collected with the "Midwife Information Form" and "Sexual Health Literacy Scale."
Results: The professional work experience, marital status, and education related to sexual health did not affect the sexual health literacy of midwives. Age, educational status, and voluntary choice of the profession willingly affected sexual health literacy. The sexual health literacy of midwives who hold positive views on sexuality and sexual healthcare services is higher.
Conclusions: The midwives' perspectives on sexual health, their level of knowledge, and the sexual health education they receive impact the quality of care they provide. Sexual and reproductive health should be emphasized within the scope of midwifery education.
