Özet:

 Objective: To determine the relationship between parents attitudes towards their childrens sexual education and their sexual communication and the influencing factors. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted with 305 parents who met the inclusion criteria using a cross-sectional-correlational research design between December and June 2022. Data were collected using the Demographic Information Form, Attitude Towards Sexual Education Scale and Sexual Communication Scale for Parents. Data were analyzed using SPSS for Windows 25.0 program. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t test and ANOVA were used in the analysis of the data. Correlation and logistic regression analyzes were performed. Results: The mean age of the children was 10.035.39 and 52.1 were girls. The parents were between the ages of 18-55. The strongest predictors of parental characteristics associated with attitudes towards sexual education were the mothers education level and employment status p0.05. Among the predictors of sexual communication related to parental attitudes, the content and skill sub-dimensions in managing the communication process were positively correlated p0.05. At the same time, the anxiety sub-dimension showed a negative correlation p0.05. Conclusion: The study determined that parental sexual communication was associated with attitudes towards sexual education. These findings may guide researchers in developing parent-child sexual education programs and health professionals in providing care and services to parents and children.

 Amaç: Ebeveynlerin çocuklarının cinsel eğitimine yönelik tutumları ile cinsel iletişimleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma Aralık-Haziran 2022 tarihleri arasında kesitsel-korelasyonel araştırma deseni kullanılarak dahil etme kriterlerini karşılayan 305 ebeveynle yürütülmüştür. Veriler Demografik Bilgi Formu, Cinsel Eğitime Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği ve Ebeveynler İçin Cinsel İletişim Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS for Windows 25.0 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, bağımsız örneklem t testi ve ANOVA kullanılmıştır. Korelasyon ve lojistik regresyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Çocukların yaş ortalaması 10,035,39 olup 52,1i kızdır. Ebeveynler 18-55 yaş arasındadır. Ebeveyn özelliklerinin cinsel eğitime yönelik tutumlarla ilişkili en güçlü yordayıcılarının annenin eğitim düzeyi ve çalışma durumu olduğu bulundu p0,05. Ebeveyn tutumlarıyla ilişkili cinsel iletişimin yordayıcıları arasında, iletişim sürecini yönetmedeki içerik ve beceri alt boyutları pozitif ilişkiliydi p0,05. Aynı zamanda, kaygı alt boyutu negatif bir ilişki gösterdi p0,05. Sonuç: Çalışmada, ebeveyn cinsel iletişiminin cinsel eğitime yönelik tutumlarla ilişkili olduğu belirlendi. Bu bulgular, araştırmacılara ebeveyn-çocuk cinsel eğitim programları geliştirmede ve sağlık profesyonellerine ebeveynlere ve çocuklara bakım ve hizmet sunmada yol gösterebilir.
