Exploring the Interpretation of Medical Students of the Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale
American Journal of Sexuality Education, v17 n3 p304-319 2022
Effectively addressing the sexual health concerns of patients is critical to supporting and improving overall health for individuals and communities. This study aimed to collect validity evidence for use of the Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS) in a sexual health curriculum among undergraduate medical students. A qualitative thematic analysis was conducted with three focus groups of medical students. Early findings indicate the need to modify the current version of the instrument to make it more useful to learners. A modified BSAS survey could help students understand their own perspectives about sexuality and how their perspectives influence their ability to provide non-judgmental patient care.
