Abstract

Background and Aim: SEXUALITY EDUCATION is one of the most important educational needs of adolescents, and MOTHERS can have a key role in sex education of their daughters. This study aimed at developing, implementing and evaluating a skill-based training program for MOTHERS for SEXUALITY EDUCATION of ADOLESCENT GIRLS in Mahshahr, Iran.Materials and Methods: This was a field trial conducted on 140 MOTHERS having 12- to18-yearold girls between September and March 2012. Data were collected using two reliable questionnaires developed by the investigators ─ a "Parent-Child Relationship: Mother" questionnaire for assessing the MOTHERS’ communication skills completed by the ADOLESCENT GIRLS, and a "Knowledge and attitude about SEXUALITY EDUCATION of adolescents" questionnaire for assessing the MOTHERS’ knowledge and attitude about sex matters and communication, skills completed by the MOTHERS themselves. Based on the results, an educational intervention for MOTHERS was designed consisting of three training sessions and implemented. The MOTHERS’knowledge, attitude and communication scores after a period of three months were compared with the respective baseline scores.Results: Three months after the intervention, the mean scores of MOTHERS’ knowledge and attitude about sexuality matters increased significantly (in both cases p<0.01). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the initial and final scores of MOTHERS’ communication skills (p=0.37).Conclusion: Based on the findings it can be concluded that the designed educational program was effective in improving the knowledge and attitudes of the mother about sexuality matters although it did not affect their communication skills. Promoting communication skills of MOTHERS as an important factor for SEXUALITY EDUCATION of their daughters requires regular, continuous educational sessions, as well as practice and experiences.
