Bullying is a widespread problem
The Federal government estimates that 2 out of 10 high
school students experience bullying each year (typically
worse for middle school students).
For lesbian, gay, bisexual, intersexed, and
transgender students,
10.
Sexual health:
The experience of ongoing physical, psychological, and socio-cultural
well being related to sexuality
Not merely the absence of dysfunction or disease
Students cited a lack of inclusion based on : personal discomfort with the topic, lack of
educational preparation, and that similar practice was mirrored by their colleagues
Literature demonstrates that nurses acknowledge it as an aspect of care (Ekland, 1997; Guthrie,
1999; Higgins et al., 2006; Shell, 2007,)
Studies continue to show that nurses are consistently hesitant to integrate sexual health into their
practice (Jolley 2001; Lewis & Bor, 1994; Magnan et al., 2005; Treacy & Randle, 2004)
