Abstract: (858 Views)
Introduction and purpose: Sex education is one of the important aspects of children's educational programs, which has been recognized as an important challenge for parents. This study aimed to evaluate the interventions implemented for sex education training in Iran.
Methods: This systematic review employed relevant national articles in both English and Persian retrieved from major information databases, such as Scopus, Proquest, PubMed, Science Direct, Springer, Biomed Central, and Google Scholar, as well as Persian databases, including the Iranian Medical Science Articles and the Scientific Information Database of Jihad Daneshgahi. Such Persian and English keywords as “sex education”, “education”, “educational intervention”, “parents”, and “children”, were searched and investigated from 2014 to 2024.
Results: Out of 9401 articles found, 22 interventional articles (experimental, quasi-experimental, and clinical trials) were selected and reviewed. The interventions in the studies included educational sessions, non-virtual education, educational packages, multimedia education, and the use of educational aids. The variables evaluated in the studies included awareness, attitude, and performance in sex education, and the results showed positive effect of education on all variables.
Conclusion: The results obtained from the reviewed studies indicated the low levels of community awareness and attitude toward sex education. Accordingly, effective educational interventions can enhnace parents' awareness and attitudes levels.
