My Sexual Attitudes By Completing Four Assessments

The assessment process is the back bone to any package of care and it is vital that it is personal and appropriate to the individual concerned. Although studies have found that there is no singular theory or understanding as to what the purpose of assessment is, there are different approaches and forms of assessment carried out in health and social care. These different approaches can sometimes result in different outcomes.

Sexual disorders have always been a controversial topic in the scientific community. Some see certain sexual behaviors as deviant, “abnormal”, or even as addictions while others view those same behaviors as natural. But how can we classify a topic so taboo as normal or abnormal when there are such strong societal pressures to conform and repress? Hypersexuality is one of the most prevalent sexual issues that is being presented today and psychologists along with other mental health professionals are trying to categorize.

Over the course of the semester, my attitude towards my personal sexual behaviors altered drastically and my scores based of the questionnaire reflected on those changes. One prominent reason to why I believe my scores changed,

The sexuality and reproductive assessment helps describes sexual fulfillment, sexual perception, and sexual self –concepts. (Edelman & Mandel, 2011). This assessment is focused on the satisfaction of one’s sexual life, and the changes that take place throughout a lifespan. Another pattern is the coping-stress tolerance pattern. This focuses on the family’s adaption to internal and external pressures related to their health, environment, and social status and how they cope with these pressures in their day to day lives. Finally, the last pattern is the values and belief pattern. Values and beliefs vary in different cultures. Therefore, the focus of this pattern is one’s attitude regarding the meaning of life, spirituality, and how these attitudes affect the family related health problems. (Edelman & Mandle, 2011).

The Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS) (Hendrick, Hendrick, & Reich, 2006), a 23-item questionnaire, was designed to measure multi-dimensional attitudes towards sex. The scale is a modified version of the original Sexual Attitudes Scale. For the current study, the Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale will be modified and shortened. The scale is made up of the following four subscales: Permissiveness, Birth Control, Communion, and Instrumentality. Some of the items refer to a specific sexual relationship, while others refer to general attitudes and beliefs about sex (Hendrick, Hendrick, & Reich, 2006). Participants are instructed to answer questions with their current partner in mind. If the respondent is not currently dating anyone, he or she should answer with the most recent partner in mind. If the respondent

These assessment tools would make it much easier to gauge the mental state our patients are in when referencing stress level. It would give specific questions to ask about the patient’s current stress level and could be ice breakers into diving deeper into what’s going on with the patient and can be used as building blocks to help with the patient’s issues once and for all; or at least better equip them with coping skills. Using these assessment tools and other like them would equip the nursing staff with the tool needed to provider more holistic care to the patient which is synonymous with Watson’s Theory of caring.

Page three of the assessment form considers past and current medical conditions and health concerns. This part of the assessment allows the therapist an understanding of how the client’s health is impacting his current emotional strength and how it can be seen as either a strength or risk

Sexual problems occur in 43 percent in women and 31 percent in men. Sexual dysfunctions are direct results of neurological changes that affect our sexual response and inhibits sexual pleasure. This research paper will focus on the various sexual dysfunctions and the three major theoretical perspectives in sociology that explain sexual problems and health: conflict theory, symbolic interactionism and structural functionalism. I infer that lack of intimacy contributes to sexual dysfunctions.

Sexuality is a central aspect of being human, and an essential feature of life – impacting the general well-being and overall quality of life. It is also vital for understanding and defining the concept of sexual health. Although sex and sexuality have been the topics of interest of many artists, writers, painters and musicians throughout human history, scientific research on human sexuality did not begin until 19th century. The commencement of the modern era of sex research was marked by Alfred Kinsey, an American biologist, who published two statistics-packed volumes on human sexuality, Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male and Sexual Behaviour in the Human Female. These Kinsey Reports, as the books have been referred

The opportunities to assess sexual health begin with the health care provider perception on sexual behavior. It is important for the clinician and the patient to be educated on sexual health, and the health care giver to be trained on how to conduct sexual health assessment versus focused assessment on sexual problems. The clinician assessment focus is to promote safe and healthy behaviors regardless of the patient’s sexual preferences, increasing the patient’s understanding on how to prevent sexual diseases. Such assessment needs to be approached in a sensitive, understanding, supportive, compassionate and non judgmental way. This kind of approach can improve communication between the healthcare provider and the patient to view sexual health

Two neuroscientists Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam gathered online data that revealed peoples’ sexual behaviors and sexual desires. The reasoning behind this research because historically sex researchers have not been able to get good raw data or insight into peoples’ true sexual tastes and sexual behaviors because people keep theirs private. The usual way sex researchers try to figure this out is through surveys or just by asking people what they are interested in or what arouses them or what behaviors they did. They were not really able to verify this for themselves and there were many thigns that people just would never be willing to share. With the use of the internet we vould get a very clear picture into what people are actually doing because we could see what they are clicking on, what they are purchasing, what they are downloading,what they are reading or looking at and we could finally get a window into peoples true social tastes. Some of the important terms, that was looked at during the searches made on internet search engines and looked at individual search history, what they search over a period of time. They looked at downloads erotic stories and videos, moist popular websites in the world and figured out which sites got the most “traffic”. They got their hands on more than ten-thousand different romance novels, analyzed the test. They gathered a great variety of different kinds of data. Mnay people think they only looked at online searches, but

Human sexuality is a common phrase for all, and anything, pertaining to the feelings and behaviors of sex for the human race. Sexuality has been a topic that has been discussed and studied for as far back as 1000 years B.C. and is still being studied today. As the discussion of sexuality has progressed through history, theories have been created based on research and experiments that scholars have implemented, based on their own perceptions of human behavior. Out of the many theories that pose to explain sexual behavior, Sexuality Now explained ten that are seemed to be the most overlapped, and built off of theories. Of these theories, two that were discussed in the text were the behavioral and sociological theory. These two theories cover some of the basic ideas of what could possibly influence a person’s sexuality.

Sex drive denotes the power of motivation for sex. Most diverse research and investigations show that males have extra recurring and strong carnal needs as compared to females, which is revealed in impulsive sex feelings, diversity and frequency of erotic imaginations, expected intercourse frequency, preferred sexual partners, desire for different sexual acts, masturbation, inclination to give up sex, instigating against declining sex and sacrificing for sexual intercourse (Baumeister, Catanese, & Vohs, 2001). Common traditional views depict females’ carnal feelings and sexual conduct as totally dissimilar to males’ (Peplau, 2003). Men purportedly get stimulated easily, have robust sex desires and once roused, it is hard for them to exercise self-control. In addition, men derive extra sexual pleasure, concentrate their sexual desires barely on sex, are possessive sexually, participate in adultery, and have intercourse devoid of affection. Such theories depict ladies as having less desire for sex and more self-control. Women purportedly achieve pleasure with difficulty and need passionate intimacy to achieve sexual satisfaction (Baumeister, 2000).

This study showed that the frequency of sexual intercourse, IELT and sexual satisfaction score were statistically significant lower in patients with GW and PE than patients with GW and no PE and healthy control subjects. In addition, this study found that the means of PEDT scores of the five questions and total scores were statistically significant higher in patients with GW and PE than patients with GW and no PE and healthy control subjects.

A self-designed instrument titled “Social values and Sexual Morality Questionnaire” was used for the study and data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as Percentage Scores, Mean,
