There were significant correlations between experience of attending sexual education (r=.32, p=.003) and sexual knowledge (r=.14, p=.047) with sexual healthcare attitude. Sexual education on the job (β=.13, p=.004), supplementary sexual education (β=.17, p=.009), sexual knowledge (β=.16, p=.048), and obstetrics and gynecology department carrier (β=.29, p<.001) explained 14.0% of sexual healthcare attitude.
