性のピアエデュケーションにエデュケータとして参加した看護学生の体験と自己肯定意識の変化

本研究の目的は，性のピアエデュケーションにエデュケータとして参加した学生が自己肯定意識を高めるのかどうか，また，エデュケータとしての活動からどのような体験を得ているのかを明らかにすることである．５年一貫課程の看護学生１１人が，中学生に性のピアエデュケーションを実施した．前後に「自己肯定意識尺度」の回答を求め，同課程の看護学生２８人と比較した．また記述回答から，活動で得た体験の表現された記述を抽出し内容分析した．対照群は「自己肯定意識」に変化がなかった一方で，ピアメンバーは６サブスケール中４つが有意に変化した（ｐ＜０．０５）．またピアエデュケーションの体験は【エデュケータとしてのスキルと役割に気づく】【自らの性の知識・理解の増加を自覚する】【自らのセクシュアリティの捉え方の変化に気づく】に特徴付けられた．ピアエデュケーションの準備を含めた一連の過程が，エデュケータにとって自己を肯定的に捉え直すうえで有効であることが示唆された．

The purpose of this study is to clarify whether the students who participated in peer sexual education as educators raised their self-positive-consciousness, and to clarify what kind of experience they obtained from activities they were involved in as educators. The participants were １１ nursing students who agreed to participate in and were in their final （fifth） year of a nursing program. They performed the peer sexual education to junior high school students. Before and after the delivery of the education, they were required to give their responses to the items in “Scale of Self-Positive-Consciousness”, and their responses were compared with those of ２８ nursing students in the control group. From the written responses of the participants, the descriptions which expressed their experience in the activities were extracted, and content analysis was performed on them. While the Self-Positive-Consciousness of the control group did not experience a change, the peer members’４ subscales changed significantly（p＜０．０５）. Also, the experience of the peer education was characterized as the following types : ［Realize the required skills and roles of an educator］, ［Aware of the enhancement in their own knowledge and understanding on gender］, and ［Realize a change in the way they grasp their own sexuality］. It was suggested that the processes involved in the preparation of peer sexual education are effective for educators to positively review their own selves.
