dc.description.abstract Objective: This study aims to determine the status of nurses’ beliefs in sexual myths and the factors affecting these beliefs in myths. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in a public hospital operating on the European side of Istanbul with 182 nurses between May-July 2019. In the data collection, “Introductory Characteristics Form” and “Sexual Myth Evaluation Questionnaire” were used. In the evaluation of the data, numerical percentage calculations and chi-square tests were used. Results: It was determined that 31.3% of the participant nurses were living in fear because of hearsay information about sexuality and 69.8% of them had families with no sexual talk. While the most commonly believed myth by the nurses was “As long as spouses love each other, they know how they can get pleasure from sex” (81.3%), the least one was “Sex is managed by the male, it is immoral for the female to start sex.” (90.1%). A statistically significant difference was found between the nurses’ age group, marital status, premarital sexual experience status, having conversations with friends about subjects related to sexuality status and their beliefs about sexual myths (p en_US
