title: Exploring sexuality and sexual health in nursing.
abstract: In order to provide acceptable care, nurses need appropriate knowledge, attitudes and skills. Nurse education in relation to sexuality has tended to focus on the knowledge and attitude components of sexuality, but a skills component must also be included. Experiential learning activities should be explored by nurses and nurse educators as a means of developing effective and sensitive ways of working with patients' sexuality and sexual health-care issues.
