[Human sexuality in nursing education].
A questionnaire was applied to undergraduate nursing students in order to verify the ideas on the sexuality theme they had absorbed from the notions they received in their nursing undergraduate program. Results showed that most of these students have slightly, limited and unbased notions concerning human sexuality. They also use the terms sex and sexuality as if they were synonyms. Therefore, authors concluded that these students need to acquire knowledge about sexuality and some professional situations experienced are also mentioned. They also discussed the type of knowledge received and which courses approach it during the program.
