AB  - BACKGROUND: The provision of sexual healthcare plays an integral role in the 
      field of oncology nursing. However, limitations in the knowledge, attitude, and 
      practice perspectives of oncology nurses require detailed study. AIM: In this 
      study the authors sought to describe the knowledge, attitude, and practice of 
      oncology nurses regarding sexual healthcare from a nationwide perspective and to 
      explore the factors that influence them. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional 
      descriptive study using stratified random sampling of certified oncology nurses 
      from 55 hospitals in 6 provinces in Central South China. In total, 2530 nurses 
      participated and completed the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice questionnaire of 
      Sexual Health Care (KAP of SHC), the Nurses Clinic Communication Competency 
      Scale, the Nurses Professional Values Scale, and the General Self-efficacy Scale. 
      Multivariate linear regression was used to explore influencing factors. OUTCOMES: 
      The primary variable was the knowledge, attitude, and practice of sexual 
      healthcare provision. Secondary variables included professional value, clinical 
      communication competency, self-efficacy, and demographic factors. RESULTS: The 
      median KAP of SHC score was 139 (possible range 72 to 288). Attitude of SHC 
      scored highest, followed by knowledge and practice scores. Professional values 
      were positively associated with knowledge (odds ratio [OR] = 0.057; 95% CI: 
      0.023-0.091; P < .01) and attitude (OR = 0.319; 95% CI: 0.268-0.370, P < .01) of 
      SHC. Clinical communication competency was only positively related to the 
      attitude of SHC (OR = 3.960; 95% CI: 2.701-5.218, P < .01). Self-efficacy was 
      positively related to KAP and the knowledge (OR = 0.616; 95% CI: 0.506-0.725, 
      P < .01), attitude (OR = 0.187; 95% CI: 0.052-0.322, P < .01), and practice 
      (OR = 0.840; 95% CI: 0.735-0.944, P < .01) of SHC. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: 
      Knowledge assistance, attitude training, and practice coaching resources must be 
      on the agenda to optimize professional practice for oncology nurses. STRENGTHS 
      AND LIMITATIONS: This study provides data based on the Knowledge, Attitude, 
      Belief and Practice (KABP) model in a nationwide sample of oncology nurses. In 
      addition, the relationship between self-efficacy and KAP of SHC has been explored 
      for the first time. The limitations are that this study may have some bias and 
      did not take into account mediating relationships. CONCLUSIONS: Oncology nurses 
      exhibit moderate levels of KAP of SHC. It is noteworthy that self-efficacy and 
      position are the only 2 factors that influenced all aspects of KAP of SHC.
