Abstract
Background: Home-based sexual health education is of utmost importance as it plays a crucial role in promoting the well-being of individuals and communities. This study aims to investigate educators' perceptions of the factors that facilitate successful implementation of family-based sexual health education in order to promote sexual health education in Northern Nigeria. Method: Utilizing a phenomenological research approach, data was collected using open ended question in an interview with faculty members of universities and health practitioners from five states of the region. The participants who possess practical and research experience in the subject matter, were purposefully selected to partake in the study interviews. The Colaizzi's method was employed for data analysis. Result: The data analysis revealed seventeen subcategories that were classified into three main categories: Caregivers' personal competence, adequacy of external resources and support, and culturally proportionate content. The study provided valuable insights into the conditions needed to promote sexual health education and create a supportive environment for open and comprehensive discussions among families in Northern Nigeria. Conclusions: The study reveals that adopting a parenting approach that applies supportive skills and seeks external support to respond to the sociocultural needs of families will promote sexual health and wellbeing.
