Abstract

Background: Family-based sexual health education is critical as it plays a crucial role in promoting well-being by fostering healthy attitudes and behaviors toward sexuality. This study investigated educators’ perspectives on the factors that facilitate the successful implementation of family-based sexual health education in Northern Nigeria.

Methods: This qualitative study utilized a phenomenological research approach. Data were collected through open-ended interviews with faculty members from universities and health practitioners across five states in northern Nigeria. Participants were purposefully selected to take part in the study interviews based on their practical and research experience in the subject matter. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s method.

Results: Interviews with 18 educators revealed 17 subthemes, which were classified into three main themes: caregivers’ competence, adequacy of external resources and support, and culturally proportionate content.

Conclusion: The study provides valuable insights into the conditions necessary to promote sexual health education and establish a supportive environment for open discussions and effective interventions within families in Northern Nigeria.
