这项探索性研究采用调查方法，以产生有关祖父母和孙子的性行为，沟通和态度和感受这些过程的数据。该样本包括40名非裔美国祖父母-孙子对，总共有80名参与者，从五个教堂招募。一个开放式问题询问参与者他们是否愿意使用教堂作为预防艾滋病毒的场所。祖父母对性交流的态度和感觉比他们青春期的孙子孙女更积极。祖父母和他们青春期的孙辈都接受利用教堂作为艾滋病毒预防场所的想法，并就如何制定以教堂为基础的性活动计划提出了建议。祖父母的作用不断被重新定义;因此，我们必须继续审查这一人口及其抚养的孙辈的需求。护士们可以根据这项研究的结果来制定以教会为基础的性活动计划。
This exploratory study uses survey methodology to generate data on grandparent-grandchild sexuality communications and attitudes and feelings about these processes. The sample includes 40 African American grandparent-grandchild dyads for a total of 80 participants recruited from five churches. One open-ended question asks the participants about their willingness to use churches as venues in HIV prevention. Grandparents have more positive attitudes and feelings about sexuality communications than their adolescent grandchildren. Both grandparents and their adolescent grandchildren are receptive to the idea of using churches as venues in HIV prevention and provide recommendations about how a church-based sexuality program could be developed. The role of grandparents is constantly being redefined; therefore, we must continue to examine the needs of this population and the grandchildren they are raising. Nurses can build on the study's findings to develop church-based sexuality programs.
