ABSTRACT
Introduction: Special education guarantees quality care for all the people with special educational needs, since it includes activities developed to favor their learning and social involvement. Educators must have the appropriate knowledge about different topics, such as sexuality.Objectives: To increase knowledge about sexuality in special education workers through an educational intervention.
Methods: An educational intervention validated by experts, with a before and after design, was applied to the workers from the children’s special care center Zunzún, in Playa Municipality. The intervention consisted in workshops on the knowledge about some aspects related to sexuality.
Results: Most of the educators (17/62 %) reported having received information about sexuality; the most cited sources were the center's health personnel (18/66.6 %), radio and television programs (9/33.3 %), and postgraduate courses (7/25.9 %). Before the educational intervention was applied, there was a lack of knowledge about the main theoretical and practical contents; after the intervention, their knowledge and performance with respect to sexuality increased.
Conclusion: The application of the educational intervention increased the knowledge about sexuality in special education workers.
