This identificative type of study was conducted in 2007-2008 with the aim of determining the levels of knowledge on sexual health/parental health of fourth-class students studying at the Ataturk University Nursing High School and Health High School and studying the socio-demographic factors affecting their knowledge. The universe of the study was composed of a total of 155 students in the 4th class of the schools indicated. There were no examples from the universe, and a total of 124 students who were in schools on the day of the research were taken into the study scope. The data was collected with 28 question survey forms created by the researchers. 74.2% of students found that they were boys and 51.5 percent of their friendship were social. 61.3% of students have defined sexual health as healthy sexuality. 91.9 percent said they received information about sexual health, and 47.6 percent said that the source of information was books, magazines and encyclopedias. About 50.8 per cent of students in sexual health talked to their mother, with 30.6 per cent of students in sexual health talked to their mother. 37.9% of students received sexual health services and 46.8% of students received information/education in the first place. As a result, the majority of the students who participated in the study found that they had a high level of knowledge about sexual health/fertility health, but the majority did not receive a service on this. Therefore, health workers can be recommended to organize and implement educational programs for university students.
