-Abstract
Adolescence is a transitional stage of human physical and mental development. Masturbation is
the sexual stimulation of one's own genitals for sexual arousal or other sexual pleasure, usually to the
point of orgasm. Blindness is a disturbing physical condition with deep emotional and economic
consequences. Objective: Identify the effect of educational program about masturbation on knowledge
and attitude of blind adolescent students. Setting: The study was conducted at the outpatient students'
Health Insurance Clinic and the Blind School in Benha. Subjects: A total of 120 blind adolescent
students (76 males and 44 females) were recruited for this study. Tools: Tool I: structured interview
sheet which included 2 parts (1): Socio-demographical data, (2): Adolescent's knowledge about
masturbation, and tool II: Likert scale (Adolescent's attitude about masturbation). Results: There was
a highly significant difference in pre and post-intervention program and the knowledge and attitude
towards masturbation among study sample. Conclusion: Educational intervention had a significant
role in increasing knowledge and changing attitude of adolescent students. Recommendations: These
educational program initiatives need to be improved periodically to ensure sustainability of their
positive effects on increasing knowledge and changing attitude.
