Abstract
Background/Objectives: Sex trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery still present in our societies. Health professionals are in a key position to identify and support victims, but adequate training is required. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of a structured educational intervention on knowledge, perceived professional role, and attitudes toward sex trafficking of women among undergraduate nursing students at the University of Seville, Spain. Methods: A cluster randomized pilot educational trial with a pre-test–post-test control group design and one-year follow-up was conducted. A two-hour educational session addressed key concepts related to sex trafficking, health professionals’ responsibilities, and survivor support. Knowledge and attitudes were assessed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and at one-year follow-up. Results: 199 students participated. Significant post-intervention improvements were observed in knowledge and attitudes, with sustained impact after one year despite some knowledge decay. Conclusions: This pilot educational intervention appears to improve knowledge and attitudes toward sex trafficking among undergraduate nursing students and may represent a useful strategy for sensitizing and training future health professionals in this area.
