| description | This article presents findings from a review of the evidence regarding sexual health for older women
from MEDLINE, SCOPUS and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health (CINHAL) databases. A total
of 10 articles based on primary studies, reporting about the sexuality or sexual health of older women (and older
people), and published between 2002–2012, were deemed suitable. The major themes that emerged from the
available literature suggest that the sexual health of older people is affected by factors such as physical changes,
mental health, changes to their relationship with their husband, chronic ill health and other psychosocial situations.
It is concluded that nurses and other healthcare providers have a range of interventions that can be adopted
to promote sexual health among older women. These interventions may focus on improving the older woman’s
sexual health assessment; increasing awareness and knowledge about sexuality in later life; pharmacological and
psychotherapeutic therapies; using alternative techniques to achieve better sexual functioning; addressing partner
and relationship issues, and advocating the importance of sexual health through media and policy development. |
