Abstract

From a nursing point of view, it is necessary to conduct a full assessment of health service users. A person is a biopsychosocial being and it’s necessary to have a comprehensive vision of him. Sexuality is part of our everyday life and is a key aspect in the lives of all of us. However, it seems to be omitted by nursing professionals when the user enters the health system. Regardless of the disease suffered by the subject of our cares, sexuality is present and is part of his personal and daily life. The influence of the biomedical system often makes sexuality to be treated from the pathogenesis point of view, ignoring the valuation of an experience of a healthy sexuality. Sexuality is often observed from a heterosexual perspective only, or linked solely to reproduction, denying with this attitude the experience of sexuality to many of our patients. A comprehensive and holistic care should be provided, but during both nursing education and practice, in many cases, the sexuality pattern is excluded, making this subject a taboo./nThrough a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive and cross study, we pretend to know why nurses do not explore enough the sexuality patterns of the users and what are the reasons that prevent us from doing so. The study will be conducted from a questionnaire which will be distributed among nurses of the different health services of Parc de Salut Mar.
