| 内容記述 | Sexual education and coun seling for patients with myocardial infarction (MI) are important be-cause their psychological process and side effects caused by medicines influence their sexualities.Therefore, it is important to discuss these sexual issues and to consider detailed guides by survey-ing current sexual counseling and education for patients.We conducted a survey of 159 nurses in the circulatory department among 7 facilities in 2 prefec-tures, regarding the current situation about sexual counseling and education. As a result, 95.6% of nurses answeredthatthere is no counseling or less counseling asked, 94% that they offer no or less edication. the answeres indicated that the reasonsare that there is no knowledge available about sexu-ality of patients with MI, no knowledge about wats of expressing huuman sexuality problems, uncpm-fortableness of nurses themselves, and no knowledge about sexuality of agedpeple.Also, these an-swers suggest that studies about sexuality of patients with MI, human sexuality, the role required as a specialist, and reserving a secure place with privacy are necessary. Furthermore, as there are very little study resources available, related information is necessary.It is also suggested that consideration be given to guidance and methods regarding sexual issues beccccause of the shortage of studies about detailed daily education levels, specific influences over psy-chological processes, and side effects of medical treatments. |
