"The Challenge of Sexuality in Health Care" is for all nurses and
health care professionals who have ever experienced feelings of
inadequacy or embarrassment in addressing health care issues
related to sexuality. Sexuality remains one of the most sensitive,
challenging and marginalised elements in the work of health care
practitioners.
Adopting a broad definition of sexuality, the text provides a
greater understanding of sexuality from its societal contexts to
the microcosm of the nurse/patient relationship. Experts within
their individual fields confront the challenging realities for both
nursing and wider society, as well as the experiences of service
users and their partners. Readers are invited to challenge
conventions in practice, and to implement individual and
organisational change which will enhance the ways in which
sexuality is addressed.
Key Features:
Offers diverse perspectives on sexuality within its historical and
cultural context
Considers the meaning of sexuality to people in health, illness and
disability
Examines the influences upon the integration of sexuality within
health care practice
Includes practical examples of care enhancement
Provides recommendations for education and practice development
Sexuality and sexual health are not only central elements of
holistic care, but also contribute to the effective management of a
whole range of sensitive healthcare challenges. "The Challenge of
Sexuality in Health Care" is of direct relevance to undergraduate
nursing students, qualified nurses undertaking post-registration
courses and nurses in all areas of practice. It will also be a
valuable resource for social workers, physiotherapists,
occupational therapists, doctors and other health care
professionals.
